Overview

Spend an afternoon with our certified guides and enjoy the majestic scenery of Kealakekua Bay while learning about its rich history and cultural importance.

We kayak the Bay from the Pier at Napoo’poo landing across the the protected shore of Ka’awaloa where we spend our time leisurely snorkeling above beautiful coral heads and a drop off that plunges to almost 250?.

We’ll enjoy a light snack and some drinks on shore and share stories from Captain Cooks visits to the island while visiting his monument. The paddle back always seems to end too soon and before you know it we’re back at the pier where the tour wraps up.

What To Expect

We would be stoked to have you join us for a Midday Meander Kayak and Snorkel Adventure in Kealakekua Bay. Guests meet us at our location in Kealakekua, where we review Marine Life Conservation Rules, provide a thorough orientation and outfit guests with snorkel gear. Guests then drive themselves down to Kealakekua Bay where their guide is waiting for them with all of their gear already set up and ready to go. We will do a quick safety talk before launching our kayaks from the Napoopoo Pier. We take a leisurely pace as we paddle the mile from the pier to the landing at Ka'awaloa where Captain Cook's Monument stands, taking time to watch for Marine Mammals (dolphins and whales), observe the scenic beauty, and share some of the amazing history of the area. Once on the other side of the bay we land the kayaks and prepare to snorkel the Ka'awaloa coastline. Famous for its scenic cliff which plunges to 250' with coral growing at over 100' deep, the water is alive with a diverse array of reef fish and marine life. Once out fo the water we relax and talk story over a great snack provided by our partners at The Coffee Shack and then take an easy paddle back across the bay.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
