Kealakekua Bay

Kealakekua Bay is a premier snorkeling location on the Big Island of Hawaii and a top favorite of our team and customers. Snorkeling here has some significant advantages over some of the other locations on the Big Island, not the least of which is in a National Park. When you are in Kealakekua Bay, you’ll find yourself surrounded by coral and other marine life with a very healthy reef as well as plenty of opportunities for schooling fish.

Snorkeling here can often be done during the day and is a favorite among many customers who have commented on how much they enjoyed this location. Kealakekua Bay is located on the southern side of the island, and you’ll find that it is a bit deeper than some of the other locations on Hawaii’s Big Island. This makes it great for snorkeling as well as diving, but you’ll need to make sure you have all the proper equipment for those types of activities. Although we provide all of your snorkeling equipment, some vendors also rent snorkel equipment if you book a tour with us. You can expect to see some extensive and healthy coral formations, along with plenty of fish and other marine life at Kealakekua Bay.

While this might be one of the best snorkeling locations on the Big Island, it is not for the novice or inexperienced snorkelers. It is an excellent place for those who have been doing it for a while, and you’ll find that you get a better experience if you are used to snorkeling in general and being familiar with what to expect. This site has some giant fish, and despite being in protected waters, there is a chance you’ll encounter some shark activity. Fish that can be seen here are coral fish, triggerfish, goatfish, and occasionally squid. Be careful and do not touch the coral because it is fragile. Being in a National Park has its benefits, but it also makes the water more protected and more stable. There are rips along with the coral, but they tend not to be as strong as rips that you might find in other locations on the Big Island.
