About Body Glove - Morning Super Raft Snorkel

Body Glove 4 hours

Spend the morning cruising south along the Kona Coast toward Red Hill, a protected marine area reached by boat. The water here is known for colorful reef life, tropical fish and clear snorkeling conditions, with the chance to spot green sea turtles or wild dolphins along the way.

Before you get in the water, the lifeguard-trained crew goes over safety and snorkeling basics, so even newer snorkelers can feel more comfortable. Once anchored, you’ll have about two hours to explore the reef at your own pace.

Back on board, rinse off with the freshwater showers, take a turn down the 20-foot inflatable water slide, or simply relax on deck while the catamaran heads back along the coast.
