Body Glove Kona Snorkeling Cruise with BBQ Lunch & Guaranteed Dolphin SightingsSALE
Quick Confirmation
Embark on a fun Body Glove snorkel tour, Kona's most popular boat trip! Swim at the protected Red Hill marine sanctuary, teeming with sea life, and watch for spinner dolphins in transit, as sightings are guaranteed or you ride again free!
Big Island snorkeling tours don't get much better than this! With access to a private Marine Sanctuary at Red Hill, where some of the best snorkeling on Big Island can be found, and a boat decked out with lots of cool features, like a built-in water slide, this is sure to be fun for the entire family. Also, watch for wild dolphins along the Kona Coast, as they regularly race alongside Body Glove's boat and leap from the water. As dolphin watching is such a big part of the Body Glove tour experience, if you don't see any dolphins during your excursion, you can schedule to ride again for free!
