Deep Ocean Safari

Experience the Deep Ocean Safari Reef Snorkel

The Deep Ocean Safari Reef Snorkel offers a 5-hour specialized charter departing from Kawaihae Harbor in Waimea. This tour ventures offshore along the Kohala Coast to seek pelagic wildlife rarely seen on typical tours. Guests may encounter dolphins, seasonal whales, pilot whales, melon-headed whales, false killer whales, pygmy sperm whales, and various shark species.

Wildlife Encounters and Hydrophone Listening

During the safari, the crew provides expert insights and spotting techniques. When conditions allow, a hydrophone is deployed to listen to ocean sounds, including humpback whale songs during the season. This immersive experience enhances wildlife observation and education.

Reef Snorkeling and Relaxation

After offshore exploration, the tour returns toward the Kohala Coast for a guided snorkel stop at a pristine reef chosen for optimal conditions. Guests enjoy vibrant coral and marine life with guidance from the crew. Drinks and light snacks are served onboard during intervals between activities.
