The Living Reef Lab Snorkel is a 3-hour immersive tour departing from Kawaihae Harbor in Waimea. This unique experience invites guests to engage in hands-on citizen science while snorkeling along the Kohala Coast. Participants learn about reef ecosystems, marine life, and conservation goals through guided observation and data collection.
The tour includes two snorkeling stops at carefully selected reefs. At the first reef, guests use fish identification cards and observe species behaviors and coral health under crew guidance. After a surface interval with refreshments, the second reef stop allows for applied exploration and further species identification.
Throughout the tour, the crew provides ongoing education about reef conservation and marine ecosystems. Complimentary photos and videos are captured to document the experience. The tour concludes with a relaxing return cruise and a review of observations made during the trip.
