Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)
An absolutely grand time
This tour is outstanding. One disclaimer, it is 'whale watch lite' then let's go snorkel. We looked for whales on the way to the snorkel spot and again on the way back. And we did see a couple from a distance. I say this because if you want to really focus on the whales, get up really close, look for multiple sightings, etc., then you might want to choose another. But, if you want a great cruise with great snorkeling, and an opportunity to see a whale, then this is the one.
The boat is well equipped, comfortable, and the crew very attentive. Food is available most of the cruise, and it was very good. A cash bar was available. The captain was very knowledgable, giving interesting commentary on the whales, dolphins (we shall many Dolphins), and geology of the island.
The snorkel spot was outstanding, located just off the coast. The water was just right, and there were all kinds of colorful fish to see. The snorkel instruction was h best I have seen. They even taught me how to not drink half the ocean. There is a water slide on the boat, fun.
Overall a great day.

Grand Circle Island, Coffee Farm & Volcano Sightseeing Tour from Kona [Open Now] / Standard Package
Good way to start a visit
This tour s a great way to get an overview of the big island. The content is good, maybe a few too many 'souvenir' stops, but overall a very good tour. Our guide was very personable, and very knowledgable. He gave a constant commentary of the history of the island, geology, and flora. The stop at Volcanoes National Park was a highlight, would have enjoyed more time there. One suggestion, bottled water on the bus would be nice.
