Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to participate in the snorkel adventure?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but kids should be at least 5 years old to snorkel safely. They can also use flotation devices if they’re not super comfortable in the water. It's a great family activity, so don't worry if your kids are new to snorkeling!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our snorkel trip?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, they typically reschedule your trip for another day. They'll make the call based on safety and conditions right before the trip. Plus, they usually reach out to keep you updated!

Q: How physically demanding is the snorkeling? I’m not very fit.

A: The snorkeling is beginner-friendly! You don't need to be super fit, and they provide flotation devices like pool noodles. Plus, there's in-water assistance if you need help getting used to it. It's all about having fun!

Just booked the Mauna Kea snorkel adventure for my family!

I'm super excited! We’re going on August 25th and I can’t wait to see the sea turtles and dolphins. It’ll be my kids' first time snorkeling, so I hope they love it! I heard the lunch is really good too. Does anyone have tips for making the most of the experience?

Anyone gone on the Mauna Kea snorkel trip recently?

I’m thinking of gifting this to my partner for their birthday! It sounds amazing, but I’m wondering about the best time of year to go and whether it's crowded? Also, how's the lunch they serve?
