Tropical Reef & Wildlife Boat Snorkel Adventure

Looking for a fun and memorable experience? Come enjoy our guided Zodiac Dolphin Adventure and Tropical Reef Snorkel along the pristine Hilo coast! Our tour departs from the Wailoa Boat harbor in Hilo and ventures beyond the breakwall to explore and snorkel the scenic coastline on our 20 foot inflatable zodiac. Enjoy the iconic lush coastlines that Hilo has to offer, and explore untouched coves where pods of dolphins hide away and often play in our wake. Stop off in one of these idyllic coves to snorkel over spectacular and untouched reef structures and sand patches, and immerse yourself in East Hawaii's diverse sea life. Our coastline is renowned for the abundant sea turtle population, and our brackish water bays and lagoons are home to a wealth of sea life including octopus, eagle and manta rays, eels, corals, and tropical reef fish! Your captain and snorkel guide will teach you all about the abundance of sea life below, and will ensure you have a fun and memorable experience.

A: The adventure typically lasts about 3-4 hours, including time for snorkeling and exploring. You'll spend some time getting to the best spots, so be ready for a full but fun morning or afternoon! Make sure to check with Hilo Ocean Adventures for any updates on timing.

Q: Are there age or size restrictions for kids on the boat?
