About

The brackish water bays and lagoons around scenic Hilo are home to a wide variety of abundant sea life. Your local, experienced snorkel guide will teach you how the black sand beaches and volcanic islands are made as well as other fascinating facts about your lush surroundings.
Grab your goggles and look below the water's surface and discover an underwater world teeming with colorful corals, eels, eagle and manta rays and so much more! This area is well known for its large population of sea turtles and dizzying array of tropical reef fish.
New to snorkeling? Not a problem! Your expertly trained guide will teach you the basics and be with you every step of the way to ensure your safety and comfort. Children are also welcome to participate and will be introduced to Mother Nature in a most spectacular way.
