This cruise aboard the Hang Loose catamaran takes you along the Big Island's scenic Kona Coast. Watch spinner dolphins frolic in the crystal clear waters and snorkel over a pristine coral reef. This is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure. Along the way, the crew will share stories of the old Hawaii.
If someone in your party doesn't want to swim, but prefers to stay on the boat, there is a Rider option with a reduced rate. You can make this selection in the shopping cart.
