Seafari And Discover Pawai Afternoon Reef Snorkel Tour
Skip the crowds and discover our stunning local sites!
Snorkeling is a must-do activity when visiting Hawaii. The warm waters and vibrant coral reefs are home to a diverse array of fish, turtles, and other sea creatures. And there’s no better place to snorkel than Pawai Bay. This secluded spot is accessible only by boat, and its shallow reefs are teeming with wildlife. Guests on our snorkeling trip will have the chance to see all sorts of amazing marine life, from colorful fish and spinner dolphins to sea turtles. We also provide educational briefings about the wildlife we encounter.
Snorkeling in Pawai Bay is incredible. The water is crystal clear, so you can see hundreds of feet. The reef is healthy and there is a variety of marine life here. You can snorkel around the reef, which is close to the shore, or you can swim out to the deeper part of the bay where you will find caves, arches, and swim-throughs. You might see lobsters, eels, and other animals in the darker depths. It is also common to see large schools of fish such as butterfly fish, goatfish, triggerfish, and mullet. Sea turtles are common, and even Spinner dolphins sometimes venture into the bay.
Our guides will be happy to take you to the select spots and show you the unique marine life. Kona is home to the highest rate of endemic (found only in Hawaii) fish in the world. There are colorful long-nose butterflyfish like the Wili wili nuku nuku oi oi, and large puffer fish like the Kokala. Colorful reef fish are abundant here but there are also eels, sea stars, and the occasional large animal including turtles, manta rays, and spotted eagle rays. The protection of the reef allows many different critters to hide among it. Occasionally you will spot an eel head or a shy octopus poking out from under the reef!
