Certified Dives and a Captain Cook Snorkel, Boarding at Honokōhau Marina
Kona Honu Divers lists scuba trips including a 2-tank local morning dive, a premium advanced 2-tank dive, a morning introductory scuba dive and private tours (plus night dives, which this app leaves out), and snorkel trips including a Captain Cook snorkel at Kealakekua Bay. The FAQ says guests board at Honokōhau marina ("Do not come to the shop") and that no transport is provided; the site gives a phone number, 808-324-4668, but no street address. Dive trips require certification; the manta night dive requires open-water certification.
The Captain Cook snorkel is 4 to 4.5 hours, ages 3 and up, at 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM or 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with snorkel equipment, flotation belts, snacks and drinks (transport and tips not included); it is not suitable for expectant mothers or people with back or neck issues. The site does not publish prices (it says to check availability for current pricing) or operating days. Charters carry a 7.712% tax (4.712% sales tax plus a 3% harbor use fee), a 6% convenience fee applies to online bookings, and cancellations follow a 72-hour policy with full refund up to 72 hours ahead. The Captain Cook booking link goes to Kona Snorkel Trips' booking system, so it may be the same boat as that listing.
