# Kaimana Ocean Safari

**Guidekin's take:** Explore the Kona coastline in search of marine wildlife with a small shared group of up to six guests. Snorkel gear, snacks and filtered water are included; you must be able to climb the boat ladder. 4.92 from 276 reviews at €232 per person for 4h.

## Overview

At Kaimana Ocean Safari you'll be guided by professionally trained ocean guides, boat captains, and underwater photographers to observe and interact with various wildlife along the Kona coastline. Our vessel only takes 6 people max so you beat the typical tourist trap large vessels for a more intimate experience. We approach our unique tours “safari” style, meaning we cover vast areas of the coastline in search of marine life aboard our vessel. We believe “the search” is part of the fun and allows nature to deliver the adventure. Join us on an incredible journey leaving you with a lifetime of memories! Please visit some of our instagram accounts to view more of what you can possibly see. Please note we do not guarantee any sightings or refund for lack of sightings. Wildlife is unpredictable and we cover as much ground as possible to see as much as we can.
