# Midday Meander - Kealakekua Bay Kayak and Snorkel Adventure

**Guidekin's take:** Paddle across Kealakekua Bay from the Pier at Napoo’poo landing to Ka’awaloa, then snorkel above coral heads. Kayaks, snorkel gear, snacks and drinks are included; bring your own sun protection. 4.93 from 96 reviews at €171 per person for 4h.

In our comparison: #2 of 4 in Kayak & Canoe Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Spend an afternoon with our certified guides and enjoy the majestic scenery of Kealakekua Bay while learning about its rich history and cultural importance.

We kayak the Bay from the Pier at Napoo’poo landing across the the protected shore of Ka’awaloa where we spend our time leisurely snorkeling above beautiful coral heads and a drop off that plunges to almost 250?.

We’ll enjoy a light snack and some drinks on shore and share stories from Captain Cooks visits to the island while visiting his monument. The paddle back always seems to end too soon and before you know it we’re back at the pier where the tour wraps up.
