Kona Snorkel Trips

Kona Snorkel Trips runs shared snorkel tours out of Kailua-Kona on Hawaiʻi Island's Kona Coast. Residents can sign up for a free membership that unlocks an ongoing kamaʻāina discount on shared tours, making it one of the easier ongoing snorkel deals to use on the Big Island.

The kamaʻāina deal

• Free Kamaʻāina Membership — no cost to join
• Members save 20% off any shared tour
• Discount covers up to four immediate family members
• Enter your member number at booking to apply the discount
• Valid Hawaiʻi ID required

What to expect

Shared snorkel tours are a lower-cost way to get out on the Kona Coast's clear, calm leeward waters, joining other guests aboard a shared boat rather than booking a private charter. The Kona Coast is known for its consistently good visibility and easy access to reef and open-water snorkel sites, a big part of why it's one of Hawaiʻi's most popular regions for boat-based snorkeling. Shared tours along this stretch of coastline commonly include stops for dolphin-watching, and depending on the season, sightings of humpback whales offshore roughly between December and April.

Good to know

Because the membership is free and reusable, it's designed for residents who snorkel more than once — sign up a single time, then apply the discount to your own trips or to book for up to four immediate family members at a time, making it a practical option for family outings without re-registering each visit.

Who it's best for

Residents and local families who want an affordable, repeatable way to get on the water, especially those planning to snorkel more than once a year and want the membership discount to carry over each time.
