Wild Hawaii Ocean Adventures is a Big Island outfitter that runs high-speed snorkeling and marine life tours from the Kona coast. The company operates fast vessels that transport guests quickly to iconic sites like Captain Cook’s Monument and Kealakekua Bay, enabling more time on the water and underwater. Guided tours include daytime snorkeling excursions that search for dolphins, mantas, and colorful reef fish along dramatic lava tube coastline and sea caves.
Trips are led by seasoned captains who navigate to prime snorkeling coves and black‑sand beaches, provide on-deck briefing, and return guests to the marina with complimentary refreshments on select tours. One signature offering is the Manta Ray Night Snorkeling, departing from Honokohau Marina on a speedy Navy Seal style boat; that experience includes provided snorkeling gear and hot cocoa and focuses on close encounters with manta rays feeding on plankton beneath the lights.
Wild Hawaii Ocean Adventures lists an Offshore Blue Water Adventure among its offerings. Specific itinerary details for the offshore trip were not included in the provided material. The company emphasizes fast transit, guided snorkeling, and opportunities to explore sea caves, lava tubes, and marine habitats around Kealakekua Bay.
