What types of snorkeling trips are common?

How much does a private snorkeling trip cost?

Prices for snorkeling trips can range anywhere from about $695 to $4,400, but the average price for a half day trip for snorkeling trips is $1,417. The average price for a full day trip for snorkeling trips is $3,292.

Is booking a guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is in the wild every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of having a great trip.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for snorkeling tours?

The most popular season for snorkeling tours is summer, and most people book their trips 29 days in advance.

    Captain Larry took our Girls’ Trip ladies out for an afternoon cruise. We spent time leisurely snorkeling beautiful reefs then relaxing on the sand bar. The time went too quickly but we never felt rushed. Larry was very friendly and accommodating to our group.

    Trip: Boating Adventure

    What a great experience! I have three sons (ages 10–15), and they had a fantastic time being out on the water and learning about fishing. Charles and Scott were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. A special thank-you to Charles, who helped my oldest son reel in an ono—an unforgettable moment and definitely one of the highlights of our time on the Big Island. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing adventure!

    Trip: Kona, HI Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip with Captain Chris! The night before Captain Chris texted that the wind was forecasted to pick up and the sea state would be rough and probably not enjoyable for the kids we would have with us. Instead he offered to take us on a near shore trip to snorkle a reef, see sea turtles, and beach pigs. Lots of great moments for the kids. Awesome trip.

    Trip: Rose Island Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great trip with Buoy and Chenta. Right on time start in the morning. Buoy is very knowledgeable about all the marine life and both he and Chenta were very observant and were able to locate dolphins and feeding fish. Both my daughter and I were able to reel in Jack Crevalle fish! They also showed us a school of rays we would not have noticed without their observations. We really enjoyed the snorkeling around coral island - the main reason for booking our sea adventure. We also enjoyed the short hike to an observation point. The trip was personalized to us -
