Speed off to the famous Captain Cook monument in beautiful Kealakekua Bay. Spend the afternoon snorkelling, checking out wildlife, and enjoying a ride on the fastest and most manoeuvrable boat in the US Navy.

Leave port and head to Kealakekua Bay, getting there in half the time of other boats thanks to the incredible speed of your vessel. This translates into more time snorkelling in one of Hawaii's top marine preserves—calm waters rich with marine life. Chances are good that you see spinner dolphins, depending on conditions and the mood of the dolphins, of course. They love to come to the bay and are protected by the Marine Mammal Act.

As you tour the area, the captain and crew share their knowledge of the area, the marine life, and the region's historical background. The ride back is a thrill. Hang on as the boat, known for its military-tested mobility, brings you right up to the shore for epic views of unlikely rock formations, sea caves, and lava tubes.
