If you book all 14 seats on any trip, you will have your own private charter. In addition to being the only party on the boat, you'll be able to work with your captain to customize your trip to your liking. For instance, you'll be able to decide whether to pick up and move to a new location or continue snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay (time and conditions permitting). Don't miss this opportunity to snorkel the famous Kealakekua Bay and Captain Cook Monument, in a private small-group experience that's unmatched. Get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Short Private Hike To Secret Jungle Tide Pool

This tide pool is my secret. It's off the beaten path. A miracle of nature. It's located in Pahoa (30 min. south of Hilo). We'll use a jungle & lava rock coastal trail. Each way takes 20-30 min. and is half a mile. You control how long we stay at the pool (typically 1 - 1.5 hours). - There's elevation gain on the hike, offering amazing views of the coast. - The pool is like an infinity pool overlooking the cliffs. You'll feel close to the wild ocean while being protected. - The conditions are unusually calm. There's a deep (4-7 ft.) & shallow (1-4 ft.) area. - The pool fills when waves hit the cliffs, sending water into the air like a blowhole upwards of 50 ft. - You can explore the exotic ecosystem, e.g., crabs, fish, shells, rocks, other creatures. The views from the lava rock border are chef's kiss. - The crystal clear water is mineralized by the lava rock. - You'll be alone at the pool because it's unknown. - Your experience will be customized. Only your group will participate.
