Small Boat on a Lava Coast

Big Island Rafting

Add excitement to your vacation with Big Island rafting tours that deliver speed, adventure, and close encounters with marine life. These small-group excursions use rigid-hull inflatable rafts that let you ride the waves and access remote coves, sea caves, and pristine snorkeling locations along the Kona coast.

Popular rafting trips include snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Monument, dolphin watching cruises, and seasonal whale watching adventures. With fewer passengers than large boats, rafting tours create a more personal and adventurous atmosphere. Knowledgeable guides provide insights about the island’s history, geology, and marine ecosystem as you explore.

Whether you’re snorkeling with tropical fish, gliding past sea cliffs, or enjoying the thrill of a fast ride on the open water, Big Island rafting tours are an unforgettable way to experience Hawaii’s ocean beauty.
