About Our Trips

Most Unique Tours in Kona

We offer a unique array of ocean adventures that are vastly different from the typical reef snorkeling excursions found in Hawaii. Our wildlife safaris blend wildlife observation and immersive education in offshore environments that few ever experience. Our tours are specially designed for ocean enthusiasts, snorkelers, divers, and photographers, and can be smoothly adapted into enriching, transformative experiences for families and children on private charters.

Owner Operated

Our company has always been owner-operated since it’s inception in order to maximize customer experiences and ensure an eco-concious approach to ecotourism.

Specialized Crew

Our qualified crew of captains and guides encompass a wealth of ocean experience and species specific knowledge from years of working in the pelagic marine environment.

Private Charters Available

If you are looking for a more customized ocean tour for all parties and experience levels, please contact us to learn more about our private charters.

Customized 6 Passenger Boat

Our 24.5 ft vessel is optimized for our ocean safaris in both construction and capacity. Our modified T-top spotting tower greatly enhances our success with finding wildlife, and our smaller 6 person passenger count means a more intimate experience and higher caliber ocean encounters.

Gear Included

We provide our guests with snorkeling equipment including fins, mask, and snorkel. We also offer snacks, drinks, and reef safe sunscreen on every trip.

Discover Hawaii's Marine Wildlife

Deep Water Hawaii is known for our unparalleled ocean safaris, which are mainly spent offshore in deep water looking for Hawaii’s pelagic wildlife. No two days are ever the same, as we tailor each trip itinerary to our guests interests and sea conditions, but never know what we might see.  

 

On our trips, we have the potential to observe a large variety of whales, dolphins, sharks, rays, fish and other unique marine animals that reside and frequent the Big Island of Hawaii.

Our expertise comes from decades of studying and immersing ourselves in the ocean. Our crew is highly skilled and trained in freediving, captaining, animal behavior, vessel operation and marine safety.  

Our ocean guides are students of the sea, and look forward to passing on our knowledge, appreciation and care of marine wildlife to all of our guests.  

​Come on a bluewater advent with us to see what we might find!
