Big Island
Snorkeling Guide
 We
are going to show you our favorite snorkeling spots on the Big
Island of Hawaii. This is not a comprehensive list of all
snorkeling locations on the Big Island, but merely a personal guide
of our most frequented snorkeling sites. We have divided our Snorkeling Guide
between the two sides of the Big Island: Hilo and
Kona. Click below to view our favorite Hawaii snorkeling spots.
Kona Snorkeling
Visibility is
typically better on the Kona (western) side of the Big Island than
the Hilo (eastern) side. The snorkel sites on the Kona side
range from the sandy Kohala Coast with shallow waters and sea
turtles all the way down to South Kona with magnificent water
clarity and thriving coral reefs. Check out our
Kona Snorkeling Guide.
Hilo Snorkeling
There are a few snorkeling sites on the Hilo (eastern) side of the
Big Island - all close by to Hilo town. Although the
visibility is not as good as in Kona, there is still a lot of
underwater life to see and unique places to go. If you are on
the windward side of the island, we recommend taking the time to
snorkel. Check out our Hilo Snorkeling
Guide.
