Overview

  • Combines a sea turtle lagoon snorkel with a stop at one of the Big Island's black sand beaches
  • Shore-based, lower cost than boat-based Kona snorkel trips

A shore-entry snorkel trip on the Hilo side featuring a known turtle lagoon and a black sand beach stop - the Big Island's volcanic black sand beaches are geologically distinct and a signature east-side sight.

Tripreviewall's Take

A good budget-friendly Hilo-side alternative to boat-based Kona snorkel trips.

Good for
  • Budget-conscious snorkelers
  • Travelers wanting to see a black sand beach without a separate stop
Worth knowing
  • Shore snorkeling depends more on same-day conditions than boat trips to established sites - ask about current visibility
