Yes, Big Island of Hawaii catamaran cruises are worth it. The Pacific Ocean surrounding the island is teeming with marine life—ranging from SUV-sized manta rays to adorable sea turtles—and if you don't go out on a boat, there's a good chance you'll never see it. Not only do these cruises offer snorkeling and swimming, but many specialize in sunset sailings, so you'll have an epic end to your day, and with dinner and sometimes live entertainment, an incredible start to your night. All catamaran cruises come with licensed captains and local crew who share their treasured island with you.
Per one customer who booked the Deluxe Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Aboard a Luxury Catamaran from Kailua-Kona cruise, "This was an exceptional experience!! It is definitely a must-do for visitors to the area - families, friends, young and old. Such a lovely boat ride with an Incredibly friendly and accommodating crew. We were served a great breakfast (yogurt, fruit, granola and pastries) and lunch (burgers and veggie burgers). The food was delicious and there was plenty to eat and drink. When we got to our destination there were so many options for activities: high jump, slide, snorkeling, paddle boarding, a large water mat for relaxing and even a cool little floating thing for young kids. The vessel itself was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone.
Most importantly though was the crew….their friendliness and service really made the difference! Every single crew member was professional and took safely seriously while also being incredibly approachable and attentive. Shout out to Captain Erica, Adam, and Brianna!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
