What Is an Ocean Safari? Everything You Need to Know
If you’ve seen the words “Ocean Safari” and wondered what it means—you’re not alone! At Ocean Eco Tours, our Ocean Safari is one of the most exciting and unique ways to experience the waters off the Kona Coast. It’s not just a snorkel tour, and it’s not just a boat ride—it’s a full-on ocean exploration designed for adventure, discovery, and connection with Hawaii’s marine life.
Here’s what makes an Ocean Safari so special:
🐬 It’s a Wildlife-Focused Ocean Adventure
An Ocean Safari is about exploring beyond the reef to search for a wide variety of marine life. From playful pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins to elusive sharks, rays, and even seasonal whales—every safari is different, and that’s what makes it exciting. We go where the ocean leads us, keeping our eyes peeled for any signs of activity.
🌊 Offshore + Reef Exploration
Our Ocean Safari includes time both nearshore and offshore. We often start by exploring vibrant coral reefs, where you can snorkel among tropical fish and colorful marine ecosystems. Then, we head out into deeper blue water—far from the crowds—where larger pelagic species roam. The mix of environments gives you a chance to see a variety of ocean life in one trip.
👥 Small Groups for a Better Experience
Unlike large tour boats, we keep things intimate—just 12 guests max—so you get a front-row seat to the action. This also allows for a flexible itinerary and personalized attention from our crew, whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or just learning the ropes.
📸 Free Underwater Videos Included
We believe every safari deserves to be remembered. That’s why we include free underwater videos of the wildlife we encounter—so you can relive the magic and share it with friends and family.
🧭 Why It’s Called a “Safari”
Much like a land-based safari in Africa, an Ocean Safari is unpredictable and wild—in the best way. We never promise exactly what we’ll see, because the ocean is always changing. But that’s part of the adventure. With our expert guides and years of local knowledge, we know where to look and how to approach marine life respectfully and safely.
🐟 Who It’s For
Our Ocean Safari is perfect for:
• Wildlife lovers
• Snorkelers of all skill levels (though some ocean comfort is helpful)
• Adventure seekers who want more than the average tour
• Families and small groups looking for a more intimate experience
