Blue Sea Cruises
One of the great children's or Kid's activities on the Kona Coast of the Big Island would be the tours offered by Blue Sea Cruises. Not only is the water off the coast of Kona usually fairly flat and conducive to a comfortable ride for the children but the Blue Sea Cruises double deck seventy-foot power catamaran called the Spirit of Kona also has two glass-bottom ports below which are great for children to view the underwater world through. The reef life off the coast of Kona is extensive with plenty of fish and turtles, rays, eels, dolphins and whales in season and always offer a possibility to be seen. The wide and open decks of the boat allow plenty of room for children to scurry about and the educational opportunities and education available on these cruises make them a natural for children of all ages.…
| Description: No need to get wet! Watch the Giant Kona Manta Rays perform an underwater ballet while you stay dry, safe, cozy and comfortable on the decks of the glass bottom boat, the Spirit of Kona. High intensity lights illuminate the underwater scene. Watch through the large glass bottom windows as the giant manta ray enters and feeds on the plankton forming near the lights under the boat. Seen up close and just inches from the glass, the experience is fabulous. Snap photographs and video to take home to share with your family and friends.
