SEA
QUEST RAFTING ADVENTURES
 The
hard-bottom, rigid-hull rafts used by Sea Quest carry
only six and 12 passengers so they have more room and
attention. The tour visits the calm, clear waters of
Kealakekua Bay, making this a great trip for beginner
or pro. The morning adventure includes a second snorkeling
stop at Honaunau. Traveling by raft also offers great
views of sea caves and lava tubes along the rugged coastline.
Sea Quest trips launch from Keauhou Bay because
its proximity to snorkel destinations allows more time
for snorkeling and coastline exploration. Snacks, snorkel
gear and Rx masks are included. For more information
and reservations call (808) 329-RAFT (7238).
