The black-footed albatross has one of the longest wingspans of any bird, measuring up to 6.5 feet (2 meters). This impressive wingspan allows it to glide over vast ocean distances without flapping its wings, conserving energy as it follows ocean currents in search of food🌊✨

Meet Captain Sandy! In honor of we would like to highlight some of the amazing women at Captain Zodiac, & we are kicking it off with Captain Sandy! We are so happy to have her on our team 🌺 Read a message from her below ⬇️ and swipe to see some 5 ⭐️ reviews!

“Living in Hawaii and working on the water has always been my dream. Over the past decade, I’ve spent more than 8,000 hours at sea and 5,000 hours in the water, guiding dives and teaching freediving. I love sharing my passion for the ocean with others—especially when it comes with a side of dad jokes! In 2024, I joined Captain Zodiac and am thrilled to be part of their team.” - Captain Sandy

She can’t wait to take you out on a tour! 🏴‍☠️

Experience the Kona coastline

Exploring the Big Island's Kona Coast with the original rafting company, on our 24-foot Zodiac boats is an experience of a lifetime!

For over 30 years our captains have introduced visitors to an array of nature’s secret wonders that can only be experienced in a Zodiac. The small group atmosphere of our expedition allows for a personal and intimate tour.

Only the Zodiacs can get close to the many lava tubes, sea caves, sea grottos and wave powered blow holes. You will learn how the island was formed as the Captains share their knowledge about the geology of the island’s lava flows.

Our destination is Kealakekua Bay, which is a National Marine Park and the site of the Captain Cook Monument. This area is one of Hawaii’s premier snorkel spots with incredible visibility and calm conditions. All snorkel gear, high quality silicone masks, Rx masks, fins, float boards and detailed instruction will be provided. Kealakekua Bay is full of Hawaiian history and the events will be recounted by the crew while you enjoy our tropical snack of fresh pineapple, fruits, chips, cookies and assortment of refreshing soft drinks.
