Captain Zodiac Raft Excursion Compare and choose your favorite package option below:

 

Kona Hawaii’s most experienced rafting company, Captain Zodiac Raft Expeditions established in 1974, invites you on an intimate journey to Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii’s finest marine preserve and the site of Captain Cook's Monument.

Departing from Honokohau Marina located 3 miles north of Kailua-Kona, your captain will entertain you with Hawaiian folklore and Kona history as you travel along the scenic Kona coast. Keep a lookout for Hawaii spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, manta rays, humpback whales (during the winter months) and other marine life that are often encountered on the expedition.

Explore lava tubes and sea caves as you travel the inaccessable shores and get the feeling of traveling back in time on this remote coastline. Marvel at the incredible geology as your captains entertain you with their narration and excite you with their skillful driving in rafts just like the Navy seals and the U.S. Coast Guard use.

The fleet of Rigid Hull Inflatable Zodiac vessels are 24 feet in length. They are powered by twin outboard motors and produce a quick moving and highly maneuverable ride. The rafts are perfect for exploring the shallow coves, sea caves and lava tubes located along this coastline.

Passengers sit on the side pontoons and each boat will hold up to 16 passengers.

These are the same boats utilized by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Navy Seals. These organizations use them because of their speed, handling and ability to "zip" in and out of the surf. All our vessels are U.S. Coast Guard certified and inspected yearly by the U. S. Coast Guard. All Captains are licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
