It's fun learning with others at your level.

The Next Step Snorkeling Class is held in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Stay in oceanfront condos within walking distance of town, and next door to our first class session.

Seven days/6 nights. Arrive in Kona (KOA) by noon on the first day of class. Our first session is that afternoon. We'll have 1-2 classes each day. We'll take one full day or 2 half-days off for rest and sight-seeing. Arrive on the 5th day of the Snorkeling Beginning class to review snorkeling as they wind up, and to get started on your Next Step.

Your class may choose from among these activities and more: snorkeling cruises, snorkeling with (wild) manta rays at night, swimming with (wild) dolphins, sea-kayaking introduction, sea-kayaking day-trip, and snorkeling in tidepools.

To take the Next Step Snorkeling class, you only need to have taken our Beginning Snorkeling class.
