Great trip! - Nic was a great guy. He's really good at it. It was a great trip. The snorkeling spot was great. Lots of colorful fish and corals. The trip there and back were even better than the snorkeling. We went over the sea at speed with great music. Highly recommended!!!!

Captain Erik’s snorkel tour - Captain Erik was great. He’s very laid back and played great tunes on the fast ride out to the site. He was knowledgeable and cared about preserving the environment and ecosystem. Did I mention the boat ride was fast? You need to be ready for wind, waves, and a little spray while you hold on with both hands. It was fun but would be too much for my grand parents.

Fun tour with music and dolphins - Crew expertly invited the dolphins we saw to swim through our wake. The music was great and the view of the coral reef underwater was spectacular. There was a collegial feeling among crew and customers that was delightful. We would recommend this experience to anyone and hope to do it again.

Fun ride and beautiful snorkeling - Very fun boat ride out to the bay! We did see dolphins up close from the boat. On the way back we tucked along the coast and saw the caves. Boat ride was fast and not for someone wanting a smooth ride over.

Choose another company for the Kealakekua Bay snorkeling. - Guide was not even a little professional, and on the way back, he thought he hit an animal with the boat, but "didn't want to go back and see." Absolutely ruined the experience. Book with another company and you're almost guaranteed to have a better experience.

I would recommend going with a larger company. - The guides were not personable at all. Only talked with a few from our group. They drove the boat super fast and didn’t let us enjoy the scenery. It was like they were racing to get there and back. We were only with them for two hours. The snorkeling was OK.
