A beautiful snorkel area - This was a great snorkel adventure. I have never seen such a great variety of fish. It was nice to have our captain comment on sights along the coast on the way back to the dock.

Great excursion - Great excursion. Great spots. Just the right amount of time to enjoy everything. Pick up would be good to offer for thr future. It was a hassel getting a Ride to the place from hotel.

Fantastic Morning out Snorkeling - Had a fantastic time out on their morning snorkeling trip. Booked directly on site with them and from the booking process right through to the actual trip it was fantastic. A very nice team that run the tour and are obviously enjoying their jobs and interactions with their customers. Would highly recommend them above some of the other tour companies that run bigger catamaran style trips out of Kona.

Great snorkeling in Kona - The snorkeling was amazing at both sites--very clear water and lots of marine life to see. Brendan and MJ were our crew, and they took great care of the 9 guests on our trip. The boat was comfortable and did not feel crowded; it had a locker to keep our personal belongings dry, and drinks and snacks were provided. Traveling along the coast to and from the snorkel sites, we got up-close views of several sea caves and other interesting sites. Overall I would definitely recommend!

A once in a lifetime experience! - This snorkeling trip was amazing and easily the best I've ever been on (I've done a few while visiting other Hawaiian islands). Our captain Brenden was knowledgeable and entertaining and he helped make our experience the best it could be. We saw something like 13 whales (!!!) over the course of the morning and also got to see three manta rays swimming by. Brenden was super flexible about slowing down and circling back to give us a chance to enjoy seeing all the wildlife. Even with all that we still had plenty of time to snorkel and the two spots we went to were beautiful. We saw a ton of fish, a turtle, and an octopus. We even heard the whales singing to each other from underwater. Truly a once in a lifetime trip. Thank you Brenden and Kalea!

The Snorkel Adventure You Must Do! - Looking for an adventure? How about seeing beautiful tropical fish and underwater landscaped coral? How about looking through crystal clear water? I was looking for an adventure that could allow me to snorkel and actually see sea life. The Big Island is a magical place for sea sports and a really different experience for the better. I live in Oahu and many of the popular places are inundated with polluted sunscreen and oils that muck up the beaches. It's very sad to see the effects these products do to marine life and growth. Fortunately, the best way to see coral life blossoming is to visit the Big Island and go on a valid tour that will bring you to these places. To finally see the vitality and variety of fish was so satisfying I wanted to stay longer. With the help of Hawaii Activities the travel agent helped me book a tour with Sea Quest Hawaii, I was excited. The day before SQH called me to confirm and mentioned lunch selection choices. Nice! Food and snorkeling wow! Arrived the following morning after a nice drive along the coast to the facilities. Met the front host Marlene I believe is her name. Super friendly with a beautiful smile. She gave me instructions and assurances about the trip. A total of about 10 people came aboard our boat with a capable and professional captain. Everyone was very informed by the captain as well as the crew about the environment landscape landmarks fish life and precautions. The first stop gave me goose bumps because I was nervous. Never been this far out from shore. Once in the water, my eyes opened up to some of the most beautiful underworld I've ever seen. I've seen YouTube of many places that I wished I could experience but now I was looking at it. Luckily, I had a Insta360 camera to record video. Bring a camera! Perfect day, perfect conditions, crystal water, amazing fish and healthy coral formations. So if you are ever deciding to go on a snorkel tour, I would highly recommend Sea Quest Hawaii!

Worth the price! - We did the Manta night dive and the morning snorkeling tour with Sea Quest. We went with MJ and Kim in the water on the night dive. We were all super nervous but with good jokes and friendly competent guides, we all got in the water and pretty quickly forgot all our fears when the mantas arrived! It was amazing. 2 of our kids did get sea sick even with calm water and had to go back to the boat but they did get some time in with the mantas. Our morning snorkel tour was with Brendan and Kalia. The first spot was ok, but the second at the captain cook monument was incredible. Brendan was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide and we got some whale watching done on the side! I will say, for our party of 5, these tours get very pricey but it was worth it and I would highly recommend. No regrets whatsoever, worth the money!

Great experience and awesome crew - We were a family of 4 (with 2 kids). The experience was outstanding. The crew of Kaitlin and the captain (whose name I don't recall) were super welcoming. We were first time snorkelers and Kaitlin patiently helped us through the process. Besides, the whale sighting was quite good. The entire trip was peppered with historical insights which made the journey special. Would highly recommend this tour.

It was great being on a... - It was great being on a small vessel which allowed us to get closer to the shore to view sea caves and arches.

A great time! - Captain Steven and Darcy were so nice and accommodating. Snacks, water, and gear all provided. This was a calmer boat ride but I took Dramamine the night before and morning of and the sea was a lot flatter. The tour is absolutely great with a lot of views of lava tubes and caves made by years of erosion. The only sad part was that we only saw one small sea turtle, no dolphins but the fish and eels were all out!
