An Unforgettable Snorkeling Experience – Thanks to the Incredible Crew at Sea Quest! - We recently went on a snorkeling tour with Sea Quest during our Hawaii trip, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our vacation. Although I know how to swim, I completely underestimated what it would be like in the open sea. The moment I got into the water, I felt overwhelmed and panicked. But what happened next truly defined the spirit of Sea Quest and their amazing team. A crew member named Taylor noticed my discomfort and immediately came to my aid. She stayed with me throughout the entire snorkeling session, gently encouraging me, tugging me along, and making sure I was comfortable and safe. More than that, she took the time to show me some beautiful underwater sights that I would have otherwise missed. Her calm presence, patience, and genuine care turned what could have been a frightening experience into something truly special. Taylor went above and beyond, and I am deeply grateful for her kindness. Because of her, I not only enjoyed the snorkeling but also gained a newfound confidence in the water. I will always remember this day and the people who made it so wonderful. Thank you, Sea Quest, and a special thank-you to Taylor – you made a lasting impression!

From the moment we stepped on the boat, they made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the adventure ahead. The captain was knowledgeable and friendly, and the entire crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone—especially the kids—had a great time. The snorkeling spots were stunning, and we saw so much beautiful marine life. The gear was clean and well-maintained, and the team was attentive to every detail. It was clear they truly love what they do, and that passion made all the difference. Thank you for creating such a fun and unforgettable day for our family. We’ll be talking about this trip for a long time—and we’ll definitely be back!

100% recommended! - We had an amazing time! The Captain and Eli were friendly and helpful. I was anxious about jumping in off the side of the boat, but It felt safe and guests were well-supported by the crew. We appreciated drinks, fresh fruit and snack's after returning to the boat. The view of caves and history along the way was an added bonus. We even saw a humpback fully breech (twice!) close to the boat!

Awesome snorkeling, whale and dolphin sightings! - We went on this 4 hour deluxe snorkel adventure after the one we booked with another company was canceled due to low number of people signed up. We were surprised that it was a small boat, but it was so much fun! There were 7 of us plus 2 crew. The crew was awesome, knowledgeable and took great care of us! On the way to the first spot we saw humpback whales and paused to watch them for a while. On the return trip we watched the spinner dolphins frolicking, which was also amazing!! Both places we snorkeled were beautiful, and we had everything we needed. My partner and I were considering canceling the day before, and were both so glad we went. It was the highlight of our time on the big island!!

Snorkeling on the Big Island - Great first time snorkel experience for my teen/tween kids. Captain Steve and crew Taylor were great! Lots of interesting information about our locations and history, threw in a few good hearted jokes to keep the kids listening. Also enjoyed getting up close to sea caves.

Great snorkel tours. - We did 3 different trips with SeaQuest. We did the night manta snorkel, the two step/Capt Cook snorkel, and the Capt Cook snorkel. All were great. The 3 different crews were wonderful. The night manta was spectacular. We saw 5-6 different mantas and they were doing barrel rolls right under us. Both day snorkel tours were great. We saw dolphins both times and even had them swimming under us at Capt. Cook. The boats were comfortable and they provided snacks on the way back on both day trips. Capt. Steve, Ariel, and Taylor took great care of us. Would highly recommend this company.
