Great snorkeling trip - What a great snorkeling trip! Captain Tanner and the crew did a great job making sure we had whatever we needed and that we also had a great time. I appreciated the crew being in the water with us while we snorkeled and checking to make sure we were doing ok. Very nice catamaran.

Grand kids had great time - We had a great time. We had our grandkids, 9 & 3, with us. We were excited for them but also nervous how they would handle the boat ride and snorkeling. Turns out they loved both. The crew was very nice to them. We had a great time

Kona snorkeling - The staff were very friendly and welcoming from check-in. Very organized on the boat and greet customer service. Light continental breakfast on the boat. The snorkeling was at Manini beaching the protected reef area. There were at least a dozen kinds of fish in the water and calm water. Once we left, we got lunch with a build your own sandwich, Posta salad, chips and drinks. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Would definitely go with them in the future.

Hospitality, Adventure, and Magical - This tour company is amazing! First off, they make you feel safe. I appreciate them keeping the tour fun, but still ensuring you understand that following the rules is imperative for your safety and to protect the reef. They guides are knowledgeable and go above and beyond. We did a morning tour and you get breakfast and lunch and non- alcoholic beverages. Alcohol for purchase is only $5! The lunch was sandwiches, chips and pasta salad. The snorkeling area was great, and the ride to the reef is beautiful. They make an extra couple of stops and it was a magical day. Highly recommend...our group was about 30 people so not too crowded, the boat was big and clean and even had 2 restrooms.
