Sail in a small group on a very nice catamaran - we took the luxury catamaran sail and snorkel. The catamaran was the NO WIKI. It has 4 staterooms each with its own private head. The tour is just wit 6 passengers allowing for a more private sail. The Captain was Zander. He is very knowledgeable about the ocean and he handled the boat very well. The first mate was Nicole. She made sure we were all comfortable and we had any refreshment we wanted. She did this while attending to the sailing duties. Both Zander and Nicole made sure we enjoyed the sail and were a big factor in the rating. I would go with them on another sail. The sail included a light breakfast ( fresh fruit and a pastry). Later a lunch or a side salad and a turkey club was offered. The sail was from the Harbor to downtown Kona and then to a bay where the snorkel occurred for about an hour. I chose not to snorkel. The sail continued for about another hour and we returned to the Harbor. Both Zander and Nicole made sure any request was promptly served and I appreciated then sharing their insights. The tour is worth the price.

We had a great time on... - We had a great time on this tour! I was hoping to see dolphins, which we did! Snorkeling was very cool and it was nice that they provide everything for you. Lunch was a treat and they were able to accommodate my gluten-free request that I specified at booking! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get out on the water in Kona.

Excellent Catamaran Sail and Snorkel - Amazing Catamaran tour and snorkeling trip. The ship was beautiful and the service was amazing. The directions to the location were very specific and made it easy to find. We were treated like royalty and my husband and I would highly recommend and would tour again. The snorkeling also was wonderful and we had a great guide with us to help if we needed anything. Thank you for an amazing day!

Incredible crew and boat - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The crew is super knowledgable and outstanding. The boat is immaculate. The water was calm. We saw so many fish. The crew served us beverages after our snorkel and a late lunch. We highly recommend this boat and will definitely do this again next time we are on the big island . They offer pool noodles and the help you float while snorkeling, you wear a life jacket and they provide clean snorkeling masks and goggles.

Great catamaran ride and snorkle - This catamaran was amazing!!!!!!!!!! Captain Keith and Cesar took us to a great area for snorkeling. First fish spotted was humahumanukanukaapua'as and lots of yellow tangs. Cesar found an octopus. Beautiful reef just south of the airport. I thought we were going to Captain Cook's but the annual canoe races were being held in Kona. Not a lot of wind so didn't sail but got to tour the coast a bit and Keith showed us a lava tube on the shore! Highly recommend this trip out of Kona harbor.

Great trip - Great trip capitan Mike ran a great trip and was entertaining. Kyle was very helpful and helped this 85 year old man with snorkeling and a tow back to the ship. We only had two couples on the trip designed for over forty with individual attention. The mitais drinks and sandwiches were great. Recommend this trip highly
