Best experience on the island - Hands down one of the coolest things we did on the island. The amount of dolphins we saw was incredible. The fish under the water were absolutely beautiful and the sea caves were really really cool. I love the little bit of history behind it as well. Rory and Khlayla were phenomenal

Snorkeling is one of the... - Snorkeling is one of the most magical and peaceful experiences you can have in the ocean. From the very first moment you put your face in the water, it feels like entering a completely different world — calm, colorful, and full of life.

Kona Snorkel tour - Easy and Relaxed vibe snorkel. Highly recomend. A fast trip to snorkel site. Knowledgable guides.captain Dave got us their safely and painlessly. If you want a casual ride with not a milllion lessons on safety and treating you as a dumb tourist then this is the tour for you. Snorkel site was awesome and lots of different fish to see. The visit to the caves on the way back was great too.

Beautiful Reef, Thoughtful Crew, and an Unforgettable Day at Kealakekua Bay - We had an amazing time on the midday snorkel tour at Kealakekua Bay. The crew was welcoming, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable in the water. The reef was stunning with crystal-clear water, vibrant coral, and tons of fish. The fresh pineapple after the swim was a perfect touch. We especially appreciated the thoughtful overview of the bay’s history and cultural significance at the end of the tour - it added so much depth to the experience. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Kona.

Snorkeling - Both tour guides were excellent, professional and knowledgeable about the history of the island. The water was unbelievably blue like I’ve never seen before. The fish were beautiful. I plan on doing it again!

A blast! - Rory is a great captain and super fun piloting of the boat. He and Lala made it relaxing, interesting and we had a blast! Better than the other tours we have taken to captain cook cove. Will book again

Action packed Adventure - Definitely the best trip to go on! Much more intimate experience than getting lost in a large group on of the larger boats. They were so helpful in accommodating everyone’s different levels of ability. Went on the 8am and we’re lucky enough to see whales!

Fun experience - The snorkeling was great! Saw dolphins and the caves on the way back. The boat was a dingy style so a bit rough when riding the waves. Great if you like that!
