Fun snorkeling tour!! - Chip and Captain Mark were great hosts! Gave careful safety presentations, and a very fun, fast and bumpy ride to the bay. Lots of very cool fish there. We snorkeled for an hour then were treated to fresh pineapple. On the way back we stopped at a couple bays and Chip told us some interesting stories and Hawaiian history. Highly recommend this tour!!

Just book it! - Don’t hesitate to book this excursion. Capt. Rory and Kaleila made us feel so comfortable on our Captain Cook excursion that we booked the 9pm Manta Ray snorkel the next day. Both excursions did not disappoint! So many fish and Manta’s. We didn’t feel hurried and truly had the best time. The boat is a very fun ride. Quick, nimble, comfortable, and secure. Just book it. :)

Our Favorite Vacation Experience - Deavon and Captain Shaka were awesome tour guides and snorkel hosts. They were knowledgeable about island history and great snorkeling guides. The snorkeling is the best at Kealakekua Bay. Well worth the price of the ticket.

No dolphins, no turtles,... - No dolphins, no turtles, only small fish. Visiting some caves and the captain telling the history of each was what we take from this experience.
