Excellent Snorkeling Adventure - This was a great experience. The boat and equipment were great and the locations were excellent. I went because Captain Cook snorkeling was recommended to me, but their second location was even better. I didn't want to stop! The trip guide and captain were very professional and nice. They showed us some local history on the way back and were very knowledgeable about the area. They provided snacks, juice, and water. I would recommend this tour.

Dennis was an extremely... - Dennis was an extremely helpful and knowledgeable guide and captain of our small boat. The snorkeling in both places was magical! The ride out and back was exhilarating, but be prepared to hang on tight! On the way back, Dennis showed us several interesting locations along the shore and gave us great stories and historical context. He also provided great snacks which he had ready for us to eat each time we emerged from the water. Lots of snorkel time! A full hour at each location.

Best snorkeling trip on big island! - Incredible intimate tour, we got to really take our time in two different locations and the smaller boat was so much more fun than the large tour boats. On the way back you get to stop at a couple historical and interesting spots to learn new things. Will definitely book again next time we come to the big island.
