Excellent trip with this company. Highly recommend. Captain Cook bay on Kona is my new favorite snorkel spot. This beats Molokini hands down, which is sad to say as I loved Molokini; unfortunately Molokini is a shell of what it once was. Captain Cook bay is teaming with sea life, corals and a rich history that boat Captain Aidan shared with us. Great snacks and lunch provided and several stops for photos on the way back and looking for spinner dolphins. Highly recommend this excursion in Kona if this is all you can do.

very nice experience, professional and fun. u can hear lots of interesting info and enjoy snorkeling and jumping to the water we had a great time

We had the best time snorkeling! It was our very first time and we brought along our 7 and 5 year old! It wouldn’t have been as great or as memorable without Kiwami and Aiden. They took excellent care of us and our two young children. Kiwami was very attentive and assistive and Aiden was very knowledgeable and had us laughing and entertained from the moment we met. We will be back!

Very fun experience! My husband and I have been on a few other snorkeling trips, during previous visits, and this one was one of our favorites! The crew was awesome and we especially enjoyed the little tour of the cost line on our way back to the harbor.

Aiden was fantastic! We appreciated his friendly and informative approach. The fish were absolutely stunning and the ride back he took is by dolphins and other coastline we otherwise would have missed. The family had a blast and would go again!

This was an amazing experience. My wife, I, 17, 15 and 3 year old all had an amazing time. The wife and kids really enjoyed the snorkelinc. Was a bit worried at first for the setup but they give plenty of directions and tools to help make experience easy. Got to see a spot that inspired some Disney films. Learned some history of the island as well. Would definitely repeat and recommend!

The crew did a great job ensuring everyone had a enjoyable experience. Something for everyone. Whether you want to snorket, water fun like slide or jumping off the boat. Awesome balance of simple sight seeing along with some historical pieces to the trip. We saw dolphins before we even left the harbor. Experience was so good we booked a Manta Ray tour with them for the same evening.

Daniel_P

It was all so great. The crew was outstanding. They cared for everyone. The snorkeling was wonderful. The stops at the various covers with the different interest points was wonderful. The music choices were perfect.
