Staff was incredible! Boat was clean, equipment was top tier, snacks and drinks were awesome. And the snorkeling was SO great. Our kids’ first snorkel boat experience and it was perfect. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour! Hubby and I were on the big island to celebrate our anniversary and booked this on a whim. Had a blast and really good snorkeling! Shout out to Ashton the coolest crew member/bartender!

Diane_L

Crew was fantastic!! They told us everything and was very informative. The crew brings on fruit, snacks and water/soft drinks for free. Liquor drinks were for a charge. They made sure we all stayed in safe areas. Would highly recommend!!!

This was one of the most memorable experiences for us. The snorkelling site was really amazing and the crew gave us ample time to enjoy. The way they prayed before letting us go out and snorkel and the way they explained each and every aspect of it as we sailed towards the monument made it a wholesome experience. We had little to no experience with swimming and were a bit concerned initially, but one of the life guards on board has worked with us to make us feel calm and relaxed and really made our experience truly amazing. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Kona.

The crew was fantastic and encouraging as I was a bit Leary of snorkeling. The history they provided on the area we snorkeled in was extremely interesting. I want to go again!

Curious734397

This was an amazing experience for me and my family! Everyone agrees it's one of our favorite things we did during our visit to the Big Island. The crew was incredible, very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and they made my kids (7 and 11) feel very comfortable snorkeling for the first time. The ride out and back was relaxing, and the snorkeling was fantastic. If you pick one company to do a snorkeling excursion with, make it this one!
