A fabulous small boat trip with more personalized than a big tour. Adam and Brendan were helpful with first tip snorkelers and provided extra support and encouragement. The quick geographical tour on the way back was interesting. The boat itself was a fun way to quickly speed to the snorkeling site.

We had a great trip with Sea Quest. We were on the cruise ship and decided to book with this company to snorkel at Captains Cook in the morning. We had to be the first ones off the ship to do this excursion. We love snorkeling at Captains cook. In addition on the way there we saw a manta ray, dolphins, a pod of whales and two hammerhead sharks. When we jumped in the water at Captains Cook there was a pod of dolphins swimming under the boat! We would definitely do a trip with this company again.

We were taken to two snorkel spots and both were fantastic with lots of beautiful fish. Some would give you the side eye to check you out but they were all good hosts. I wish I remembered the two guys that were the captains of the boat as they did an excellent job. It was a great and memorable day. I’d do it again when I come back!

Brendan and Skyler were amazing! They took the time to not only go over the snorkeling basics they also were knowledgeable about the island. We were able to see so many different fish. We were able to see dolphins in a few different spots. Definitely a must-do!

This excusion took us to one of the best snorkel spots we've ever been to. The water was crystal clear and we saw so many varieties of fish. Our guides were fantastic. They provided great equipment and were full of interesting information to share with the group. We even loved the boat ride out to the spot and on the way back, our guides took us to the caves along the shoreline. Don't miss this one - it was one of our favorites.

Our captain and first mate were awesome!! Our captain was funny and super knowledgeable of the area and explaining a first time snorkler how to snorkle. She took us to Captain Cooks and the reefs and fish were amazing. You had lots of time to enjoy and even come back to the boat for snacks. I would highly recommend this to a first timer and for families. They provide flotation vests which made it so nice to just float and not get worn out. On the way back, we toured the coast and she explained so much about the history and geography of the coast. It was an awesome experience!!!

The check-in and boarding process went smoothly, and our ride to the bay went well. Within a few minutes of arriving, we were in the water surrounded by coral and an abundance of marine wildlife. We enjoyed over an hour of snorkeling, then we re-boarded the boat for snacks and drinks while Captain Brendan gave us a tour of the bay. Darcy (first mate) saw to our every need. The trip back to the marina was also enjoyable, with Brendan making stops here & there to point out lava tubes, lava formations, cinder cones, and talk about the area in general (history, legends). I highly recommend this tour! Brendan and Darcy were fantastic guides!

Amazing snorkeling experience led by a fantastic crew: Darcy and Skyler! A couple of days before the tour I got a call from SeaQuest folks who wanted to check-in in case I had any questions. As a result, my end-to-end experience was seamless. Special kudos go to Darcy and Skyler! They not only helped our group along the way, but they also were knowledgeable about the area and very fun to spend time with! As a bonus, Skyler offered some pointers for local restaurants - thank you! I cannot recommend this experience (and the crew) highly enough! This is one of the best investments you can make while on the Big Island.

Perfect Snorkeling Adventure. We booked a snorkeling trip to Captain Cook Monument and were completely pleased. Our adventure started once we boarded the boat. We were given loads of historical information to start our journey and viewed beautiful sights. Once at the Cook Monument, we snorkeled at the reef for about an hour and a half. The reef held wondrous beauties, including; a baby sea turtle, beautiful fish, eels, lobsters, octopi, and other sea creatures. We boarded the vessel and were greeted with fresh fruit plates, local chip varieties, and Hawaiian juices. The snacks were refreshing and were perfect for replenishing our energy. We then took off to hear Hawaiian tales and see historical and natural sights. These sights included Hawaiian Cliff Burial Sites, Pele, the goddess of fire, and other beautiful canyons, bluffs, and creations. It was a wonderful trip full of education and fun for all ages!
