Snorkeling Captain Cook Bay
Was a wonderful trip. The Captain was very knowledgeable and kept us all knowledgeable about safety etc. They said we were lucky because the ocean was very flat after the hurricane and the clearest it has been in a month. The snorkeling was amazing and we saw eels, trumpet fish, beautiful star fish and so much more and the water was so clear and warm. On our way back we saw spinner dolfins which was an extra bonus!

It’s as amazing as everyone says!
This was as amazing as everyone says! The crew got us in and out of the water safely! Was informative and we got to see a lot of manta rays mainly Kenzi, Janis and Santa Maria. They come so close and I got great videos. This truly is something you can only do on the bog island and I highly recommend. It started raining at the end of our snorkel session and that just added some magic.

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel
James_C, Sep 2026
Otherworldly experience!
Magical and exhilarating! We rebooked after water conditions canceled our earlier trip; water still had some rough chop so I definitely advise Dramamine or something similar beforehand if sea or motion sickness is a concern. Despite the conditions, Captain Bryce and crew Ryan and Noah not only commanded the ship with ease but also helped convince my nervous partner to swim out (after my attempts failed!) The mantas were beautiful and enchanting, and I only wish I could’ve stayed in the water longer.

Morning Magic Kayak and Snorkel Adventure in Kealakekua Bay
marisagZ7026FQ, Sep 2026
Amazing experience
This was truly an amazing experience. Evan and Logan were incredible guides, provided detailed history and knowledge. The kayak over was absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling was really great (even though the visibility wasn't that perfect from the previous storm). Highly recommend!The only thing I would note is that they asked about dietary restrictions of which I have a gluten intolerance, I was given a garden salad for lunch and unfortunately the fork was accidentally forgotten. I would suggest in the future sourcing a lettuce wrap (if gluten free bread / wraps are unavailable) similar to the sandwiches so its a more on par experience considered it was included in the price.
