Beautiful Kona coast vistas, attentive staff, delicious dinner and Sunset!
We enjoyed every minute of this dinner cruise! We left the Kailua Kona pier and several Dolphins swam near us which was a wonderful start. We followed the coast with a local guide describing the places along the shore. We also had a musician providing lovely Hawaiian music. Dinner included a salad, followed by Chicken, mashed potatoes, greens and a roll. Finally, a delicious cheesecake for dessert. We saw a beautiful sunset as we were heading back to the pier. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the cruise. This trip was amazing and one of the best things to do when visiting the island of Hawaii!

Funnest snorkel trip ever
What an amazing fun day. The crew were friendly and took us to 2 awesome snorkeling spots. They also shared the history and facts about where we were. Captain Ed, Joshua and please forgive me, I can’t remember the woman’s name. A local and it started with K. She was so nice and helpful. I recommend 100%

Really nice day on the Sea Paradise Catamaran
An absolutely awesome snorkel/catamaran trip. The crew was amazing (Captain Jon and Crew Beau, Taylor, Austin, and I unfortunately forgot the name of the fourth one, a pleasant young lady). Along the way and back they take turns giving you the Hawaiian history of the sacred locations along the shore and what occurred there hundreds of years ago amongst the native Hawaiians and with Captain Cook. The two snorkel spots were teeming with fish. The crew were steady (but not overwhelming) in offering snacks and drinks, and turning on the showers for you after coming in from snorkeling. Captain Jon was either good (or lucky, LOL) in finding pods of spinner dolphins for us to watch. Lunch during the ride back was also pleasant. A nice sandwich bar. The staff assisted me in making a Hawaiian tuna wrap!

Manta Ray Night Snorkel Adventure

Coolest thing on big island
This manta ray tour was easily the coolest thing I’ve done during my time in Hawaii. I went solo, but the entire crew made me feel welcome and safe from start to finish.Our guide, Meredith, was incredible. She was fantastic with the kids from other families on board, explaining all the safety rules and instructions so clearly that everyone could understand easily. She is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a mini-lesson about the mantas using a book, along with tons of interesting ocean facts. She also made sure no one was intimidated by the size of the mantas, and whenever anyone in the water needed a hand, she was quick to assist. Captain Raj was also great, super friendly, welcoming, and helpful to everyone on board. The actual "show" was mind-blowing; we saw so many massive manta rays swimming right up to us. It’s hard to put into words how majestic they are. To top it all off, the boat ride back under a massive blanket of stars was a sight in itself. Huge mahalo to Raj and Meredith for an unforgettable night!

Amazing Crew and Mantas
Best tour I have been on in a while!! The Mantas were beautiful and so majestic. Meredith and Scott were amazing! I really appreciate how knowledgeable Meredith was, and it was amazing having a real marine biologist giving us the facts. I really enjoyed every minute and hope to come back next year.

Friendly captain and crew
We are a family ranging from 4 to 73 y/o. We enjoyed the boat ride although sitting for awhile in a bumpy ride is not so comfortable still we had fun. Captain and crew were very friendly and informative. We saw a lot if dolphins and fishes while snorkeling at captain cook. We wish we even had more time snorkeling. My niece 6 y/o and nephew 4 y/o was their first time snorkeling and they were experts right away. I was kinda scared for them going into the water but they actually had the most fun. There was enough lunch and snacks and drinks for our family. We even brought home the leftovers. It’s also easy to find the location and once you book, you just show up and they were really nice. They even gave us sun screen to use. Also everything is provided for the snorkeling.

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! My boyfriend and I went out for the 7 am tour (HIGHLY recommend the early slot, we were literally the only people out on the water!!) with Hana and Meredith who were absolutely AMAZING!! Since we got out before all the other tours, we saw an eagle ray, a Galapagos shark, two octopi, AND A SEA TURYLE!! It was quite literally the most glorious day of my life and Hana and Meredith could not have been better guides. If/when we come back, we will most definitely be booking w Kona again!!🌸☀️💕
