Manta Ray Night Snorkel Experience of a Lifetime
Vasil_Y, Sep 2026
Good experience, nice people
That’s definitely the experience that is worth the visit. The experience is the same like the other companies, just better price. The crew was awesome, Trevor and the other two guys had a great sense of humor and were pretty helpful of giving us more info about the island and everything we should know.

Captain Cook Reef Snorkeling of Kealakekua Bay
Frankie65, Sep 2026
Pick This One!
Great crew and boat. This boat has a roof over the seating, providing shade when the sun is beating down as well as a flush toilet on board! Snorkel gear was in great condition. Lunch consisted of nice sandwiches and fresh pineapple. Snacks and beverages were available throughout the day. Most importantly, saw a variety of fish while snorkeling. Crew also took photos of us for us.

2 Hour Big Island Reef Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Tour
rocking2babies, Sep 2026
Family Snorkel
One of the top experiences we wanted to do on our trip was to go snorkeling. We had a party of 7 and chose to go on a 2 pm start time. The staff was pretty friendly. We got to see some dolphins on our ride to the snorkeling area. The boat ride was pretty short and we had a lovely view. As we were snorkeling our guides were very attentive to make sure we didn't need help with mask or any other problems. The water was so clear and we got to see lots of different types of fish. I wish we had a go pro to take pictures underwater. One of the family was timid on joining us in the water as this was their first time. One of the guides was able to ease their mind and they soon joined in as well. Overall I would book again given the chance.

Sunset, Manta Ray Snorkel Trip
Amazing trip! Sunset was beautiful! The guides and crew were very knowledgeable and explained in detail what we were going to do and see while we were snorkeling with the Manta Rays! Our guide explained what the Manta Rays would be doing and added some interesting facts and information about the Manta Rays too. Highly recommend this amazing experience!

Sunset Manta Ray Tour in Kailua-Kona
A2154WKrebeccao, Sep 2026
Best excursion ever!
This was the best excursion of the entire trip. We picked this one because it was a small group and locally owned. Dustin and Bobby were excellent. With it being a small group Bobby was able to move us around to where the Manta Rays were. The larger groups that were there only stayed in one spot. The videos that Bobby took were amazing and downloaded to us as soon as we got back at no additional cost! They provided us with snacks and hot chocolate when we were finished. Much appreciated. Anyone visiting the Big Island must do this. It was so great we booked a day snorkel while we were there with the same charter.

Thrilling swimming with manta rays
The excursion was thrilling! I was a little apprehensive beforehand, but the description on their website is spot on, and the guides made us comfortable. It is something anyone can and should experience! They provided great info on manta rays. The snorkel was incredible. We saw four large manta rays that swam right under our bellies! The boat ride during sunset was also beautiful.

Loved it!!!!
What a great experience!! The water was warm, the ocean was fairly calm, and we got to see mantas VERY close up! We also saw a few sharks, which was cool too. Definitely worth the money and the only way I’d get in the ocean at night.

Kealakekua Bay Captain Cook Snorkel Exclusive

A 10/10 day with the family.
Without a doubt, highly recommended. Everything very well organized and explained. They gave us an upgrade, I imagine due to their logistics. Captain Kai and Ally were super attentive at all times. Very beautiful views and two stops for snorkeling. Duration about 4 hours. We would definitely repeat with them. 100% reliable, booking and payment. Once you make the payment, they send you the email with all the information, meeting place, timings, etc. For those of us who wear prescription glasses and do not use contact lenses, they have also planned for that!! In fact, when I finished, I bought them; they worked great, as they offer several prescriptions. A 10/10 day, thank you very much!!

Beautiful day on the water – dolphins, great crew, small group!
My son and I had such a wonderful time on this trip. Riding the fast zodiac boat was exciting and my 10-year-old absolutely loved it. Right at the start we spotted a family of dolphins, and then again at the end – such a special moment! The crew was incredibly friendly, warm, and entertaining, and we felt really well looked after the whole time. Everything ran smoothly and in a relaxed way. Small group, no stress, no crowds – just a beautiful, easygoing experience on the ocean. Highly recommend! Mahalo! 🐬

Amazing Captain and crew
Captain Bee and crew were great. On our way out she spotted some spinner dolphins and stopped to give everyone a chance to see them jumping out of the water. The snorkeling was great. As a bonus a manta ray was spotted on our return. Would recommend SeaQuest again.
