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.

Spinning dolphins
We first did the Manta Ray night snorkel with this charter and loved it so much we booked a Dolphin Watching and 2 reef snorkel. It was just us 5 so we had a great time and Brian was very knowledgeable. We would have had a great time even if the boat was full which held 10 guests. The 2 reefs were excellent. The boating community is very close and help each other out. We were next to a scuba charter and they told Brian which reefs were good that day. Brian told us about the different types of dolphins and we saw a large group of dolphins with babies! They were jumping and spinning. It was amazing.

Great day fishing in Kona
Awesome day with RJ and his crew on Bite Me 6 on a shared 4 hr trip. Brought in a yellow tail tuna. After getting back to the harbor they carved it up and sent everyone home with instructions to make sashimi or grill. Would def do again.

Tight lines!
Had a great day out on the water with Captain RJ, Cam, and the rest of our group. It was a little rough out there due to the recent storms, but felt well taken care of. Managed to hook into a nice yellowfin tuna, which was harvested and shared with everyone. Remember folks, it’s called fishing, not catching!

Awesome dolphin watching and snorkeling adventure!
We actually had to reschedule and wound up going on the Captain cook tour instead. It was so fun and the crew was amazing! The dolphin watching and snorkeling were awesome! We had three kids (3.5 and 7) with us and they had a great time. Highly recommend!

4-Hour Kona Private Charter
Johannah_B, Aug 2026
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.

Extremely knowledgeable captain and guide. Our all female crew was so engaging and did a fantastic job explaining to us the Captain Cook story and pointing out anll of the incredible sea life.

We have a phenomenal day...
We have a phenomenal day out with Dean and Clayton on the Ms Conduct boat! We were notified in advance that the fishing season has been slow so far and that ended up being the case for our trip out in the water. This did not take away from the experience at all though as Dean and Clayton were very knowledgeable and hospitable! The weather was great and the sky mixed with the deep blue water will be something we will remember always!

Best. Day. Of. My. Life.
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!!🌸☀️💕

Family Snorkel Day!
A wonderful charter experience that was easy going and supplied everything we needed so was stress free Led by Captain Mitch and Riley as guide. The 10 person boat was great to avoid crowds and get in and out of site with ease. We had one family member not comfortable with the ocean/snorkleing but the guide and captain made her uncomfortable with the experience she was in the water the entire time! We saw beautiful coral reefs and a multitude of fosh along with spinner dolphins chasing our wake. The captain and guide were top notch and very knowledgeable about the marine life and history of Hawaii. Can’t wait to call them and book next trip to the Big island.

Awesome experience, learning some outrigger basics and paddling out on the bay. Grant was a pleasure to speak with just in general (especially about my Ironman experience). My wife sat in front, controlling the pace, and even jumped in the water briefly at our turn around spot. I'd recommend Kona Boys as your Go-to for the paddling experience.
