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.

Top notch dive company!!!
Aquatic Life Divers offers a fantastic experience! I’ve now dove with them several times and have also dove with other companies on BI. ALD is by far the best experience. The boat is easy to board and de-board. It’s quite comfortable with a lot of amenities. The dive gear is top of the line and very well maintained. Where ALD really shines though is the staff. They go above and beyond to make the trip a memorable experience. I highly recommend them for both diving and private charters.

Day boat ride
Unfortunately our trip was canceled while on the water due to a technical issue with the boat so we weren’t able to snorkel , however the time we spent on the boat was amazing. Crew were friendly and there weren’t many passengers which felt like we had the whole boat to ourselves. If I could have rebooked, I would have.

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!

Best diving experience
I am an active divers with more than 500 dives and all my family dives with me. We went diving in Kona, Hawai with Aquatic Life Divers and it was the best experience ever we had with a diving center. Excellent dives, with a lot of variety and various level of difficulty. Very good service, very competent and friendly team (instructor, DiveMaster, captain, admin…). The boats are very comfortable and the equipment is top tier. Don’t miss the night dive Manta Ray dive, which is not a difficult dive, but a very spectacular one.

It was truly amazing! So many giant beautiful manta rays came so close to us right away. There was so much other sea life, including dolphins! Captain Dylan and crewmen Elio and Bailey were fantastic, very friendly and informative. It was a lovely stress free experience!

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! 🐬

Great for families!
I brought my 3 y/o with me, who was nervous about swimming in the ocean, but all the staff were so friendly and the boat was so comfortable he was ready to jump right in at snorkle time! Tyler, Lane, Gale and Captain Tim were very attentive to all the guests and created a wonderful experience for us. We will definitely book another tour!

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!
