2-Hour Dolphin Watching and Double Reef with Snorkel in Hawaii
A2154WKrebeccao, Sep 2026
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.

Two Tank Morning Reef Dive and Snorkel
JJarvis73, Sep 2026
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!

FrancoisRobinet, Sep 2026
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.

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!

Highly recommend a day on the Kona Tradewind Catamaran Day Sail
The crew was very family-friendly, accommodating and funny. The captain was kind to stop when we approached a pod of spinner dolphins and what a show! There were plenty of yummy options to choose from to drink and eat. The music also offered a nice touch. It was a nice way to start my staycation.

Kona – 5 Hours Private Fishing Charter in Kailua-Kona
Ariyon_D, Aug 2026
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!
