Amazing manta experience
Went with my 7 year old and neither of us is advanced swimmer or snorkeler, but the staff took good care of us throughout the tour. We spotted mantas two minutes into the water and they stayed around the whole time. The tour was well organized and they provided everything you’d need. Just bring yourself, plus a towel and a waterproof camera, and have a good time!

while an unexpected issue (hazardous fireworms) prevented us from going on the manta ray excursion - i am impressed by any operator who prioritizes safety over profit. they were straightforward and offered everyone a refund or opportunity to rebook.

Best Experience on the island
This experience was 100% worth every penny. 30 seconds in we had Mantas barrel rolling right in my face. They were almost too close to film. The all female crew was a dream team. Courtney, Alexis, Sara and Carmelle were amazing, attentive, fun and professional. We didn't have to do anything but enjoy!!

Kona Snorkeling Tour Small Group Marine Life Experience

Personalized amazing snorkeling adventure!
Wow! I can’t say enough about our experience with Sam, Brianna, and Cliff. Sam selected the perfect snorkeling spots, and Brianna was our own personal guide in the water, with a wide range of knowledge, while taking video. Cliff took some amazing photos of this truly personal experience. We loved the crew so much it felt like we were hanging out with friends. They have a top of the line boat and provide everything that you need. Much better than snorkeling with a large tour group of strangers.

Great crew and a great time!
We had a wonderful time on the tour! We found them through Costco and would recommend them to anyone.Captain Trevor with Diego and Tamae were a wonderful crew and made it such a great experience. The boat was clean and had nice shade on the ride back and forth to the snorkeling spot. They provided sodas, waters, snacks, and grilled hot dogs for lunch.Tamae even shared her photos and videos from the tour with us afterwards.Our family enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend booking them on your trip!

Great Experience!! Boat was clean, lots of shade if you wanted it and lots of deck space if you didn’t. Crew was amazing and knowledgable! Saw dolphins on the way to and from the bay and lots of beautiful fish while snorkeling. Complimentary snacks, soda, water and juice were plentiful! Cocktails for purchase after snorkeling were super yummy! Would definitely recommend!
