The perfect start to our Hawaii trip!
An incredible experience! The guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. We loved kayaking and snorkeling - we saw so many fish and a couple of octopuses! Would definitely recommend the morning tour before it gets too hot or busy. A great price considering how long you get to snorkel, the delicious lunch, and the souvenir steel water bottles. They even let us keep our snorkel gear for the rest of the day and return it to their shop the next morning. The perfect start to our Hawaii trip!

Definitely a must do on Hawaii Island!
We had a phenomenal two reef snorkeling excursion. Seth was an amazing captain and guide! Snorkeling at both reefs was fantastic but exceptional at Honaunau Bay (Two Step Beach). We will do this again if we are lucky enough to travel back to the Big Island!

This snorkel experience was absolutely incredible! We got to spend so much time in the water, the views were gorgeous, and staff was funny and friendly. They even brought us along the coast line on our way back and provided us with some history of the landmarks we passed. It was the perfect amount of people on this boat, not crowded at all! Very much worth the money and perfect for all ages.

Great Time!
The captain and the guy hooking up our harnesses were both super nice and helped my older mother, who is anxious about heights, feel comfortable. We all had an amazing time parasailing! Also, our original reservation was canceled due to weather and they were good with communicating to help me reschedule during our vacation. Thank you!

Just book it!
Me and my boyfriend went on this tour and it was really enjoyable! From the communication on where to meet up, the ride out to the bay (our captain Koa was great!), snorkeling, and tour after was great! Lucas was also very nice and helpful if you needed anything. They cut up fresh pineapple as a snack and even handed out cold waters which was much needed. They had a great sense of humor and truly just wanted us to enjoy ourselves. I would do this again (and it’s a great price). Thank you so much for making our trip great!

Beautiful tour great guide
My experience on this tour with my fiancé was wonderful. Evan and Kona boys are some of the kindest people I’ve met. They took the time to give us some history on the area and food recommendations. Evan did a great job showing us the best spots to snorkel and we got to learn a lot about the land we were visiting. The early morning was beautiful and there was almost no one else there since we were able to get out on the water right on time.

We booked our manta ray trip last week and this was the most amazing experience ever! Our team we had on 8/19 was amazing. The crew and captain were awesome and we felt safe and taken care of the entire time. They communicated well and really made sure you had a great experience. I highly recommend booking with them for your next adventure.

Best experience of our trip!!!
It is 100% worth every penny and way better in person than you can even imagine!! The all woman dream team of Christine, Sara, Alexis and Carmelle were amazing, attentive, funny and professional. Loved every second of this experience. Manta Ray's were literally kissing us with 5 seconds of entering the water.

Easy to locate, even parking was easy. They had everything we needed and were very clear in where we were going and directions for our drop. The water was smooth and clear - great way to snorkel at Cook's monument. the earlier you pick up and go the better the water will be with fewer snorkelers in the water where a to of big tour companies go.
