Kona Catamaran Snorkel Sail with Lunch

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.

The boat capt and guides (Colin, Dylan, and Jack) were friendly and welcoming and made sure everyone had a great time from showing up on the dock, in the water and back to land! They will be my first pick for any Kona diving trips in the future!

Wonderful Crew!
We went on the 4:30 snorkeling tour with Lucas and Captain David. Both were super knowledgeable and sweet. It was gorgeous, not crowded at all and beautiful to experience. It was wonderful. I would highly recommend and it was definitely worth the price. We are going to check out the food recommended by David next!!

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.

So good we went back & did it a 2nd time!
We went on this Kayak/Snorkel tour of Kealakekua Bay with Kona Boys years ago & loved it so much that we went again on this trip and took our kids with us. It's seriously one of the very best experiences we've had on the Big Island & the best snorkeling we've done anywhere so far.We were given a warm welcome & great instruction before heading down to the bay. At the bay, Evan was our guide...and he was excellent! He was friendly, gave great instruction, and made us all feel comfortable.Don't miss this one...and definitely book it with the Kona Boys...they are the BEST!

My 10-year old daughter and I did a surf lesson with Charles. He was amazing. She stood up on her very first wave! Can’t recommend highly enough for the quality of instruction and the experience. My daughter is hooked and immediately started talking about the next time we’ll go surfing!

One Tank Manta Night Dive and Snorkel
jgmow, Aug 2026
Hell yes 🙌
My friend booked the night Scuba and I booked the night Snorkel tour with Aquatic Life Divers in early August 2026. Our captain was Tara, our Dive Queen was Mary, and our Snorkel guide was Tara. They all did a wonderful job especially Mary who explained the safety and manta stuff clearly and loudly. Safety is #1 for me and they had EVERYTHING from pfd for poor swimmers to AED and flare guns covered! I went as a snorkeler and we held on to a paddleboard as a group but noticed other tour groups floated on some pool noodles. I am glad I did the paddleboard thing because there was less people bumping into and kicking me. Best of all, I got the most amazing UP CLOSE views of the mantas and a few fish too! My friend enjoyed it too but told me he wasn’t pleased when they wouldn’t let him rinse his snorkel gear in their freshwater buckets 🤦‍♂️. I liked they also offered extras including bean bags on the front of the boat deck 🙌, POG juice, and some snacks like rice krispy treats. We also got a very small cup of hot ginger tea at tour’s end. The waves can make the boat feel rocky so I got a bit dizzy at the end, but lying down on the bean bags really helped curb any vomitting. I did the snorkel with the sharks tour in Oahu too & that tour was way more dizzying despite me taking Dramamine. The manta rays tour, personally, was hands down better than the shark tour just cus the mantas brushed up against me and didn’t kill me. FYI: Remember to bring your own dry beach towel as they don’t provide them.
