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.

Kona Manta Night Snorkel: Swim with Mantas, Small Group (6 max)
jamesbJ9317DM, Aug 2026
Amazing experience!!
My wife and I can honestly say that this was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. The staff was highly professional and communicative, both in and out of the water. Riley - our in-water staff - answered a ton of my questions and was always educating us on the Mantas. The Mantas themselves were awe-inspiring, and it is something we will never forget. If you can put this in your travel plans you won't be disappointed!!!

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!

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!

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!
