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.

Glow of the Deep: Night Snorkeling with Manta Rays
LyRae_S, Aug 2026

This is my third time seeing the manta rays, but the first time with this company in this location. It was a great night. The crew were great, upbeat and helpful, and the Manta Rays put on a fantastic show. The boat ride to and from the location was very enjoyable. I highly recommend. Two tips: bring a jacket to put on afterwards you will probably be cold. And if you have the slightest chance of being seasick, take Dramamine before the trip. A surprising amount of people get seasick bobbing in the water.

Second time paddle boarding
I had an amazing paddleboarding experience in Hawaii! As a total beginner, I was a bit nervous, but it was so easy to pick up. If you can do basic yoga moves like downward dog or a forward fold, you’ll be just fine. The beach was really calm, right by the showers near the Hiltons. The owner was amazing—so helpful and encouraging. It was definitely worth the experience. I never fell off once! I highly recommend just renting a board and going for it—no lesson needed!

6 Hour Private Charter in Kona

Fishing, snorkeling, dolphins and Great boat crew!
Our 6-hour charter with Ocean Kona Blue Boat Tours was the highlight of our Hawaii trip! Captain Kevin and Maddie were incredible—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, especially when one of our boys got a little seasick. Every one of us caught fish, the snorkeling was fantastic, and Maddie even found beautiful shells for the kids to take home. Lunch was delicious, and we got to watch a pod of dolphins while we ate-so cool! Kevin was upfront about the rougher seas that morning and offered to refund the trip if we weren't comfortable sailing, but he made the entire experience safe and memorable. They truly treated us like family and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time in Kona and on Maui. Our four boys are still talking about it!

Our trip was great! Our captain Stan and his crew were courteous professional and extremely attentive to everyone’s wishes! Food and drinks were great, the snorkel gear was clean and well maintained! We saw whales on our transit, and tons of fish while in the water. I would book this trip time and time again, highly recommend!

Amazing boat tour!
This boat tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The staff were super friendly (elayo and Kelly) welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. The views were absolutely stunning — crystal-clear water, beautiful scenery, and the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The guide shared interesting facts and stories that made the trip even more enjoyable. We even got some time to swim and take amazing photos! Everything was well-organized, safe, and so much fun. I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking for an incredible day on the water

Amazing private character with Kona coast boat tours!
Spent my birthday out on the boat with friends and family, and it honestly couldn’t have been better! The weather was perfect, the views were beautiful, and being surrounded by the people I love made it extra special. We laughed, swam, ate good food, and made memories I’ll never forget. Such a fun and relaxing way to celebrate another year! We decided to do a private charter. The crew elayo and kelly were amazing and so accommodating to our requests. 🌊🎉
