The crew was outstanding, Book this trip because it was a sail boat. we were disappointed that there wasn’t enough win to sail.

Beautiful sail and snorkeling!

Wit_L, Mar 2024

This is an awesome trip! The captain and crew were all so accommodating and eager to please. The snorkeling was beautiful and we also stopped on the way back to see a lava tube and other points of interest. It was a bonus to see whales, bottle nose and spinner dolphins.

This trip was memorable...

Crew of the boat was very friendly and helpful. Lunch was very good and the experience could not be beat. Snorkeling and whale watching fantastic.

A must-do experience in Kona

Sara_N, Dec 2023

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Captain Tanner and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and service-oriented. We saw whales on the way, beautiful fish and coral reef while snorkeling, and had lovely food and beverages on the way back. Would recommend to anyone including families! A must-do experience in Kona.

Fantastic crew and trip

Alison_W, Nov 2023

We arrived at 745 for an 830 cruise. The rude over to the Captain cook monument. Here we got the opportunity to snorkel in the reef. The water was just a nice temperature for an hour snorkel. The reef fish were great and an hour was long enough to see plenty. On the way back we stopped at a lava tube and Hele rock formation. The crew were attentive for drinks, food , trash pick up. Lunch was sandwiches and salad. It was all very fresh. The only thing we didn’t get to see were Dolphins or Whales, but you can’t force nature to be there. Highly rated and thoroughly recommend

Fun in the sun

Guy_H, Nov 2023

The snorkeling was great saw variety of fish. The boat was nice, clean and many shaded areas to sit if too sunburned. The staff was excellent and attentive, checking on you and seeing if you needed more drinks or anything. They were helpful in water as well. Fresh breakfast and lunch. I would recommend them highly.

Fun filled snorkeling!

Chad_L, Aug 2023

Great views on the ride to Captain Cook. Snorkeling was beautiful! We saw some amazing fish and the reef. The crew was very friendly and took great care of us. Would definitely recommend for families.

Superior Experience

Susan_B, Aug 2023

While on the Big Island, we did three boat tours. This one was the best by far. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. We sailed right on time and were offered a light breakfast and beverages on our way to Kealakekua Bay. We were offered very clear instructions throughout the trip. The snorkeling was amazing. Take a Go Pro if you have one. On the return trip, they had lunch and beverages available. Alcoholic beverages were available for purchase. It was totally worth the money spent and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Free and Wild

Michelle_P, Jul 2023

Fun with good people and good food. Crew couldn't be any nicer or helpful. The boat is so much fun. The waves go through the net and get you cooled off. I would recommend this boat ride to all ages. Thanks for having me. Mahalo

Great!

Nicole_c, May 2023

Boat was even nicer than expected. The crew was awesome. Very relaxing experience even with many people aboard.

Excellent experience

Ken_F, Apr 2023

I found it a little confusing where to meet the group, but other than that, it was fabulous. The crew were happy, courteous, and eager to please. The snorkeling instructions were clear. And the served a great lunch. Very pleased.

Absolutely an AMAZING experience!!!! It was beautiful! Loved seeing the whales and dolphins while out on the boat!

A Flipper Good Time….

William_C, Feb 2023

The crew was great, very professional and attentive. The Grotto (lava tubes) side tour was also cool. Can’t beat the drink prices! Seeing the seal and whales were an extra bonus.
