Will do it again!
Jeff_H, Sep 2023
Our guide Jason was awesome! So knowledgeable, easy to talk with, patient with walking us through kayaking & snorkeling tips! Just made it such a relaxing adventure. Got to spend as much time as we wanted snorkeling the amazing reef at Captain Cook. Great day!
Great kayak/snorkel/ecology/history tour
Daniel_H, May 2023
Really great experience. Kayaking over to the monument was beautiful and we saw plenty of dolphins. Once there I was absolutely stunned by the snorkeling. Incredible volume of sea life is right there. Our guide Jason was fantastic- super knowledgeable about the geology, plants, animals, history, area recs, pretty much anything we asked. Would definitely recommend this outing for anyone! Moderate physical abilities required, but you don’t really need prior paddling or snorkeling knowledge. Just do it!
Poorly planned and disorganized
Linda_A, Mar 2023
The tour started 2 hours late. The tour operator was unprepared and fell asleep while we snorkeled. The lunch and drinks were in coolers with no ice. Getting into and out of kayaks was very difficult at cement docks
Excellent!

No show
Karen_J, Apr 2022
What experience? Guide was a no show with no communication. Very disappointing to have planned and looked forward to this adventure only to wait for over an hour for no one to show up at office/meeting site.
Best Hawaiian Snorkel Adventure period
Sarah_W, Apr 2022
Awesome guide! So knowledgeable and experienced! A true Hawaiian experience guided by the King of Kealakekua Bay!!
Iwa and Rabbit treated us like Hawaiian royalty!
MaryBeth_H, Aug 2021
Our family of 6 enjoyed the 45 minute history and culture lesson at the start of the morning. Really put the day into context making it a richer experience. The paddle was nice across the bay. The snorkeling was fantastic! Brilliantly colored fish of all varieties and sizes everywhere. A lifetime memory for sure! Thank you Iwa and Rabbit!
Memorable and fun activity
Jose_S, Jul 2021
What an amazing time we had on this excursion. It was one of the highlights of our trip to the big island. We went with our two adult sons and we all enjoyed it equally. Iwa and Rabbit do a great job of narrating and giving the participants information about the island, history and traditions as well as making the whole experience fun. They are so very friendly and welcoming. We loved every minute of this activity.
Wonderful morning
Colleen_J, Jun 2021
From start to finish, Rabbit and Andrew were fantastic guides! Low tide and tidal surges made for interesting launches and returns, but, the guys helped us every step of the way! The snorkeling was amazing! Lunch was delicious too. Rabbit is quite the historian, lots of Hawaiian history was learned!
Amazing🤙🏼🤙🏼
River_T, Jun 2021
The tour guides were very knowledgeable about the area and the history of islands. Overall I think the snorkeling was my favorite part. It was just so amazing and beautiful to see all the natural coral and sea life at the preserve. If you get the opportunity to do this trip, DO IT. It was so worth it, money well spent.
Wonderful Kauai snorkel experience
Marc_D, Jun 2021
The captain was a true delight and his crew was so courteous and friendly. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and one of the highlights of our experience was when the captain had us go to the very front of the boat while he maneuvered the boat under a waterfall from the overhanging cliffs - we got doused and then kissed to the applause of all. The captain enhanced the whole experience with his knowledge of the island of Kauai and its historic culture.
