I would do it again!
Great excursion. Staff were beyond friendly and also safety minded. Catamaran had good features (e.g., fresh water shower when done with snorkeling, easy in and out of water). We were lucky enough to see huge spotted ray and dolphins that breached the surface with a spiral spins. One of the crew did Hawaiian blessings in the sacred cove area, which was very interesting and educational.

Wonderful family afternoon snorkeling!
Great experience all around. Clean, good size vessel. Friendly, informative, kind crew. Nice light snacks. Perfect length of time. AWESOME snorkeling. Would highly recommend for anyone traveling in or near Kona. We went with our 17 and 14 yo daughters. Significant mix of people and easy going group.
Bathrooms on the vessel were very clean and comfortable.
Appreciated the crew - nice balance of knowledge, teamwork, engagement.

A snorkel sailing adventure to remember!
We loved our snorkeling/sailing experience! Beautiful boat, the staff on board were friendly, fun and attentive! The Captain was awesome on our trip too …weather was perfect for a little extra sailing on top of our Iguana and Captain Cook Snorkel stops. We saw so many different fish and coral especially at Captain Hook. Enjoyed the light breakfast, snacks and lunch too. Highly recommend!!!

Best day EVER!
Captain Rob and Bryce were both amazing. Loved hearing the history and stories along the way and getting an up close and personal look at the sea caves and lava tubes. We took the excursion that had two snorkeling experiences. The second experience was amazing with the two deep canyons and tons of fish and not a ton of people.

Absolutely stunning
It was like jumping in an aquarium or a scene in Finding Nemo. So many beautiful aquatic life to be seen. Two different spots did not disappoint. And the boat ride to the snorkel spots was just as beautiful and enjoyable. Absolutely amazing day of fun and sun.

What a fun experience!...
What a fun experience! The crew was fantastic, the amount of people on board was not to many and the Captain was superb. She actually cared and helped an older man feel more secure with exploring the water. Well done! The Mai Tias Denali made were yummy too! Would highly recommend.

Great afternoon on the water!
Lovely small sailboat - you are under power the entire way, but still a nice experience. On the trip, we saw whales, snorkeled by Captain Cook Monument, and on the way back, saw Pele “laying” Oceanside. Crew was very knowledgable and shared a lot of interesting information along the way. Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks were included and after snorkeling, alcohol was available for purchase.

Worth it!!!
Captain Patty and the crew are fabulous! We were hesitant to book so soon after the storms, but they made for a special morning. The snorkeling was much better than we anticipated with everything going on. The Hawaiian prayer chant was beautiful. Everyone was friendly, patient, and helpful. I will do this tour again.

We were very impressed...
We were very impressed with this outfit, the boat, crew, and meals provided. The crew were enthusiastic, helpful and had a lot of information to share about the island. We went to "Iguana" for our first snorkel which had interesting coral formations and few fish species. There were more and varied fish at the second site, Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Memorial. Overall, I would recommend this company and experience.

Definitely recommend when on the Big Island, near Kona
What a great experience! The boat is never overcrowded or packed to capacity, which demonstrates that this company wants you to have a great time! We appreciated their hospitality and friendly manner with every guest. The fresh fruit was a great healthy snack and the drink options were delicious! The boat itself is kept immaculately clean and the snorkel equipment was in like-new condition. Thank you to the whole crew for making us so comfortable during this experience, from start to finish.
