What are people saying about Hawaii

Crystal_G, Apr 2026

Amazing experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely amazing experience! Vince, Justin & Jacob made sure everyone had a great time. Vince and Justin gave us some fun facts while in the water. They were very attentive to be sure if anyone wanted to get out & needed assistance, they were given an uber experience. We saw so many manta rays!! They were inches from our face and we were so mesmerized we stayed out until we had to get back on the boat. We even got to see a reef shark! I’m so glad I booked this! Make sure to bring cash to tip your crew as they definitely earn it!!

From Maalaea: Whale Watching Tour Aboard the Quicksilver

Elizabeth_C, Apr 2026

Amazing Day on the Water

It was a big and safe vessel first of all. The staff were very nice and informative and they had a photographer which I didn’t expect. The boat ride was amazing and we did see whales! And as a special extra you could buy the photos from your cruise which I did. I would highly recommend Quicksilver and they were the most affordable, Hawaii is expensive.

Sarah_H, Apr 2026

This tour was incredible!...

This tour was incredible! Lacey and Lexi were great and so knowledgeable! We went later in the season so we were hopeful to get at least few sightings but we were fortunate that Lacey found a group of males and blew all of our expectations away. Lexi gave us lots of insights to their behavior and you could tell the whole staff has such a passion for what they do. I definitely recommend booking this tour!

Kona Snorkel Tour: Captain Cook Reef Snorkel, Dolphin & Sea Caves

Jessica_J, Apr 2026

Must do experience while on the Big Island!

We had an amazing snorkeling trip to Captain Cook on the Big Island and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, David, went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing and memorable time. We went as a family with three of our kids, ages 11, 14, and 17, and it was something all of us truly enjoyed. The smiles, laughter, and excitement from our teens was the best part! The water was absolutely beautiful—clear, calm, and full of marine life. David was outstanding and took the time to explain different areas of the ocean as well as interesting details along the coastline, which made the trip both fun and educational for the kids and adults alike. After we finished snorkeling, we were treated to delicious, fresh pineapple, which was the perfect way to end our time in the water. It was such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. We were especially impressed with how conscious the crew was about protecting the reef. They clearly emphasized keeping the reef clean and untouched, which made us feel good about snorkeling responsibly and respecting the natural environment. Overall, this was a memorable experience for our whole family, and we would absolutely recommend this snorkel trip to anyone visiting the Big Island.

Read before you go!

Bring your own towels to dry. Bring waterproof filming equipment because it will get wet. Your face will get wet. Your hair will get wet. You are required to dive under water for a short amount of time. Only light snacks and water are provided on the boat. No place to change so you gotta already change first before getting onto the boat.

Oahu: Swim with Dolphins on the West Coast

Tonya_M, Feb 2026

Half day well spent!

Check in and safer briefings were smooth efficient and effective. Our gear was stored in baskets in the cabin of the catamaran boat and easy to access. The crew was fun and engaging and felt like close family towards each other. There were a couple captains, a couple swim safety persons, a couple crew and a photographer. We had 3 swims with progressively better sightings of dolphins, then were taken to a sea wall near the harbor for snorkeling. After the dolphins we had a snack of chips and water and an after the snorkeling a small delicious bento box with kalua pork and an another beverage odd water or juice. Very personable and friendly staff. Highly recommend the tour. Our teenaged mids loved it.

Luxury Snorkel Cruise, Local Buffet with Whale & Dolphin Watch

Karieanne_E, Feb 2026

Top excursion I’ve ever done (and I travel a lot)

Easily the best excursion we have ever done. Crew was amazing, food was awesome. We saw whales and 2 types of dolphins and that wasn’t even the snorkel part! The told us to get back on the boat but in that moment they saw an eagle ray and told me to get back in the water. I’ve never had a tour care as much about our experience. I cannot recommend enough. Get the photos!!! Tip the crew and book this excursion!
