Traveler reviews
Great boat. Fun time. Good snorkeling.
I’m so glad we booked the bigger boat. Good decision for us. Gave us a great view, breezes, and bumpy adventure driving out to Cook’s. It was nice to have ladders to get into water. There was also a slide and diving platform that we took advantage of. The snorkeling was great! We saw a parrot fish, angel fish, eel, trumpet fish and many more names I don’t know. The captain and crew were fabulous, checking on folks, and serving up a good sandwich lunch after our swimming fun. The history tour portions were shared by the Captain and was good but might have been nice if a separate guide was sharing because people might have been able to pay attention to the bits of knowledge better.
We were not sure if we...
We were not sure if we wanted to do a snorkeling tour while on the Big Island but are really glad that we did! We had an enjoyable experience and even saw dolphins from the boat. There was ample time for snorkeling and felt very comfortable with the guidance provided. Lunch was yummy along with the snacks and drinks that were included!
The highlight of ourTrip to Hawaii!
We decided to charter off the ship and we couldn’t have been more pleased with that decision. They took us to an awesome snorkeling spot, saw dolphins and whales and did some swimming and diving.
Fun and entertaining
It was wonderful, we saw dolphins, sperm whales, and many tropical fish. The crew was very friendly and willing to help you. The food was very good and it was very entertaining. I recommend it 100%
Loved the Tour and the Snorkeling!
We had such a great time on this snorkeling tour. Aiden was our guide and we couldn't have hoped for anyone better. Very knowledgeable about boating, the area, the culture, and everything we were there to see, plus he has a great sense of humor! Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was as great as the literature says it is. After snorkeling, we were served yummy sandwiches and chips.
