We did the five hour trip, with 3 snorkeling locations along with sea cave viewings. First time at Kealakekua Bay, and it was amazing. Great job of pointing out features in sea caves and cliffs. But most amazing, saw two varieties of dolphins, pilot whales -- and while checking out whales, an white-tipped reef shark. As other reviews indicate, snorkeling... More

Fun boat ride to three different snorkeling bays, viewing of lava caves, five hours total. Crystal clear water for snorkeling in each cove. Saw dolphins, sea turtles, lots of beautiful fish, gorgeous colorful coral reefs. Fruit snack after first dive; delicious deli sandwiches and chips for lunch following the last dive. Water and juice with each. All gear was supplied... More

We did the Deluxe Morning Adventure on April 10. (Mum, Dad and 3 teenagers). The boat ride was not at all rough, and the crew were excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable and funny. We thought the snorkelling at Honaunau Bay (Place of Refuge) was great (and it was) but it was nothing compared to Kealakekua Bay (Capt. Cook Monument). The colours of... More

The captains were very nice and knowledgeable, snacks were yummy, saw lots of neat fish, the sea caves were cool and so were the lava tubes. We didn't see any whales or dolphins, but we saw white sand beaches, little black crabs, abalones, mini parrots and a sea turtle! The boat was a fun ride too! More

Went on the two site morning snorkel. We were concerned that the zodiac ride would be rough, however the ride was great and the zodiac took the waves well. The captain was entertaining. Due to the small sizer size of the boat (11 People) the captain and first mate learned all of our names and remember personal details about each... More

A boat captain of the Sea Quest not only swamped our sea kayak but proceeded to "bully" us out of each sea cave that we happened to approach -before- him. He passed an unsafe distance from my port side 10-15'.. and threw a 3-4ft wake over by stern / port side. As much as they'd like to think they own... More

We did the 5 hour, 3 spot snorkel tour. It was awesome. We saw some amazing fish and saw sea turtles too. The 3 sites were amazing and some of the best snorkeling we've done in Hawaii. We saw a pod of dolphins from a distance. Lunch was great with sandwiches, chips, fruit and chocolate. Everything was very professional and... More

We opted for the 3 hour trip which was a good amount of time. Captain Chris was funny, easy going and informative. The water was beautiful and the boat ride was fun. He took us up close to the lava tubes and we were lucky enough to see some dolphins on the way. Not too expensive and a lot of... More

We just took the 5 hour, 3 site snorkle trip and it was one of the the best we've ever taken. We have a family of five, with a 13 year old and 2 10 year olds, and we all loved it. The two captains were friendly, helpful and informative. I loved that it was a small group - 12... More

We just returned from the 5 hour tour and it was outstanding! 3 very different snorkel experiences including a stop at a black sand beach where we were able to swim to and enjoy briefly. Big sea turtles and crystal clear water at all locations! Captain Bill was really informative and had a great sense of humor. Very nice snacks... More
