Very fun excursion! Captain Marco was super informative. Can't beat the small boat with limited people to really give you that personal experience. 10/10 recommend!

Skim across the waves on an exciting Big Island Zodiac tour to Kealakekua Bay, site of the Captain Cook monument and Hawaii's finest marine sanctuary. Snorkel with a rainbow of tropical fish among beautiful coral gardens in the bay's clear, crystal waters. Enjoy the delightful picnic snack provided before you head out again. Our Zodiac rafts allow us to hug the shoreline and get into areas where other boats can't. Join us to explore vast sea caves, lava tubes and the rugged beauty of the coastline.

Caveat emptor. Booked well in advance but the day before they messaged that due to ‘staffing issues’ they had to cancel. They did try to accommodate us on other dates but there were no opportunities for us to participate. As a result we missed our chance to snorkel on our vacation.

Fantastic ride out to our snorkeling spot. We had a great time with Marco and Fatsu (sp) They were excellent hosts. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. The snorkeling was incredible. This definitely was one of our highlights of the trip. I would highly recommend this tour and these hosts.

I love the Zodiac speed boat, so exhilrating! We were arrived at Kealakekua bay when tours were leaving and before the afternoon tours arrived, which gave me ample space to snorkel without crashing into people. The BEST place to snorkel, clear water, hundreds of fish. Captain and crew , very attentive, kept us all safe. Excellent lunch, what more could you ask? I had to go Solo due to family with sea sickness and back issues. No worries if you're by yourself.
