We were in Hawaii for a work function the week of Oct 20th and had the privilege to go on the rafting excursion. Captain Marco and co-Captain Shannon were absolutely wonderful!!! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! They went out of their way to make
sure we got to experience as much as possible from seeing dolphins to going to Red Hill. Captain Marco gave us a lot of info on the history of different places around the island and gave suggestions on places to go. I was a first time snorkeler and I felt safe the entire time. I would 100% recommend this adventure for everyone!!
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 tropical snacks provided before you head out again, exploring vast sea caves, lava tubes and the rugged beauty of the coastline.

I really enjoyed this snorkeling tour, especially Rick and Devante. They made sure we were always safe and comfortable with our surroundings. They even suggested I move to another location when I was snorkeling as I wouldn't see as much. Only they would know! They knew so much when we threw questions at them. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and ask for Rick and Devante. Thanks for a great adventure, gentleman!
