Small boat = small group! Zodiac today was perfect for 2 stop snorkeling trips- both stops 1hr long had nice lots of sea life and corals. Also got bonus whales and spinner dolphins. CA Dennis was informative on the local lore
Join us to see the underwater beauty near Captain Cook's Monument and Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park. Usually, at this time of day, the waters of the Kona coast are crystal clear and offer great visibility. View over 100 different varieties of tropical fish along with an occasional reef shark or sea turtle. These lively snorkeling spots are home to a variety of marine life. Your Crew will teach you a little Hawaiian history along the way. As you cruise, you will enjoy spectacular views of Big Island's rugged coastline, along with views of sea caves and lava tubes. If you are lucky, you may spot a pod of dolphins or a whale, which can be found here year-round (humpback whale migration is seasonal!)

The snorkel trip was very enjoyable. Captain cook’s monument area had a large variety of fish. We got to see 5 whales as an extra bonus

It was very confusing to get to the check in location, because the name of the business was not mentioned. Then we had to drive ourselves to the harbor where the caption had to go get a different boat, because the one we had was defective. The snorkeling was beautiful, but one the way back one of the engines went out and it took us an hour and a half to get back to the harbor.

Wonderful. Robert and Bryce were exceptional. We had a blast. Saw a pod of whales. The weather was terrific

It was a great trip with amazing snorkeling! Bryce was a great guide along side Captain Rob. On the way back we were able to see beaked whales and a Humpback whale and her calf. A total bonus!!
