“It was a great experience. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed it. We took our son on this trip for his birthday. He said it was one of the best birthday presents he had ever had. He was visiting the big island from Colorado.”

“The "Portland D's" David and Danielle were great. David was incredibly knowledgeable of the area with regards to both history and natural habitat. The snorkeling was really good at Kealakekua Bay. Would highly recommend this tour as we also found it a better value than a lot of other activities on the island.”

“Un unforgettable experience. Everything was perfect: music, food, and the detailed history of the island:”

“A terrific and fun day! Capt. Jon and crew run a very safe and informative excursion. He packs the day with very interesting historical facts as the boat is on its way out. His crew provides very delicious and sustainable breakfast and lunch. His crew goes overboard, see what I did there, for your comfort and safety.”

“We had a great time yesterday snorkeling! It was a scenic, smooth ride to the snorkel spot. They did a really nice ceremonial moment to honor the history and culture of the area, and even included our little man in it (I’m 24 weeks pregnant!) We saw some beautiful fish and had the perfect amount of time snorkeling. Then we had a great, easy ride back with some snacks and drinks. I couldn’t recommend this tour more!”

“My spouse and I booked this activity for our first trip to Hawaii's Big Island. We had a great time and the crew is awesome! It was the perfect size group (around 24 folks) and there is a lot to do and see on Big Island, so the half day worked great.”

“Great snorkel spot, experienced and friendly staff. Captain was nice and we had a great time. The staff was very helpful and made sure we were taken care of.”

“We had booked another snorkel tour to just captain cook and not enough people signed up so we were able to get upgraded to this tour and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We were taken to two different snorkeling spots and saw tons of fish! On the way back the captain took us to a few additional spots and gave us some history about the island, which was a nice little added bonus. We also were able to see a pod of dolphins swimming on our way back to shore. My family and I loved it!”

“This is our second time taking this snorkeling experience and it is excellent! Great staff, amazing boat, wonderful lunch, and good snorkeling sites. Will do it again when we’re back on Big Island. Very professional!”

“My trip was canceled and was disappointed. Last minute cancelation left us scrambling to find something to do on our last day here”

“Superb crew! I don’t remember names but the woman who did natural and cultural history on the trip was spectacular. The boat is almost new and pristine. The snorkel equipment is new and properly cleaned. Captain’s two snorkel stop itinerary allows a quieter part before Captain Cook site. Everything was really fantastic.”

“Jason and Liza were great. We loved that there were fewer people on this snorkel trip than other boats we saw and we got to the site earlier so we had some time before the crowds. Jason also made a few stops on the way back to point out some sites of interest and give a little info on history and culture. Definitely recommend!”

“The crew was super. Very friendly and seemed genuine, not putting on a show, just friendly and real. Great snorkeling. We chose three hours and wished we had chosen 4. Considering going again tomorrow for more. Great equipment too. They used higher end gear which makes a big difference.”

“Dennis and Eve were great. Captain Cook snorkeling location was great. Water crystal clear and abundance of fish. Location was a bit crowded but if was able to steer clear of snorkelers and find lots of uncrowded snorkeling spots”

“The crew were great! They were enjoyable, helpful and fun to be with. They seemed to enjoy doing the tour and we will take this tour if we ever come back to this Island.”
