Breathtaking tour! - Had a great time on the super raft with Captain Erica, Kyler and Caden! We booked the trip through the Norwegian Cruise Pride of America and it completely blew our expectations away. The ride was so much fun and the crew was super helpful and knowledgeable on the history and area. The amount of wildlife was so cool to see, and for those who are comfortable, it has a crazy drop that you can dive down and swim back up the drop along the coral! Definitely one of the best snorkeling trips we've done in a while and will be back on our next trip.

Super raft snorkeling in Kona is super. - We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkel trip on the super raft. The boat holds about 20 people (we had 10 in our group) and it is an inflated raft tube around the perimiter but with a solid floor, so it is very sturdy. Snorkeling at Kona is great, we were at the shore in about 45 feet of very clear water near the airport. Went with my wife who is not a strong swimmer and she appreciated wearing a life jacket and the experience of seeing the underwater wild life. Hawaii fish are so colorful! Captain gave us a thrilling boat ride back in the afternoon swells which we enjoyed.

That was totally wicked! - Fantastic snorkeling trip with awesome crew: Kai, Chris and Adam! The crew was helpful and friendly. They were nice enough to point out cool creatures while snorkeling or let you do your own thing. Perfect group size to get to see a lot and spend maximum time at each location. We had a great time and got to see some pretty amazing sights. Huge shout out for having prescription face masks and helping us find the right set to be able to see clearly underwater without my glasses!

Fabulous - Although I didn’t do any snorkelling ( the rest of the family did), it was an awesome trip. The crew - Kai, Chris and Tupo ( sincere apologies if the is mispelt) were amazing . Very knowledgable, friendly and attentive. Food was really good - granola bars, fruit,turkey salad sandwiches ( butties to us English lol) and a pack of chips ( crisps to us lol) and drinks. Family said the snorkelling was just the best but I did see a pod of dolphins. Such a fantastic experience.

Absolutely PERFECT!!!! - Everything about this excursion was perfect!!! Callum, Erica and Brianna were happy, kind, knowledgeable and so so fun!! The boat ride was smooth when it was supposed to be and super fast and wild when that was the objective. The snorkeling spots were awesome, we saw so many fish and coral, dolphins, sea turtle and even were lucky enough to see a whale shark which is totally not normal so we know how lucky we were!!! The nonalcoholic drinks were yummy and plentiful and so was the food/snacks. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end 10 out of 10 for sure!

Enjoyed snorkeling with my family - Our family of five, including children aged 5 and 10, participated in the tour. Surrounded by friendly staff, we were guided smoothly and safely through breakfast and lunch, and everyone stayed together, creating a sense of unity. The attentive staff made sure to check in with each customer during meal service, which was reassuring. Additionally, when the children were swimming in the ocean and returning to the boat, the staff waited and assisted with everything. This is definitely recommended!! The hamburgers made by the chef were delicious. I think they were even better than those served at a restaurant. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone planning to visit Kailua-Kona. We highly recommend this company, especially for families. Thank you very much. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
