The trip on the way back,... - The trip on the way back, where we got to see the different things such as lava tubes and different sights. The guides were also very nice and made the trip just that much better

Amazing time - We loved Eric and Jordan. We had so much fun. Eric eased my anxiety quickly and I felt like I was in good hands. He was very knowledgeable and gave history lessons along the way. The ride there and back was fun as well. Definitely recommend going through this company.

Had a great time snorkeling and learning about some of the history of the Big Island - My clients and I were on a birding tour and one of them requested a short snorkel session during our trip. I thought Eric and Lacey did a great job. They're very professional and went over all the safety protocols. The little Zodiak boat feels a lot faster than it actually is. We saw lots of fishes, 2 different types of pipefish, and a little shark with white tips on its fins. They also play some great tunes while the boat is under way. Thanks for a great memory from our trip!

ZODIAC NAVY SEAL SPEED BOAT!!! Fast and Furious! - I absolutely LOVE riding the Zodiac Navy Seal boat! I've experienced many boating adventures, from the biggest catamarans to tiny sailing boats, and this is by far the most fun! Eric and Lacie, the captains, surely made the ride even cooler. I felt like we were CIA operatives on a secret mission. Ah! Maybe I've been reading too much Mitch Rapp. For those seeking a longer boat ride, I highly recommend this experience. It’s about a 20-minute ride to the snorkeling spot. After snorkeling for an hour, you get back on the boat to explore the sea caves for another 20 minutes before heading back for a final 20-minute ride.

Exciting afternoon! - We took our 3 kids (17,15,9) on this snorkel trip and they all had a blast. Captain Eric and Lacey were great and encouraged my son to do cannon balls off the boat which was a highlight for him. Snorkeling was fun, saw a cool cave and a large group of spinner dolphins and babies! The music was good, the boat ride is fast with a thrill seeking captain…my kids loved every minute of it. Delicious pineapple at the end. Thank you!

Awesome snorkeling trip and adventure with Captain Eric and Lacey. - Captain Eric and Lacey were awesome. The boat ride was fast, if you are not wanting to do a fast ride just speak up and express that. They have no issue going slower, the music was great! The music was loud, but I sure if you asked kindly Eric would be accommodating to lower it for those who have sensitive ears. The snorkeling was totally worth it and we did get about an hour of snorkeling by time. The fish variety was not shy or short, every new area I swam to had more varieties of fish. Absolutely beautiful spot. The crew were attentive and helpful for example, handing things to you and taking them from you once in the water.

Awesome wildlife, sadly disappointed with crew - The wildlife was amazing, dolphins in the cove as we pulled in, but they took off. Underwater life was abundant and colorful. The crew ~ No introductions, what company was this???, no history of the area, trip, just that we were on a Coast Guard inspected Zodiac. Loud music, fast boat, no interaction or education. Had to ask for fins, they gave us some but said it is better to hold onto a noodle and let the fist come to you. NOT if you are a swimmer. Oh, the pineapple snack was delicious. No water offered. Generous tip as we all need to make a living, however, this crew could easily bump up the educational and FUN factor.
