Awesome Kohola Snorkel Tour - Probably the best snorkeling tour we’ve done on the islands. Brian and Gail were very knowledgeable about the snorkel locations and reef life. They were also very helpful and attentive. And the Boston Whaler was a comfortable boat with easy access into and out of the water. We’d definitely go out on a tour with them again!

Snorkel Dolphins and relax - Excellent morning—Capt B and Tobias were laid back and made for great snorkel and dolphin watching. Comfortable boat with snacks drinks and gear. Shaded area and able to see dolphins really well. Highly recommend

WOW - Captain Brian and Gail were amazing. Great attention to detail, land they found the one thing I wanted to see - a sea turtle. They are safe, the boat was clean and well maintained, and the equipment was excellent. Thanks so much for an excellent adventure - it really did feel luxurious at a fair price. Also - thanks for the restaurant recommendation, we loved it

Great ocean excursion with friendly crew! - Captain Brooke & her team were nice & professional. We got to see whales & dolphins. They were accommodating to our older and younger fam members too. We all swam, snorkeled & felt safe. It was fun. We learned a lot about whales & dolphins & Hawaiian history!

Fun Snorkeling and a Pod of Dolphins! - Captain Brooke and Faith did a great job taking us to a nice coral reef for snorkeling with a great variety of colorful fish! We had plenty of time to snorkel, then we cruised the coast and found a pod of dolphins! Loved sitting on the bow and getting a close up view of 20+ dolphins! Lunch was great too! So fun, would go again next time we’re here!

Best Part! - The sail crew was fantastic. They showed us many parts of the island. The found dolphins. They took us to a black sand beach. The food was fresh and filling. I got sick with all the motion but they did everything but rub my back. Absolutely the best part of our Hawai’i trip. Thank you!

Disappointed with false description of the boat - We were told that this tour will be on a catarman. With the following description in the sent email “ Attire Casual clothing is recommended for all trips. On snorkel trips we suggest wearing swim-trunks and a t-shirt for men, and a swimsuit under shorts or a wrap for ladies. There are shaded, covered and dry areas of this boat, and also optional areas such as the front nets where you can enjoy sea spray and more wind. Restrooms for changing are aboard the catamaran.” However after reaching the harbor, we saw that the boat was actually a small motor boat with none of the above mentioned facilities. Very disappointed with them not being upfront. Cant say anything about the trip itself, as we backed out of the tour after seeing the boat.
