Favorite excurison - I booked this snorkeling boat trip with my husband and two teenagers. We all absolutely loved it. The boat ride itself was fun because our guides were knowledgeable and funny. They made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. On our way to the snorkeling site, we saw humpback whales and dolphins which was amazing. We arrived at Captain Cook to snorkel. There were other boats there too, but there was plenty of room for everyone. We received drinks and snacks. We got right into the water and instantly saw how amazing it was. You snorkel right over the reef and saw the most amazing friendly fish. We even saw an eel. It wasn't scary because you aren't in the middle of the ocean. It was definitely our favorite experience of our trip. I highly recommend this. We also received sandwiches and chips and they were delicious. Book it!

Best time - We had the best time on this snorkel trip. Our guys were laid back and so funny…Kelli and Eloy (I don’t know how to spell his name). The sandwiches were tasty and the snorkeling was the best experience we had on the island. Snorkeling by the reef, we saw so many fish. Loved it! I highly recommend. On the boat ride we saw dolphins and whales too. So fun.

Fantastic Snorkeling Experience - This was the best snorkeling tour I have ever been on and that says a lot! Great destination and guides made the difference. Our captain and first mate attended to our every need and the small tour size was perfect. Not a booze cruise, but the snorkel focused tour I wanted. Our captain got us to Captain Cook’s before anyone else and we had the site to ourselves for at least an hour. After our dives we had a wonderful sandwich lunch and enjoyed a tour of the Kona coast including numerous stops of historical significance. Hang Loose and Captain Ula are a must!

Our Favorite Experience! - Started our trip and saw a sea turtle and dolphins right from the start. Arrived to our snorkel destination and began our favorite adventure on the island. The reef and fish are so beautiful, you will not regret this. Great lunch and interesting stories as well!

First of all, this trip... - First of all, this trip alone was such an amazing experience for our family, kids included (10, 8, 6). Snorkeling at Captain Cook Reef was like being able to swim in a fish tank. The clarity of the water and visibility was phenomenal. BUT, then you add in Captain Aiden and his pirate crew and it made the experience so much more magical. Aiden’s humor and love for his job really shined through and really took the trip to the next level. My son, who’s 6, was fascinated with being able to hang out with Aiden while he drove the boat, and Aiden was wonderful with letting him press buttons and including him.
10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to experience Hawaii and the Aloha spirit. We will absolutely be doing the again when we come back.
