Great snorkeling experience - Great experience! The check in process was easy. On our arrival we were pleasantly surprised that our small party of 7 would have a boat to our selves! Our captain, Brendan and crew, Kopono treated us to a fantastic private snorkeling tour. Having been several times to Captain Cook and Two Step (Place of Refuge), this trip stood out. Brendan’s local Hawaiian knowledge was impressive! The trip was one to remember. Highly recommend.

Outstanding snorkeling and coastline experience from start to finish! - We had an amazing experience with Seaquest! Skyler & MJ were fantastic guides on our morning snorkeling trip! We went as a family and our older boys loved their good sense of humor. They were very accommodating with helping this snorkeling newbie with getting her mask on correctly. They shared Hawaiian stories as we checked out the beautiful sea caves and lava tubes. Really enjoyed going with a smaller group. The lunch, snacks and drinks were a great touch. Our only regret was not booking a manta ray trip with them. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with them! A big Mahalo to the crew at Seaquest!

Kona Snorkling Cruise Kudos - Had a great time on the water today with Captain Kieran and Cruise Director Kaitlin. Very good snorkeling spots but even better tour and crew - too many whales to count and some dolphins just to top it off. Great location as well.

An unbelieveable experience - If I could give this tour more stars, I would! Natalie and Taylor led an incredible morning tour! They were so knowledgeable and energetic. Before we even started snorkeling, we got lucky and saw whales, false killer whales (I'm told this never happens) and dolphins. The snorkeling was fantastic, and with the smaller boat, we were able to get close to see lots of sea caves and lava tubes. I also enjoyed the smaller group on the boat. If you're looking for a little adventure, this is the trip for you!

Fantastic snorkel trip! - Been on many charters, this one was the most fun I've ever been on! Captain B and Kourtney were fantastic. 5 hours along the beautiful Kona coast, fun boat ride, got to see many things you can only see via boat. 3 stops for snorkeling & lunch. Almost back to the harbor, Captain B spotted a humpback whales so he turned around & went back so we could see it. What a fun day! Would definitely do this again A+++

The perfect snorkel excursion - Have been on many snorkeling excursions over the years. The one this morning was one of the best by far!! MJ and Caption Brennan were fantastic! Went to 3 great spots, lunch and brief fruit snack between the stops was great but what made it one of the best was Brennan’s knowledge and explanation of Hawaii. Way more than just a great snorkel experience. The above water experience was just a good making it the perfect snorkeling adventure. Definitely a bucket list item. Thanks for the memories. Gary & Brenda

AMAZING snorkeling experience! - Captain Robbie was so accommodating and worked so hard to give us an amazing experience. He is knowledgeable of the Big Island and the history of the Hawaiian people and how the island was formed. Taylor was so nice and sincere! Her great personality shined and she was so helpful. We could not have asked for more! We saw coral, fish, whales and dolphins!!! We also saw so many caves along the coast.
Thank you!

The Perfect Adventure - This excursion was a blast! Kevin and Kaitlynn were amazing! We ended up snorkeling in two spots in Kealakekua Bay due to the weather, but we had a great time in the water nonetheless. I definitely recommend jumping off the front of the boat for some extra fun!
Chips, cookies, and a small plate of fruit were provided as snacks. Deli sandwiches with an apple and celery were provided for lunch. Hawaiian juices and water were also provided.
We saw countless fish, a large pod of dolphins, and even spotted a young hammerhead shark on our way back!
I was part of a party of 11 (ages 19 to 52), and we all enjoyed our experience.
10/10 Highly recommend and will definitely go again!

A Tremendous Morning on/in the Water with an Outstanding Tour Provider! - We have been out with many providers over the years and have decided that Sea Quest is just about the best outfit around.
This trip we brought the biggest group yet with us to the islands and they all came out on our snorkel excursion.
The zodiac style boat was clean and comfortable, with places to store all our stuff.
The winter swell was quite aggressive, so we didn't get to go to all three of the snorkel spots. We spent most of our time at Kealakekua Bay, because is the most protected from the ocean conditions compared to the other two potential stops.
Captain Kevin and Kaitlynn, THE SEA QUEST CREW, helped out the first timers with great tips and instruction about being in the ocean.
We ran into to a sizable pod of dolphins, saw one whale, and TONS of other sea life!
Lunch was an above average made to order deli sandwich with chips and juice/soft drinks with cookies for dessert.
Do this at least once during your vacation! You will NOT regret it! It is worth the price of admission!
Everyone in our party of 11 (5 of whom had never been out on a trip like this before) had a wonderful time! We will be back!
