A sweet short snorkel trip to Kealeakua Bay - We went snorkeling with a small group and Dave and Jake were great. We didn't feel rushed, we were lucky enough to see a couple of Eagle Rays and enjoyed our boat ride home that included a few stops with a little history and description of the topography.

Great family fun! - My two kids (11 and 13) and I went on this tour and we all give it a five star review. Dave and Chip were working the boat and they were friendly, knowledgeable and funny. If you want to see the Captain Cook monument without having to hike down, this is definitely the best way to do it.

Great day on and in the water - Snorkeling and sea caves were wonderful, but really wish we would have had fins instead of just mask and snorkel. Moving around the reef would have been so much easier and we would have been able to see more. Our captain and crew could not have been nicer or more attentive. Would definitely do again but would bring my own fins

Ace Morning - Great morning and fun all the way. Felt like a Navy Seal in a RIB. The bay is so beautiful and calm. The crew were amazing. Will do it again for sure when I return to Hawaii. Don’t miss the manta rays and snorkelling adventure. You won’t regret. Tham from Australia

Mixed experience - We have very mixed feelings on our tour. The negative are 1) that there were no fins supplied and 2) the captain took unnecessary risks with driving the boat. We have been on quite a few rib boats before, so know the rides can be a lot of fun. This one though, we had to firmly hang on with two hands just to not get thrown off. The captain took a few turns that were simply unsafe. The last item is that there were no life vests provided. The positive is that the snorkeling itself was fun and we saw many varieties of fish. We also saw many dolphins, and the captain kept the boat a safe distance away instead of chasing them.
