Amazing crew - It was absolutely amazing, I’m a bit of a chicken and they made me feel extremely comfortable and safe and I even lost my hat on the way back and they turned around and retrieved it for me. Absolutely great team that takes you out if you get a chance 100% make this a part of your travels.

Family excursion - We had 16 people in our extended family group so the most economical was the private boat charter. What a great experience. The family, our kids, spouses, and 8 grandchildren had a blast. I would call directly to book. Saving some online fees. Stopped at another snorkel spot on the return trip. Great captain Aiden and first mate. Lots of snacks, drinks and lunch.

Whether you’re traveling with family or friends, this catamaran tour is a fantastic way to unwind and soak in the beauty of Kailua-Kona.
