We met our guides Chris and Tyson aboard the zodiac in Kona. We went to Kealakekua Bay , a national marine park to snorkel. We saw the most magnificent tropical fish swimming over the coral reefs. What a sight!! Chris and Tyson were very helpful and a pleasure to be with. It was a fun day and looking forward to... More

The raft ride was a blast, the snorkeling was very good, had several dolphins swimming next to our boat at hide speed, even had a turtle surface next to the boat. As good or slightly better snorkeling than Molokini Crater in Maui, the coral is nicer. The lava caves are great to see. This excursion was a close second to... More

Knowing the best snorkeling on the Big Island was accessible by boat was when we chose Captain Zodiac! Great choice we must say because we had a blast! We saw dolphins as soon as we got started then the crew spotted short fin pilot whales several times and we headed right over to check them out! It was a beautiful,... More

Captain Shane and First Mate Caleb were thoughtful, hilarious and extremely knowledgeable of the waters we traversed on our 4-hr adventure. We saw native pilot whales and spinner dolphins. It was amazing! My husband and I felt like kids again and with our children ages, 8, 7, and 4, we had an experience of a lifetime. Can't forget to mention... More

This was the best snorkel adventure I have ever been on. The fish and corals were second to none. The boat ride was a blast too, Andy and Joy were a lot of fun and were very knowledgeable. They're not joking when they say that people with bad backs shouldn't go in the zodiac though... I'm perfectly healthy and relatively... More

Captain Ken and first mate Peter offered an informative, often humorous, and action packed high-speed adventure. The ride out to the reef was fast but never compromised our safety. There is a shallow part of the reef in 20 feet of aquarium-like water that drops off to 200 feet, providing plenty of opportunity to see all sizes and vibrant colors... More

This was the most memorable and fun thing we did on our Cruise. The crew were fun and informative and it was an action packed morning. After an exciting fast ride out to the reef we snorkeled and saw beautiful colorful fish and reef, then we got back on the raft and had drinks and snacks. After that, another exciting... More

Just returned from our best snorkel trip ever! Captain Jack and first mate Kristen were the best! Zodiac raft trip out was fun, water was crystal clear, saw TONS of cool fish. They gave us lots of time to play around on the reef- what a great day! We have snorkeled lots of places, but this was the best. Highly... More

Coastline is very beautiful there. Saw two hammerhead sharks and several whales on the way back after snorkeling. Crew was fabulous, especially Jennifer. Had a great time. We had... More
