Super fun! We saw so much ocean life and lots of dolphins. Koa and Lucas were great tour guides. We learned a lot of interesting facts and history about the big island and Hawaiian culture.

So many beautiful fish to see! The dolphins sighting and high speed boat ride were added bonuses to the whole experience! Beware, you may experience some nausea towards the end of the trip due to bobbing around in the water for a long period of time. Overall, I really enjoyed the trip!

Must do!

Thumbs up to Roy and Lucas. Great job! Don’t miss it if you like roller coaster. You won’t get ocean roller coaster anywhere. Water isn’t cold. Lots of beautiful fish. Scenery you only can see from the ocean. We absolutely enjoyed the activity!

Crystal clear water, amazing visibility

Clearest water, so many fish and we were luckily enough to see multiple groups of dolphins spinning and doing tricks.

Best snorkel tour! A must on the Big Island!

This was my second time going out with this company! Had a blast! Helpful, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and well worth every dollar! Rory and Devon are great! We booked the Manta Ray snorkel also with Rory the next evening.
