Great company and Micah is the best! - We had a wonderful day on the boat. The crew is attentive and helpful. The boat is in excellent condition and well maintained. Safety is import to the crew and that makes everything much more relaxing. Starting with checking in at the office to getting off the boat at then end of the trip,we were well cared for and treated with interest and respect. The location can become very busy and this is our third trip to the area and the best. The size of the boat and the number of passengers was perfect. The food and drinks were great for a day on the water. While snorkeling, there were crew members watching and interacting with the customers. Personally, my favorite part was Micah. He shared with me stories of the island and its history. He patiently answered my questions about life on the island. He was very active keeping us all safe in the water and helping with everything little thing anyone might need.

The highlight of our week - The crew were amazingly friendly, could not have asked for better guides. They always seemed to have everything we needed, from drinks and lunch to sunscreen, snorkels, sflippers, snoodles, and smiles. The weather was perfect, fish were plentiful, views were gorgeous, and the amount of time felt just right. Enough people to keep company but not too many to feel crowded. Would highly highly recommend!

10/10 - Such a solid experience. Every member of the crew made it a point to go around and acquaint themselves with the guests. They consistently checked in to make sure we were having a good experience. This was my second time at Kealakekua — definitely one of the best snorkel spots on the island. The catamaran was clean and well stocked with drinks and food. Laying out on the nets at the bow of the ship and riding the waves with my family was a real treat

Perfect day trip to some really beautiful snorkeling spot. - Great service and hospitality. Loved that captain went and spoke to each group individually. We didn’t have to do much except put on our flippers and dive in. Extremely beautiful and educational trip. These guys know what they’re doing.
