Incredible snorkeling spots and fabulous Captain! - We had another wonderful snorkeling morning with Sea Quest! Captain Brenna was a skilled boat driver and was very knowledgeable. She was extremely entertaining! The snorkeling spots were incredible, especially Kealakekua Bay ( Captain Cook Monument). We LOVE that spot!! We highly recommend Sea Quest and snorkel with them every time we come to the Big Island.

Must Do on Your Bucket List - My husband and I just finished one of the best experiences we have had in a life time. We have gone on several other snorkeling excursions but this one by far blew everything else out of the water. Michael and Taylor were incredible guides. There are no cheese one liners or gimmicks. Instead, a tour with people who bring great positive energy for a good time. You will get a wealth of knowledge about Hawaii, see once in a lifetime beautiful scenery and wild life. We were lucky to see a bunch of dolphins, sea turtles and surplus of many kinds of fish on each of our stops which all had their own unique venues that we got to enjoy without being one of those tour groups sucked in with a bunch of others. Some of our stops along the way to our snorkeling allowed up to take an up close look sea caves, see the hillside scenery, other history built into the island. Even the food was incredibly freshly prepared and the time length for the trip was just about right with the afternoon weather rolling in. Let’s not forget Marilyn who helped us out initially getting set up. Hats off to her for providing prescription goggles which my husband was able to see better far than without. Overall, this was a hard trip to top for us and we recommend if you are looking for that small group excursion, take a peak at Sea Quest!

Sea Quest - Great Snorkel Experience - Truly enjoyed this snorkel trip with Taylor and MJ as our captains/guide. Great camaraderie among staff and guests. Safety was a top concern. We were treated with a wonderful surprise - dolphins swimming along side the boat. In addition to snorkeling at two different sites we also heard history of Hawaii and saw a number of caves and lava tubes along the shoreline.

Best money I spent in Kona!! - Brenna and Kaitlynn were amazing guides! They were always watching to be sure we were all safe. It was not only great and safe snorkeling, but a historical coastal tour of Hawaii. Best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. I’ll be back!
