Quality Staff Made a Quality Experience - My Wife and I went on a Manta Night trip and a day snorkel trip with Sea Quest, both were great. Bea was the captain on the day trip and a wealth of knowledge about the sea life, Hawaiian history, and geology. We went to the reef at the Cook Monument and while the number of companies doing trips meant a number of snorkels were in the water, the reef itself was in amazingly good shape with a wide variety of tropical fish.

Fish, a turtle, and an eel - oh my! - I was very nervous the ghost snorkeling because I had never been but the crew was amazing. Steve and Tavan took great care to make sure we were comfortable and felt safe. The fish were amazing and we also saw a sea turtle and an eel. I would highly recommend this company and experience.

Best snorkel trip on the island - Kealakekua and honaunau are the two best spots that the big island has to offer, and sea quest does it great. Small groups on rafts with lots of individual attention and sprinkled with lots of history, geology, and folklore.

Fantastic snorkeling with a great crew. - Captain Brendan and first mate Taylor were great! They were knowledgable and relaxed. We went to two fantastic snorkel sites and never felt rushed. They kept us energized with snacks in between snorkels. Would highly recommend Sea Quest for anyone who likes to snorkel.

Awesome New Years Eve trip - What a fantastic way to spend New Years Day with our family. MJ and B were awesome the entire trip. We enjoyed how knowledgeable, helpful and personable they were. Having the opportunity to snorkel in 3 locations was a definite bang for our buck. We appreciate how thorough Seaquest was in answering our questions and booking. Will definitely use them again in the future.

Worth it! - Such a great experience! The captain/guide and his second were so nice and knowledgeable! It exceeded my expectations for a “snorkeling trip” we stopped at other sites along the way and got to learn some amazing history, they had everything you might need for all levels of experience- noodles, life vests or just the snorkeling gear for those of us who didn’t need it. Truly a great experience can’t speak highly enough of the staff!

Great experience! - Brendon and Jackson were great! They were our captain, trash collector, diving coach, bag concierge, informational guide all in one. Captain Cook spot definitively had more fish. Even saw some whales and dolphins!

Two perfect snorkeling spots - My wife and I did the deluxe morning snorkel with the Sea Quest crew last week. It was an awesome experience. We headed out to sea and saw a huge pod of spinner dolphins before making our way to our first stop at the Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. The visibility was incredible and the amount of fish and healthy fish is a testament to how well Sea Quest respects this beautiful place. From their we hit Kealakekua Bay and got in another 45+ minutes of snorkeling in pristine conditions. The drop offs from reef to deep blue seas here are astounding. Our crew Captain Steve and deck hands Taylor and Caitlin took excellent care of us the entire trip. We cruised the coast and up to sea caves and the red devil hill before making our way back to land. Highly recommend this tour and this company!
