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!

Feeling adventurous. - We were a group of 11 multi generational group. 70 to 7. What a great trip! We snorkeled in two areas, it was timed to miss the crowds. We visited sea caves and got a history lesson too! Highly recommend this for small boat experience.

Amazing experience! - Amazing! The crew is absolutely incredible. So much knowledge, so much fun! MJ and Ryan were the best! We did the morning snorkel and saw 3 pods of dolphins and our night manta swim we saw dozens! We would not pick another spot to go. Seaquest is the best!

Beautiful morning snorkeling and seeing dolphins! - B and Taylor provided a fabulous experiences. They are fun and entertaining. Our 3 teenagers had fun seeing the dolphins jump and chase the boat. Snorkeling in a gorgeous area and cruising by the sea caves on the way home is a plus. Small boat was the way to go.

Awesome excursion with Sea Quest - We had 3 adults and 2 teens on the deluxe morning adventure. Natalie and Taylor were awesome captains/tour guides and took great care of us. We only had 9 total in our group which makes for a much better experience than some of the bigger boats. One note of caution though, the boat didn’t have actual seats-you sit on the rubber edge like you do in a raft. It wasn’t bad, but my wife was a little nervous about it. Overall everything was wonderful. They had food, drink, and all the equipment you need. And you get to snorkel at probably the two best spots in Hawaii. I highly recommend Seaquest. They are a top notch operation.

Magical - Best snorkel trip I’ve taken so far on any of the islands. Captain MJ and Eli were charming, incredibly helpful and very funny. We enjoyed it so much that I want to say thank you to those two for making it a wonderful memory! Definitely will rebook next year!

Snorkel in three spots in one morning with an ecologically-minded company! - We really enjoyed our snorkeling tour of the Kona Coast with B (Bee? Bea?) and M.G.! I wish it had been a warmer day, as we got a bit cold in our wet swimsuits as we traveled from one snorkel site to another, but it was very exciting to get to snorkel in 3 spots in one morning! The first was Honaunau Bay. We had already snorkeled there from Two Step, but entering the water from the boat meant we were in a different part of the reef. We saw lots of great fish, but the most exciting thing was a small reef shark! The second spot was further down the coast; we were the only people snorkeling there as it was more remote, and there were some sea turtles in addition to the beautiful fish. The conditions there were slightly more challenging as there was a little bit of swell; we weren't in a protected bay. The third place was Kealakekua Bay which is spectacular, despite there being so many people snorkeling there. It was an excellent morning! Zodiac boats are not my favorite kind of boat to ride, but I really appreciated that whenever any rubbish was spotted in the sea, they stopped to fish it out of the water and dispose of it properly on land. And it was fun to be in a smaller boat that could take us close to some of the lava cliffs to show us the fascinating geology of this very young island!
