Really something special. - A perfect blend of sailing along the coast, snorkeling with and abundance of sea life and information of the cultural significance of the area. We where lucky enough to have turtle and a huge pod of dolphins join our tour. The crew were fantastic and informative. A must do!

Eka morning canoe and snorkelling tour - a must when in Kona - On the back of doing an amazing manta ray swim with Eka last night, this morning I did their snorkelling tour. The morning tour was fun and a perfect way to again be in the crystal clear blue waters around Kona. Great attentive and highly knowledgeable staff ensured a fun morning was had. The snorkelling was very good, plenty of fish to be seen. The real bonus was having the local spinner dolphins join us on the tour too.

Small group boat tour with snorkeling option. - My husband and I loved our tour on this double- hulled canoe! Captain Chris was very knowledgeable and pointed out cultural and natural landmarks along the way. This was our second trip with Eka and we will be back!

Fun and adventure for everyone - Chris and the crew were amazing and so helpful! Several folks on our team hadn't snorkeled before, and they felt well supported. Others had been several times, and there was fun and challenges appropriate for all levels. As an Indigenous team, we loved learning about Native Hawaiian history, culture, and key landmarks along the way! Thank you for the amazing trip!!!

We will definitely do this again! - Our morning sail onboard Kini-Kini was excellent. Captain Chris and Kama were both a wealth of information about the amazing landscape and Hawaiian history. We had watched this beautiful boat sail the Kona coast for years and were so excited to finally be onboard. I give it a huge thumbs up over the bigger and much more crowded sailing/snorkeling cruises available. The price for 2.5 hours could not be beat either! It exceeded our expectations. Mahalo!

Sail and snorkel - We had a great time with Eka canoe. The guys were super welcoming and seemed to really enjoy working there. We really appreciated the Captain sharing his knowledge on the islands history. It's a special place and it was very cool to see it from that angle.
