100% recommended! - We had an amazing time! The Captain and Eli were friendly and helpful. I was anxious about jumping in off the side of the boat, but It felt safe and guests were well-supported by the crew. We appreciated drinks, fresh fruit and snack's after returning to the boat. The view of caves and history along the way was an added bonus. We even saw a humpback fully breech (twice!) close to the boat!

Awesome snorkeling, whale and dolphin sightings! - We went on this 4 hour deluxe snorkel adventure after the one we booked with another company was canceled due to low number of people signed up. We were surprised that it was a small boat, but it was so much fun! There were 7 of us plus 2 crew. The crew was awesome, knowledgeable and took great care of us! On the way to the first spot we saw humpback whales and paused to watch them for a while. On the return trip we watched the spinner dolphins frolicking, which was also amazing!! Both places we snorkeled were beautiful, and we had everything we needed. My partner and I were considering canceling the day before, and were both so glad we went. It was the highlight of our time on the big island!!

Snorkeling on the Big Island - Great first time snorkel experience for my teen/tween kids. Captain Steve and crew Taylor were great! Lots of interesting information about our locations and history, threw in a few good hearted jokes to keep the kids listening. Also enjoyed getting up close to sea caves.

Great snorkel tours. - We did 3 different trips with SeaQuest. We did the night manta snorkel, the two step/Capt Cook snorkel, and the Capt Cook snorkel. All were great. The 3 different crews were wonderful. The night manta was spectacular. We saw 5-6 different mantas and they were doing barrel rolls right under us. Both day snorkel tours were great. We saw dolphins both times and even had them swimming under us at Capt. Cook. The boats were comfortable and they provided snacks on the way back on both day trips. Capt. Steve, Ariel, and Taylor took great care of us. Would highly recommend this company.

Best crew ever! - Captain Brenden and MJ were the best! They provided such a great experience for my husband and I. Smooth trip, it was a little bumpy because of the water conditions, but they made all of us feel at ease. We stopped to see a hunchback whale, totally unexpected part of the excursion. They prioritize safety! They also bring you to the most beautiful bay where you can snorkel in still waters. Snacks and hydration provided! Highly recommended! We will come back! -Jess&Austin

Kona coast snorkelling - It was the best snorkeling trip we had as a family, having tried it before in other places in Hawaii, key west and overseas. The 2 guides were amazing taking us through the Kona coast and sharing the history, fun ride in the motorboat, viewed lava tubes and high waves. The best part was how Taylor helped my wife and another friend in our group to get into the water and snorkel! Couldn’t get better.

Captain Cook snorkeling spot - Small group excursion. The crew were very nice. Paid lots of attention to our safety. Had a canopy to protect us from the sun.

Winter in Hawaii - Super professional boat crew. Winter swell was too much to go out but felt safe and SeaQuest was great in handling the situation. Definitely will return for this tour and would highly recommend any of SeaQuest’s tours
