A snorkeling experience like nothing else! - After visiting two of the islands best snorkeling spots. We went down the coast line and were taught some history about the island. Highly recommend dolphin discoveries. Just be aware that you first have to get up to their office in the shopping center and back to shore.

Snorkeling at iconic Big Island sites - Had a nice morning with Captain Dennis and Anna. We were the second boat to arrive at Captain Cook so it was relatively uncrowded at first but as time went on, there were more snorkelers and kayaks. We had a better experience at the second snorkeling site, the Place of Refuge, where it wasn't as busy. We saw some interesting fish like a polka dotted puffer and a school of yellow tangs. Dennis gave us commentary on the coastal sites on the way back.
