Eel Reef and Aquarium Bowl excursion - Very nice marina with good facilities and a very comfortable zodiac-type boat that accommodates groups of up to 15. Captain Brian is very knowledgeable and helpful with all skill levels to ensure a fun trip for everybody! First-mate Skye makes sure that equipment is functional and everyone is safe in the water. Beautiful and fun. Highly recommend!

Pawai Bay Snorkel - I enjoyed a two hour snorkel trip out of Honokohau Harbor to Pawai Bay in April with Captain Brian. The water clarity is excellent in Pawai Bay, we snorkeled 2 reefs and saw an abundance of fish in an area that is not heavily visited. The shaded boat was comfortable and fun. I look forward to taking this tour again.

Great time! - We had a wonderful time on the Double Reef snorkeling tour with Captain Brian and Moana, we encountered Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Hawaiian Sea Turtles, many different species of Tropical Fish, we even saw the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal, which is Americas #1 most endangered species. Brian and Moana were very safe and informative, they taught us many interesting facts about the history, and culture of the Big Island, and Hawaii. We return every year and cannot wait to experience other tours with this amazing Snorkel Tour company. They offer a small group atmosphere, and they really give you that one on one experience that you cannot get from the larger high occupancy tour boats. 5 stars and we highly recommend this company for your Hawaiian adventures.

Cancelled trip with no refund - We have ressrved the tour on Tripadvisor and dedicated one day to this, and when we went there we were informed that the tour is not running. They said they cancelled via email, which we have not received. So we were cancelled on the spot and offerred the refund. Up until today we have not received the refund and on top we lost one full day of our vacation.
