The fish abundance was great, but what stood out were Captain Cam and guide Maureen. Both made this fantastic. This is a private tour and they did a great job putting us places to see a lot yet avoid some of the mass crowd areas involving bumping into people at the surface.

We LOVED everything about this experience. We were first-timers at snorkeling, with three kids (8, 10, and 12) and the Kaimana crew was super patient, kind, informative and educational. We were nervous to get into the "deep" (actually shallow-ish) water with the fish and who-knows-what-else (?!), for the first time, but Cam and Liv went at our pace and were super helpful and accommodating. One of our kids is on the Autism Spectrum and as it turns out, while hesitant at first, he was the one who enjoyed it the most and was last out of the water. Went with the private charter and Go Pro package and have zero regrets. That was definitely the way to go. The freshly sliced pineapple and snacks were a nice touch. Communication ahead of time with Kayleigh was a breeze! Have been following these guys on Instagram for a while, now, so we were thrilled to finally go out with these experts in their field. Can't wait to return and try the Ocean Safari, next time. Mahalo!

I had such a beautiful experience in kealakekua bay with Kaimana Ocean Safari. The crew Kay and Liv were knowledgeable about the area and clearly had a passion for the ocean. Being on a small boat was so nice to have a more intimate experience. I got the professional photo package to remember my experience and I couldn’t be happier with the photos! Would definitely go on this tour again!
