We booked a Captain Cook snorkel day trip and a Manta Ray night snorkel. Both were a blast! The day snorkel was so much fun with the Captain and his daughter. They were very helpful giving tips and keeping us safe at Captain Cook. The Manta Ray night snorkel is something that everyone should do in their lifetime. The boats for both are small and hold only about 6 guests at a time (maybe a few more?). I appreciated this because we were never crowded and got personal attention and conversation. You will not regret booking with them.

This was an incredible MUST-DO experience if you're on the Big Island! We were staying in Hilo on our honeymoon and drove down to Kona for the day just for this and it was 1000000% worth it! "Queeny" was the only Manta we saw, but man she put on a show! All of the people we met with Hawaii Island & Ocean Tours were great and they even got us out on the boat early to watch the sunset! If you're on the fence about this, book it!!! For anyone who is nervous, my husband was TERRIFIED, but humored me and gave this a shot. He said it was one of his favorite things we did on our honeymoon and is so grateful he did it. He said it wasn't scary at all now that he's done it!

Thank you for making the trek over to Kona and finding the courage to join us. We're thrilled to hear that your loved your tour and that Queenie was the star of the show. She is one of our younger mantas but has caught on quick when it comes to interacting with snorkelers. We hope you had a fabulous time visiting the Big Island and that we might get the chance to see you again. Until then happy honeymooning and Aloha.
