Colin and his wonderful team at Captain Zodiac showed us a truly unique and amazing time while we were visiting Kona! Their zodiacs are super fast and comfy, and they brought us out to the open blue and quickly spotted some really cool wildlife. We saw a fisherman catch a mahi-mahi, a pod of curious pilot whales, and those who wanted even got to swim with some oceanic white tip sharks! The Captain Zodiac team really made us feel safe and gave us a great experience!
