This excursion was a blast! Kevin and Kaitlynn were amazing! We ended up snorkeling in two spots in Kealakekua Bay due to the weather, but we had a great time in the water nonetheless. I definitely recommend jumping off the front of the boat for some extra fun! Chips, cookies, and a small plate of fruit were provided as snacks. Deli sandwiches with an apple and celery were provided for lunch. Hawaiian juices and water were also provided. We saw countless fish, a large pod of dolphins, and even spotted a young hammerhead shark on our way back! I was part of a party of 11 (ages 19 to 52), and we all enjoyed our experience. 10/10 Highly recommend and will definitely go again!

We have been out with many providers over the years and have decided that Sea Quest is just about the best outfit around. This trip we brought the biggest group yet with us to the islands and they all came out on our snorkel excursion. The zodiac style boat was clean and comfortable, with places to store all our stuff. The winter swell was quite aggressive, so we didn't get to go to all three of the snorkel spots. We spent most of our time at Kealakekua Bay, because is the most protected from the ocean conditions compared to the other two potential stops. Captain Kevin and Kaitlynn, THE SEA QUEST CREW, helped out the first timers with great tips and instruction about being in the ocean. We ran into to a sizable pod of dolphins, saw one whale, and TONS of other sea life! Lunch was an above average made to order deli sandwich with chips and juice/soft drinks with cookies for dessert. Do this at least once during your vacation! You will NOT regret it! It is worth the price of admission! Everyone in our party of 11 (5 of whom had never been out on a trip like this before) had a wonderful time! We will be back!

It is even more flattering to have you bring your friends with you who have never been out on a snorkel expedition like this one before. We are so happy to hear that Captain Kevin and Kaitlyn were able to share some snorkel tips and instructions with the first time snorkelers as well as their Aloha with the entire group. What a memorable trip! Between the winter swell, the large pod of dolphins and a whale, it sounds like a wonderful trip to remember! We can not wait to see you again!
