My partner and I chose Seaquest Kona for our snorkeling adventure. We chose the premier tour which was absolutely incredible. Captain Brenden and MJ were our guides and both were great. We learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. We saw so many incredible fish, a pod of spinner dolphins and we were lucky to have a humpback surface in our wake. Just about 75 feet from the boat. I will def do this again next year. Thanks for the adventure!

What an amazing morning spent on the water with Skyler and team. I was a bit dubious at first due to the conditions on the day but wow what a day. We saw 6 whales, pods of dolphins swimming alongside our boat and lots of fish. The coastline was stunning and seeing all the caves was amazing. We went to 2 snorkelling locations and they were both excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and the food provided was excellent and plenty of it. This tour was a highlight of our time on the Big Island.

My mom and I had an amazing experience with Sea Quest for our holiday vacation. We had Natalie as our captain, and she was amazing, along with the other crew members! The three snorkel spots were beautiful, and we were lucky enough to go on a day when the water was extremely clear. Along with the great snorkeling and commentary from our captain, we also got to see bottlenose and spinner dolphins, lots of fish, and even a couple of turtles. This was a wonderful experience and I would definitely love to book with Sea Quest again.
