First trip with Karl and Sian was a morning Dolphin snorkel. Karl captained the boat and spotted the dolphins for us, while Sian was in the water making sure we didn't miss any of the action. This is a small boat with capacity of six passengers, the experience of being on a small boat made this an exceptional adventure. We had friends take snorkel tours with bigger companies (20 plus passengers) and they had a terrible time! We were in the water for about 2 hours and were surrounded by over 150 dolphins the entire time. Amazing! Karl and Sian made us feel like family. I can't swim AT ALL, but Sian made sure I was comfortable at all times, in fact he towed me around the bay on a boogie board for most of the time so that I didn't miss out.
A couple of nights later we were back with Karl and Sian on a nighttime manta ray snorkel adventure. Again, they both made us feel right at home with their hospitality, exceptional skill and knowledge. Manta Ray viewing spots can get pretty crowded but Sian made sure that the guests of other companies gave us plenty of room to enjoy the experience. Again, Sian towed us to where all the action was. Amazing experience, one of the highlights of our trip! Next time we're in Kona we will definitely go with Coral Reef Snorkel Adventures and ask for Karl and Sian by name!
