Our family took this tour and loved it. We liked the fact that it was not crowded and a bit more intimate. We could hear and understand the boat operator very well. We got to snorkel at two different locations, both of which were excellent. We saw so many fish! The locations were a great introduction to snorkeling for our... more

We recently went on a snorkel tour on our trip to Hawaii with Sea Quest and had an excellent experience. Sea Quest only take 6-12 people at a time on their snorkel trips and they have very fast boats, so it is different, in a good way, than some of the other snorkel tour options on the island who use... more

We have been on two snorkel tours with Sea Quest and we had the best time. Staff is courteous and friendly. The prices were good and you can get a discount if you book online. They take you to the Captain Cook's Monument and the Place of Refuge. On the way, our captain (Captain Chuck, the best captain on the... more

My sister and I had a fabulous time on this tour! The guides were very friendly, helpful and funny. Our boat was for 12 people and just right. The ride was very fast and bumpy ...but a lot of fun for us. I can see why they don't recommend it for people with a bad back or women who are... more

There were six of us in our group so we had our own six seater with "Captain" Sharney. Sharney gave excellent information along the way as we explored the lava tubes and caves which on the whole are only accessible by water. The Spinner Dolphins gave us a great show on the way. When we jumped in the water at... more

Having previously been on cattle boat snorkeling tours, this one with Sea Quest was a great change. Small boats, ours was 6 people and two snorkel locations. We had a chance to see up and close some sea caves and they took the extra time to let us see the whales and the dolphins without disturbing them. Light on snacks,... more

We visited the Big Island for a week over Christmas 2007 and I took my boys (age 12,11) on SeaQuest after reading about it on TripAdvisor. All 3 of us voted it the highlight of the trip (followed closely by the helicopter ride over the volcano). The 12-person Zodiac ride in itself is quite an adventure, and Mark and Annie... more

This was one of our favorite memories from our trip to Hawaii. We had to wake up early to drive to the Kona side of the island from our stay in Keaau but it was definitely worth it. We were 2 on the 6 person morning voyage out to the City of Refuge and Kealakekua Bay; we had never snorkeled... more

My first time snorkeling and I cannot say enough good things about the two women who took us out. They were fun and instructive. Snacks after we got out of the water was an unexpected bonus. They were quite delightful -- highly recommended. more
