Fantastic Expedition and Snorkeling
Amin
, Jul 2021
It was an incredible experience and the crew was fantastic. They took us (two families with 4 kids) to 3 different snorkeling locations, visited many sea caves, showed us a remote black sand beach, and yes we had an awesome high-speed sailing at the end. Our Captain was very informative about the history of the island and the historical landmarks that we visited. The sandwiches were delicious too. We spotted two Sea turtles. Kids rated this expedition as the best experience they had during our 1-week vacation to Kona. Highly recommended.

We had a great trip with Steve and Liz. The snorkeling was amazing. In addition to all the beautiful fish, we saw dolphins and sea turtles. We really enjoyed Steve taking the time to show us other sites along the way and providing some historic background during the excursion. Both of our hosts were top notch. We would highly recommend this tour. Aloha from your Colorado guests!
