The crew, the equipment and the atmosphere were fantastic. But all topped by the giant Manta Rays that we saw on the trip. Once in a life time experience and was one of our favorite things we did while in Kona!

I booked the morning turtle snorkel tour hoping that time would ensure we saw turtles and we did! There were 5 turtles and occasionally 1 would surface near us and then swim back down. Great experience seeing them up close.
This tour was the best price I found and since it's a short sail, glad I did.

This was so much fun for my family! My 2 year old had so much fun and absolutely loved seeing the divers in the water. The whole crew were so great with my daughter and all so kind. The divers would give her high fives and fist bumps through the window, she loved it so much! The crew was so helpful getting on and off the boat and laughed at all my jokes lol. They are all so knowledgeable, smart, and so willing to help and answer questions. We definitely felt welcome and appreciated! Such an amazing experience for kids and adults alike! So thankful my daughter got to see fishies even though she can’t do things like snorkel.

We had an amazing experience, the mantas were huge and plentiful. Seeing the amount of plankton, no wonder the mantas stays in that area. The crew was awesome, the hot chocolate was great. Finding Sea quest was easy, and getting out to the swim site was quick. The only downfall was when water would get into the mask, and you go to readjust the mask, because there’s a lot of plankton around, could there be a possibility that you may have swallowed some as well, or may have gone up your nose. My friend had a serious sinus infection the day after our tour. She’s doing ok now. Otherwise, we had a blast and will cherish this moment forever. Thank you for the experience.

We had an outstanding experience! The captain and co-captain were friendly and professional. We arrived at the cage and returned to our destination safely. We were fortunate to see a few sharks. I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.

I can’t fault the company too much for this but our outing got cancelled because of high surf so we moved it back and then that outing got cancelled for high surf. It’s a little frustrating because we try to schedule all of our plans for the day in the same area so this really threw off our plans on two separate days. It may have been useful to get a warning on the second rebooking that there was a decent chance that the boat could get cancelled again. I do understand safety is priority and as someone with no boating experience, I really don’t know how far out a high surf can be predicted. But overall, we’re pretty disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend booking boats that leave from Lahaina.

It was OK. Nothing was explained well. Water was cold and did not expect to be hanging by the side of board for half hour to watch them coming at you! Very inconvenient, cold and ill-explained activity. Although staff was helpful. Wished they listened to the individual difficulties to understand. Could have enjoyed better with help.

The canoe was a very cool option and keeps the number of people in the group low. The boat sailed a very short distance to the manta viewing area- great for me as I tend to get motion sick. The water was warmer than I thought- again great for me bc I think I’m allergic to cold water. I wore my own wetsuit but they provided everyone with a proper wetsuit top. I wore both and was fine. Our 12yo said he was cold but didn’t complain.
We were all provided snorkels and masks. We all got into the water and held onto a floating device equipped with an underwater light. There we’re several mantas in the area and a few of them swam within inches of us! One touched my arm with its belly. We were in the water about 30 minutes at best guess which was plenty of time in my opinion. I specifically booked a shorter tour for fear of getting sick or freezing but none occurred.
Overall it was a very cool experience and our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Definitely recommend this adventure!

It was my first time back in Hawaii in three years, and my first time participating in this cruise in three years as well. The weather was probably the best I've ever experienced. The ocean seemed to be clearer than before. Wearing masks is optional. If you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring your own mask and snorkel. Prices have gone up compared to before, but the easy snorkeling off Waikiki and the enjoyable cruising experience are worth it.
3年ぶりのハワイ、3年ぶりのこのクルーズへの参加でした。今までで多分1番のお天気。海がキレイになったような気がします。マスク着用は自由です。気になる方はマイマスク、シュノーケル持参がいいかもしれません。以前と比べて値上がっていますが、ワイキキ沖でのお手軽シュノーケル、気持ちいいクルージングは価値ありです。

I couldn’t experience more, than I had on our boat trip to Lanai
It’s perfect size of boat if you want to see views without other passengers heads in front of you, actually hear interesting and fun stories from captain and feel close to water.
We saw so many dolphins, colorful fish, turtles and learned a lot about these islands. As a bonus I got stung by a jelly fish, but I’ll take it as a very unique experience lol
If you’re very picky about food, bring your own, but for me it wasn’t important at that moment. They have different drinks and water, so nothing to worry about.
Both captains are super friendly and knew what they do.
Thank you guys!

We were the only Japanese participants on the English tour, but the staff were friendly, which eased our worries and allowed us to enjoy the experience. I was also concerned about seasickness, but the boat didn't sway as much as I had anticipated. The food was delicious. It would have been even better if the meeting and disbanding locations were closer to the Kaanapali area, as having transportation included would have been ideal.
英語のツアーで日本人は私達親子だけでしたが、スタッフの皆さんがフレンドリーで、不安は無くなり楽しめました。船酔いも心配していましたが、予想していたほど揺れなかったです。食事は美味しかったです。集合、解散場所がカアナパリ地区から遠かったので、送迎付きだと尚良かったです。

So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!

100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.

Sharks!! Yes...SHARKS. And yes, you CAN see them from the boat. It's wild to see such majestic creatures in their natural habitat. You go a few miles offshore for this trip so it does get choppy. We did an early morning tour which has calmer ocean conditions than the later tours. And I am so glad we did! We only had a super light breakfast before going out (think a bit of fruit, light bites only).

I took my niece on this snorkel sail, and we both had a fantastic time. The captain and crew are so friendly, and we great about making sure we were both safe and comfortable in the water. Not only were there lots of fish at the snorkel spot, but we saw a bunch of turtles as well. The crew is also really good about making sure we didn't get too close to them, but also pointed out the turtles when they would come to the surface. The snacks they provided were greatly appreciated after over an hour of swimming and snorkeling, and I loved that they turned off the motor on the way back to the harbor so we could actually sail with just the sound of the ocean and wind. 10/10 would recommend!
