Great snorkeling experience with guided Natalie and Anna - Our family of four had a great experience on the morning Deluxe Snorkel. Guides Natalie and Anna were knowledgeable, energetic, and entertaining throughout the trip. Two 45-minute snorkel sessions on separate locations was a great balance, proving time to warm up and eat snacks. The locations were top notch and provided good variety.

Birthday Bliss - Two long snorkels on two spectacular reefs with whale sightings, dolphin encounters, and a knowlegable and competent crew made this a wonderful way to cap off my 63rd birthday. Highly recommend...

Kind calm and professional - Crew was awesome: Brita and Chloe you were the best!!! Safety was taken seriously, boat was immaculate. They were very communicative and professional. They had a large variety of equipment including regular and larger noodles, masks and snorkels. They were kind enough to spray down our masks before use. Tour was informative and pleasant. Felt so taken care of and calm in their capable hands. We will definitely go with this company again. Would have loved to do the manta ray experience with them as they have a premium location that’s easy to get to and doesn’t require a long boat ride. Thank you Sea Quest. 10/10

Night or day is great to do snorkeling - We did both the day time and the night time snorkeling. Day time: we went to 2 different locations to snorkel but the boat rides to and from were anything but boring. Our captain, Skyler, and his trusty side kick Eli, were both great. We learned about Hawaii's history, the volcanoes, and the fun things to see and do. They were professional but friendly and made sure everyone had a great time. The night time snorkeling with the manta rays was also fun, but a shorter excursion. The location is only 5 minutes from launch location. We saw 4 different manta rays, they were not feeding that night, but we saw them and some of us got some great videos of them. I would do both of these tours again!

Sea Quest Snorkeling - We got lucky with just a group of 5 people so there was plenty of room on the small zodiac boat early February. The snorkeling was best at “Two Step” and Kealakekua Bay but the southern point location did have interesting lava rock formations. Ali (crew) and Natalie (captain) were great and Natalie’s story telling was fun and refreshing. The time at each of the 3 locations was just about right but of course being an avid scuba diver I could have stayed all day on the water. Highly recommended.

Great Big Island Snorkeling experience! - Great Big Island Snorkeling experience! Super friendly staff and great weather. We saw whales, dolphins, and even some flying fish! Great visibility and lots of colorful fish. They also took this by some lava tubes and caves and gave us some history. Would highly recommend!! 🐳🐬🐠
