Snorkeling at Captain Cook monument - We had a really wonderful time on this tour. Sam, our Captain and Eli, her crew, were terrific. Sam was especially great for sharing her knowledge of the area. The snorkeling was also wonderful and even though we had a full boat, they made it easy and comfortable. It was a great day.

What an amazing experience! - We had an amazing time snorkeling with a small group (no more than 14), traveling on a shaded boat to the Captain Cook monument. B and MJ were thoughtful of all of our needs, guided us to the best spot to snorkel - breathtaking sea life and coral! - and then showed us lava and sea caves along the coast. We highly recommend Sea Quest!

Amazing Snorkel Experience – So Good We Went Twice! - Absolutely amazing experience! 🌊 We loved our first snorkel tour so much that we booked a second one right away. We did the 3-hour afternoon tour with Captain B and Taylor, and then two days later the 4.5-hour morning tour with Taylor and Captain MJ. Both were incredible! The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting stories about the island. After snorkeling we were treated to fresh fruit, and on the longer tour even a delicious lunch. Everything was perfectly organized and so much fun. I’ll definitely recommend Sea Quest and can’t wait to go again. Mahalo! 🌺🐠✨

Great snorkeling trip to Kealakekua Bay - This was a fantastic excursion! It was awesome to have an all female crew (Bea and Taylor rocked it).. the boat ride to the bay was fast and fun. The group was fairly small at 13.. I appreciated the boat had a shade cover. The snorkeling was awesome… tons of beautiful fish.. I took the afternoon tour and there were only two other tour boats in the bay. I enjoyed learning about the history of captain cook and his encounters with the native Hawaiians. On the way back we stopped to check out some lava tubes and the goddess pele natural lava rock formation.. definitely a great tour for the cost. We also got snacks of fresh fruit and chips and juice.. excellent friendly customer service, highly recommend! Don’t forget some cash to tip your crew!

BEST EXPERIENCE with MJ and Teyvan - BEST EXPERIENCE! MJ and Teyvan were amazing — so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. The boat felt so private with only 13 people on board, and they really took care of us with apples, pineapple, chips, and refreshing guava drinks. We loved the history they shared about Captain Cook, and hands down this was the best boat ride we’ve ever been on. To top it off, we even saw bottlenose dolphins! Highly recommend Sea Quest Hawai‘i — truly unforgettable!

A great day of snorkeling - Our family of 4 had a great experience doing the Captain Cool snorkel tour. The directions for parking and finding the meeting spot were perfect. Our guides were wonderful and the snorkeling was very good. We spotted a few pods of dolphins along the way there and back. We also really enjoyed the snacks and drinks. I purchased a Groupon for this particular excursion and it was definitely a great value!! This was a smaller boat so there were only about a dozen of us and we appreciated the more personalized intimate experience this offered. Highly recommend using this company for any of their trips.

Beautiful snorkeling & Educational boat tour - This was such a fun experience! We got to snorkel over a protected reef with beautiful fish and sea urchins for a little over an hour. On the boat ride back, we got snacks and stopped by several points of interest where the guides explained the history of lava tubes, parrots in Hawaii, sea caves, and more.
