Best ocean experience ever! - Amazing experience! Saw tons of animals and swam with a whale shark! The free underwater photography by Monet is a huge added bonus! They are cheaper than other companies and include photos! A no brainer if you are visiting Kona!

Highlight of our trip! - 10/10 recommend doing an offshore dive with Monet and Brenden! We had so much fun! We saw lots of whales, spinner dolphins, and the most beautiful reefs full of fish! It was a much more personalized experience than when I’ve booked with bigger boats in the past. This was definitely the highlight of our Kona trip, we can’t wait to come back and will be booking with them again! :)

Once in a lifetime experience - Money and Brendan are awesome. They took us to some incredible dive spots, were very knowledgeable about the marine life, taught us about our safety if we saw marine life while diving, and took incredible photos of everyone. They are truly the best in the business!

Absolutely Recommend!! - Our offshore dive boat adventure in Kona was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we set out, Brendan and Monat made us feel completely safe and well taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. We were incredibly lucky to see humpback whales, false killer whales, and even catch some fish along the way. One of the most magical moments was listening to the hauntingly beautiful songs of the whales through their underwater microphone—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. The crew’s knowledge, professionalism, and passion for the ocean made this trip beyond amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an incredible marine adventure in Kona!

10/10 - would abandon land again - If you’re looking for a weekend that ruins all future weekends (because nothing will ever compare), book a trip with Monet and Brenden. These two aren’t just guides—they’re full-time ocean hype squad and possibly mermaids in disguise. Within minutes, we were finding wildlife like pros—including a False Killer Whale, which, fun fact, is just as cool as a real killer whale but probably has an identity crisis. By the end of the trip, we were ocean-blessed and had acquired two new best friends. Already planning to come back once a month… or just moving in.

A must do! - I honestly couldn't have had a better time with Ocean Eco Tours! The experience was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky enough to witness a stunning array of wildlife, including whales, dolphins, false killer whales, mantas, and so much more. Brenden and Monet were outstanding guides, providing us with not only an incredible wealth of knowledge but also ensuring our safety both in the water and on the boat. Their passion for the ocean and its creatures truly shone through. If you want to experience the magic of Hawai’i, there’s no better way than from the waters off of Kona. I highly recommend this tour – it's an absolute must-do! 100% worth it!

Unforgettable Days on the Water! - Had the absolute best time on an offshore safari with Monet and Brenden! From the start, everything was top-notch. We saw so many mom and calf humpback pairs from the boat, plus a ton of breaching whales—such an incredible sight! On top of that, we got to spearfish in some amazing local spots filled with mu, uku, and parrotfish. Not only was the diving incredible, but we even caught fresh fish and had it for dinner—can’t beat that! The highlight? We had the insane luck of encountering a rare pod of false killer whales and watched them hunting up close. Such a wild and unforgettable experience! Overall, just an epic few days on the water with great people. If you’re thinking about booking—just do it! Can’t wait to go back.
