Couldn't have picked a better tour. - This was the best choice we could have made for our trip. We booked this to honor my husband's last wishes. We left with an experience our family will always remember. We saw whales, dolphins and the best sunset. The staff/ owners were amazing, helpful, informative and courteous. It was such a wonderful experience that other family members booked an additional tour for another day.
Mahalo for your help and kindness.

Lifetime family memory snorkel adventure - Booked a snorkeling charter boat with our guides, Monet and Captain Brennan. Couldn’t recommend it more. Forget the rest, these guys are the best! Our family of seven, including two tweens, and a two year-old were taken care of with care, concern, knowledge, and professionalism. Monet met us at the exact spot after sending us a location pin right on time. Captain Brennan took us out there through choppy Waters with the utmost care. Our 10-year-old daughter loved riding in the front of the boat. We jumped in and enjoyed the best snorkeling we’ve ever seen! Highly recommend. Thanks again. See you next time we’re on the big island.

Fabulous afternoon of snorkeling and more - Our snorkeling trip was everything we hoped for and more. Monet and Brenden were absolutely amazing- welcoming, kind, and passionate about what they do. They went out of their way to make sure our three generation family felt comfortable and had a great time. The snorkeling was stunning and Monet’s underwater videos and photos were a total bonus. In addition to the beautiful schools of fish we swam among, we were lucky enough to see dolphins pass right by the boat, and we were even able to snorkel with the Manta Ray. The fresh pineapple and snacks were an extra treat. If you're in Kona and looking for an adventure this tour is the one to choose. Thank you for an unforgettable afternoon!

Highly recommend Monet and Brenden! - We had a great snorkeling trip with Ocean Eco Tours. Monet couldn't be any nicer! I initially called and left a message asking about a tour and she called back immediately and did whatever she could to accommodate us. During the tour, she was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. As a bonus - she took awesome underwater photos for us. Brendan did a great job as captain. They both seem to love what they are doing and enjoy sharing Hawaii with us tourists. We highly recommend this duo!

The best tour company on Big Island! - I have been doing diving and fishing tours for years and this company is the most professional, personalized, and fun! They are my go to company for events, family outings, and day tips.
Their safety and attention to detail is top notch. I have taken friends who are nervous to snorkel for the first time and friends who are new to boating and fishing and this company does such a great job at making everyone feel comfortable. They are great with all ages and did so well with my little cousins too!
I really like that it is a small company run by a local couple vs a big company who just wants to make as much money and run as many tours as possible. They really care about giving their customers the best experience possible.

Amazing experience, great operation, unique and exciting adventure! - A weekend with Ocean Eco Tours (OET) in Kona, Hawaii is a new core memory. Came in from Oahu, the team at OET were both highly professional and welcoming while ensuring every guest was taken care of, dive gear prepped, and briefed on safety and dive expectations. The small group setting really is the way to go, making the whole experience relaxed, tailored to the group, and feels like you’re just on an adventure with friends.
You can immediately tell that Brenden and Monet are passionate about their life and livelihood on the ocean and through Ocean Eco Tours they share that passion with the group in such an authentic manner. They have a lot of experience, the underwater photos/videos were incredible plus a bonus, the boat is a fun and versatile design, and they are determined to provide you the opportunity to experience as much of the island as possible.
Captain Brenden has a keen eye for spotting wildlife – like whales and dolphins – on the horizon and his skill as a helmsman gave the group great confidence knowing they’d be taking us in and out safely while positioning us on some fantastic dive locations. All the while, Monet’s skill and guidance in the water were excellent at maximizing our time and experience in the water – plus she’s a highly skilled photographer!
I'll be back and would recommend to all. If you’re considering seeing Big Island from this perspective, don’t hesitate, book your experience now!

Best diving and whale sightseeing ever!! - This was the best experience I’ve ever had ! Brendan and Monet they’re both very knowledgeable and passionate about ocean wildlife and conservation!
I always felt safe on my dives since Monet is a Shark safety expert with years of experience and her pictures and videos are the best that I have so far!
It was always fun throughout the whole trip I loved it and didn’t want it to come to an end every time !
If you’re in Kona don’t miss out and enjoy this amazing trip or you’ll regret it!
