Our family of four, who consisted of beginner snorklers, had an experience that we will never forget!! Both of our daughters, ages 7 and 15, were absolutely delighted by Captain Matt and First Mate Dre. The crew were very conscious about the passengers on the boat, specifically the younger kids. They made us feel very comfortable and secure during the... more

Everything was great. Captain Mary could manouver the boat anyplace-up to blow holes, in sea caves and find manta rays. Tought us how to snorkel, took us to 2 great spots and made excellent snacks all the while giving excellent commentary and history. it is like swimming in a giant aquarium. This is a must do. more

Our family took this tour and loved it. We liked the fact that it was not crowded and a bit more intimate. We could hear and understand the boat operator very well. We got to snorkel at two different locations, both of which were excellent. We saw so many fish! The locations were a great introduction to snorkeling for our... more

We recently went on a snorkel tour on our trip to Hawaii with Sea Quest and had an excellent experience. Sea Quest only take 6-12 people at a time on their snorkel trips and they have very fast boats, so it is different, in a good way, than some of the other snorkel tour options on the island who use... more

We have been on two snorkel tours with Sea Quest and we had the best time. Staff is courteous and friendly. The prices were good and you can get a discount if you book online. They take you to the Captain Cook's Monument and the Place of Refuge. On the way, our captain (Captain Chuck, the best captain on the... more

My sister and I had a fabulous time on this tour! The guides were very friendly, helpful and funny. Our boat was for 12 people and just right. The ride was very fast and bumpy ...but a lot of fun for us. I can see why they don't recommend it for people with a bad back or women who are... more

There were six of us in our group so we had our own six seater with "Captain" Sharney. Sharney gave excellent information along the way as we explored the lava tubes and caves which on the whole are only accessible by water. The Spinner Dolphins gave us a great show on the way. When we jumped in the water at... more

Having previously been on cattle boat snorkeling tours, this one with Sea Quest was a great change. Small boats, ours was 6 people and two snorkel locations. We had a chance to see up and close some sea caves and they took the extra time to let us see the whales and the dolphins without disturbing them. Light on snacks,... more

We visited the Big Island for a week over Christmas 2007 and I took my boys (age 12,11) on SeaQuest after reading about it on TripAdvisor. All 3 of us voted it the highlight of the trip (followed closely by the helicopter ride over the volcano). The 12-person Zodiac ride in itself is quite an adventure, and Mark and Annie... more
