5.00We had a wonderful experience. Kaleo was informative and engaging. It was a beautiful day and we got lucky with the weather. We went snorkeling in areas with abundant sea life and no other people around us. It was fun for the whole family.

5.00We had such a fantastic day on the water with Kaleo. His zodiac is so fun to ride in and you hardly feel the waves at all. He is a local and knows so much history about the island too. He took us to 2 different snorkeling spots where we felt like we were in a giant aquarium.
Best snorkeling tour and Captain

5.00Kaleo was a great Captain and historian as we traveled to our snorkeling destination. right off the bat we saw numerous Spinner Dolphins all over. Kaleo was very cognizant of our safety and was looking for the calmest bay for us to snorkel. We finally arrived at Captain Cook’s bay and had great snorkeling there. We saw numerous different kinds of fish, and he gave us plenty of time to explore. This was a great experience with a small number of people! We would recommend this to anyone who wants a local expert for your guide!
Fun for everyone

5.00Fantastic experience for our whole family! Kaleo is very knowledgeable about Hawaii and so helpful with the kids! We had fun snorkeling and we saw some beautiful bottle nose dolphins and even Manta rays. He made sure we had some incredible pictures to remember the trip too. Highly recommend 👌
Best snorkel trip ever

5.00Kiako and his wife Layla provided an amazing snorkel trip around Kona. Being natives of the island they knew the best places to snorkel and find dolphins and whales. We were able to watch mama whales with their baby throughout our adventure. They provided history and geology talks about the island. We have been on numerous snorkeling trips on the islands and this was by far one of the best. This husband and wife business will do anything to provide a memorable experience in Kona.
Amazing experience

5.00The guide was very helpful, flexible and kind. He allowed us to go at our own pace and gave us wonderful tips. He also shows us important places for Hawaiian culture and gave us the history. The activity itself was amazing! I can’t put the beauty of the reef and fish into words and we were lucky enough to see a pod of wild dolphins up close. This was one of the coolest things we’ve ever done.
