Set against the backdrop of the Kona Coast’s rugged beauty, every journey becomes a masterpiece of your own design.

Brian was an excellent captain and tour guide. He took care of us in every way. He provided a delicious lunch of pineapple, sandwiches, and chips and salsa. We had children on the boat and he made sure that they were comfortable and had fun. The boat was a very comfortable ride for our entire party. We saw mantas, spinner dolphins, and we snorkeled Kealakekua Bay. Thank you so much. We will recommend to all of our friends.

Our group of 10, Rise & Shine, had the best time! The morning boating trip with Bryan and Riley was smooth and easy — they showed us everything around the island and provided everything we needed. The second trip, the Manta Ray night experience with Bryan and Sky, was truly unique and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!

We had a great time with Hawaii marine life charters! We got to see lots of dolphins and whales as well as the beautiful surroundings of the Big Island. Brian and Jan were great hosts and very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Highly recommend!
