We had a fantastic time. We were a big family group and we received fantastic support from the crew. They were so kind and have wonderful knowledge and connection with the Hawaiian traditions. We not only snorkeled in beautiful waters near the Captain Cook monument, we felt like part of a larger community, as if we were all friends. They were patient with us all and it made the whole trip so much more enjoyable. We will be back. Thank you Kona Style for going the extra mile and making our snorkel trip so memorable. Mahlo 🤙

The crew was awesome, super friendly and very attentive. The Captain had quite the sense of humor too! :) Snorkeling was fun and a great location. We loved the smaller group of people on the boat so it was less crowded. Highly recommend this route over larger more packed boats. They provided drinks and food. They had adult drinks to purchase as well. If you’re going to go on a snorkeling excursion, this IS the crew to go with! They’ll sprinkle in some Hawaiian history too! What are you waiting for?
Great experience

Fun on the catamaran. We went in the morning. Breakfast and lunch provided. Equipment provided and all snorkelling equipment. Great trip out to the monument. The water is so very clear. We saw tropical fish Octopus coral just beautiful. The food lovely. Great crew such friendly fun. Felt sorry for all the other people on the other tours. This one is superior. The crew get in the water with you to help and tell you interesting facts.
