A great, simple trip to Kealakekua bay. The weather was very uncooperative, overcast and drizzly at times but the crew was great. The fish were there too, along with a huge eel. The sandwiches were much better than the average tour too. I do wish we had known we could bring our own gear but they did have prescription masks available, which was a big plus. There were no other stops but none are really needed on this trip. Definitely the best trip for the money.
Must do excursion

This was a fantastic outing. Our crew was amazing (Aiden, Gary and Kiyomi?)!! Aiden was a great Captain. Funny, informative, competent and extremely chill. Gary had a sharp eye to find us some whales that we got a close up view of as they passed. Both Gary and Kiyomi took great care of us and were super friendly. Snorkeling was anmazing and lunch was generous. We would absolutely do the same charter again!!

Excellent morning with Captain Aidan, Gary and Kiwami January 7th, 2026. The crew was extremely helpful and funny to boot! There were Dolphins already in the bay when we arrived. Captain Aidan even stumbled upon a bonus whale sighting on our way back from the bay. Excellent memory for my family of 5. A great day all around.
Loved it!!

The trip was truly awesome Aidan is a natural seaman, great personality for entertaining us throughout the day. The crewmen n were both really wonderful too. We saw a lot of sea life in the reef and Aidan took his time to show us beautiful dolphins on the way back to shore. Highly recommend these guys.
