What an amazing adventure! Great crew….attentive, funny and knowledgeable. Felt totally safe on the vessel with this crew! Captain Bryce and his crew went above and beyond. Checking in with guests individually!!!! Multiple times!!!!! This is a must even if you have a kiddos (we had 2) and/or a baby (we did not but one couple did!) lunch was perfect! Lots to snacks and drinks. A must if you are in Kona!!!!!

Excellent excursion. Staff were more than helpful, but absolutely delightful. On our trip, the weather was absolutely perfect. 2 hours is a lot to snorkel, so after an hour I wen back to the boat where people were eating sandwiches, listening to music and playing in the waters. The boat has a water slide! I highly recommend this group.
