Private charter fun

5.00We had a lot of fun and our captain and guide were awesome …knowledgeable, safe and fun. The fish we saw were beautiful and so colorful ! They were a great team. We had mostly older teens, young adults but the youngest was 4 years old and parents in their 50s…so they knew how to make it fun for all of us! Perfect lunch when we were out snorkeling before our boat ride back .
Amazing snorkeling! Whales and dolphins too!

5.00So much fun!! Snorkeling tour with Ula and Elawo was top notch! They were very professional and accommodating. Helpful and service oriented. Great crew! The snorkeling in Captain Cook’s Bay was so amazing! So many different kinds of fish. Easy swimming in a protected bay. Great history lesson afterwards. And we got to see a mother whale breach and make a huge splash showing her calf how to do it. Literally 100 yards from the boat. It was incredible! Dolphins also swimming with us too. Wow! The lunch afterwards was delicious! And getting to cliff jump off “The End of the World” was really cool! As was viewing Pele laying by the sea. Highly recommend!

5.00We had 16 people in our extended family group so the most economical was the private boat charter. What a great experience. The family, our kids, spouses, and 8 grandchildren had a blast. I would call directly to book. Saving some online fees. Stopped at another snorkel spot on the return trip. Great captain Aiden and first mate. Lots of snacks, drinks and lunch.
Great

5.00It was always a joy speaking to Tom over the phone, and Jacob and O'leo (sorry if spelling is incorrect!) were so cool, helpful and respectful. It was crazy currents the day of our outing and the crew made us all feel super at ease. Thank you for a great time.
Great day on the water

5.00Crew, service, food, and really everything was fantastic. We booked a Captain Cook tour in advance, changed our groups size, and then switched to a private boat in the end. The office handled everything perfectly and even helped us find the boat when we got lost at the harbor.
Excellent and fun.

5.00We used Hang Loose for the nighttime manta ray and also a private charter. Both were excellent. Adam is an amazing boat hand with boundless positive energy. Jacob and Simon were great captains. Highly recommend this company. They are generous with the time (in our experience they let the time extend to take advantage of fun things that popped up) and friendly and knowledgeable.
