Kona 3-Hour Snorkel and Dolphin Watching with Lunch

This operation consistently delivers exceptional marine experiences with an outstanding crew that guests rave about by name. Trevor, Diego, Madi, Lena, and Tamae get particular shoutouts for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely attentive to everyone's comfort and safety. The team handles everything from prescription goggles to wetsuit fitting, and they're pros at adapting plans when conditions aren't ideal, like finding alternate snorkel spots when waves pick up. The wildlife encounters are remarkable. Guests regularly spot manta rays, dolphins (including adorable babies), sea turtles, pilot whales, eagle rays, and reef sharks. The manta ray night tours seem especially magical, with many families saying it created unforgettable memories even for young children. Nice touches elevate the experience too: complimentary videos and photos that crew members airdrop or email afterward, hot chocolate and snacks on the return trip, and floaties for those who need a rest. The smaller group sizes mean more personalized attention. One helpful tip: the marina check-in location can be tricky to find in the dark, so arrive early and look for the blue wooden structure near the boat ramp past the yellow gate.
