This is a MUST water activity!!
Toni_K
, Jan 2022
This was by far the one of the BEST excursions we had on the Big Island. The catamaran was spotless. It was spacious with two bathrooms! The food was hand prepared and the drinks were hand mixed. YUM! But the snorkel spots were the BEST! I saw so many kinds of fish, ells and coral! I wanted to go again, but our schedule didn't allow it. This is a MUST water activity!

Great crew, awesome experience. Plenty of room on the catamaran for gear and viewing. Full size (clean) restrooms too. Would definitely recommend. We would have liked more time spent at Captain Cook monument to snorkel but you could spend hours there! Sailing during lunch, while watching the dolphins in the bay was amazing.
