Great snorkeling experience with a super crew!

This was an awesome snorkeling trip. The water was among the best I have snorkeled in. Lots of sea life. The crew was friendly and helpful. We are in our 60’s and my wife had never gone snorkeling in open water before. After about 10 minutes she got relaxed and oriented and took off like a pro. Highly recommend doing this!

Best Experience Snorkeling

We’ve snorkeled in Aruba, the Dominican and Mexico, by far this experience was the best and it wasn’t just for the marine life or the location. The crew was kind, focused on safety, appreciated the ocean environment, shared great information about the Island history and traditions, and best yet, the boat was pristine. Do not pass up the opportunity to explore with Captain Morgan and the crew.

5/5 Stars; Just Wish the Tour lasted Longer!

Captain and crew were all friendly, helpful, and fantastic! Reef safe sunscreen is provided on the boat with plenty of time to apply and allow it to settle before reaching the first snorkeling site so, passengers don’t even have to worry about having some on beforehand. The boat ride out to the snorkeling locations provided a relaxing journey along scenic shores; or, on the other side of the boat, riders could enjoy the majestic view of an open ocean. Both snorkeling sites were beautiful and the lunch far exceeded my expectations! My only wish is that the snorkeling time was extended in Kealakekua Bay. It was such an enthralling location deserving of more time to explore and admire the amazing wildlife in that exceptionally beautiful and teeming reef! On our way to Kealakekua Bay, the staff also had some fun knowledge they shared with us about the history of the bay, both in the context of the native Hawaiians and, of course, Captain Cook. It was truly an amazing experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect mixture of relaxation and exploration!

Awesome experience

The crew was friendly, top-notch, organized, and professional. Snorkel equipment worked, was clean, and looked newer. The food was plentiful and delicious. The ride was smooth, beautiful, and relaxing. The two snorkeling sessions were the right amount of time. I appreciated the fact that they did a roll call and head count after each snorkel trip.

Amazing Whales and Reef Snorkeling

A fantastic trip with Captain Morgan as our guide! We really enjoyed our Sea Paradise Catamaran that took us snorkeling and a sea watch. The Captain found us at least a dozen whales, which we saw breaching, slapping, and diving. We got to snorkel on some young growth reefs, then out of the blue he spotted a 10 foot Hammerhead Shark that floated near us. Finally, we finished at Captain Cook’s reef. Meanwhile the crew did an excellent job of giving us an education to the area and the marine life. They really spent time caring for us in and out of the water. Finally, they fed us well and were so kind and thoughtful. A definite trip to do. Don’t miss it!
