So well organized! Amazing snorkel spot and very interesting bits of Hawaiian history sprinkled in. The crew was very friendly and easy to chat with.

Felt the Aloha from Captain Dan and crew! Every detail handled with tender care and expert hands. Relaxed and enjoyed the experience of a life time. This is a must do when in Kona.

This tour company is amazing! First off, they make you feel safe. I appreciate them keeping the tour fun, but still ensuring you understand that following the rules is imperative for your safety and to protect the reef. They guides are knowledgeable and go above and beyond. We did a morning tour and you get breakfast and lunch and non- alcoholic beverages. Alcohol for purchase is only $5! The lunch was sandwiches, chips and pasta salad. The snorkeling area was great, and the ride to the reef is beautiful. They make an extra couple of stops and it was a magical day. Highly recommend...our group was about 30 people so not too crowded, the boat was big and clean and even had 2 restrooms.

The crew was absolutely awesome! They were kind, personable and attentive. The boat ride and snorkeling was excellent, too. Beautiful views with a bit of history peppered in. I have zero regrets booking this tour.

We had such a great time on the sunset boat ride and manta tour that we decided to book a second excursion with Kona Style just two days later. They happened to have spots available so we grabbed them right away! We went to Kealakekua Bay and the boat ride there was absolutely gorgeous! It was the perfect way to spend our last full day on the Big Island. All we did was soak up the sun and the sights along the way and let the crew take care of the rest! Lucky for us, this was also a small group - almost gave the feeling of being on a private charter! So awesome! As far as the location, Kealakekua Bay is a fantastic snorkeling location! It’s a must see! There’s tons of coral and a large variety of fish here - we even spotted an eel! My Dad and I had actually snorkeled this location a few days prior BUT we went on foot via a 2 mile loop hike to get here and back (as a side note, definitely recommend the boat route for this one - less gear and less physical effort which means more time in the water and more fun to be had - also the one mile hike back uphill mostly in lava rock can definitely take it outta you!) I didn’t get in the water this trip (my intention was to just lounge on the boat and soak up some rays the last day) but my Dad got in the water and enjoyed it! Also I should note that there weren’t very many people there when we arrived (it’s clear that Kona Style has this timed just right so it’s not super crowded when you get there). On the way back, we went to the grotto and saw a collapsed lava tube. Then visited Pele on the side of the island. I really appreciated the extra stops and learning more about the sites along the way! Then, just before we docked, there was a pod of spinner dolphins to welcome us back. We couldn’t believe it! Another solid Kona Style trip for the books! The crew continued to impress us and delivered yet another top notch experience! Thank you Kona Style! My Dad and I will see you again next time!

We did the morning snorkel sail and our crew was Captain Dan, 1st Mate Jacque, crewmember Brit and crewmember VuVu. The crew was professional, always concerned for our safety and they were fun! Captain Dan was knowledgeable in Hawaii's history and a great skipper. We backed into a collapsed lava tube which wasn't much bigger than the boat! The ride was very nice, a continental style breakfast was served and then a sandwich lunch with choices of cold-cut meats and sides of pasta salad and potato chips. A cash/credit card bar is available if you choose. We motored out to Kealakekua Bay Marine Life Conservatory to snorkel around the living reef. This is a popular place with the tour company's as there were 4 or 5 other boats in the area. That didn't diminish the snorkeling experience however. The return trip was great, and a few stops were made (including the aforementioned collapsed lava tube). Oh and they played great music! We would highly recommend Kona Style!

Captain Tanner, Brit, Jacque and Kaeve (sp?) we’re a fantastic crew. They helped us learn best practices and took us to an amazing snorkeling location. Our trip included a breakfast and lunch. On the way back we stopped at The Grotto and another unique spot. It’s a delightful trip and the crew made it! Highly recommended them!

The crew was outstanding, Book this trip because it was a sail boat. we were disappointed that there wasn’t enough win to sail.

Snorkeling from shore on the Big Island isn't easy in most places. Taking the boat with Kona Style made for a very enjoyable day. My mom has some mobility issues and being able to use the stairs off and on the boat to go snorkeling made it something she could do successfully. The hospitality is great and their focus on safety was wonderful.

Second time going on this boat and so glad we have made the change after over 10 years of doing the others for Spring Break. Been on Fair Winds as well as Body Glove, and my daughter and I prefer this one now. It has the lengthiest boat ride of the 3, and the crew provides more historical and geological education than the others. The Captain and crew are great! Can't wait to do it again next year! The only thing to be aware of is that it is a smaller boat that requires a bit more agility to get in to and around the boat, so probably not the best option for those that are challenged with such mobility. If that is not of concern, I recommend this snorkel boat over the others. Cheers to the crew and Mahalo Nui!!!

A perfect 10!!! Saturday 4/6 was an awesome trip!! The skipper and crew were engaging, spent time chatting with each of their guests. Shared knowledge of history and mythology about the culturally rich Kohala Coast. Hands down the best!! Mahalo for a great day !

Had an awesome time on a snorkel adventure to Kealakekua bay. The crew was friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Food served on board was tasty. The provided equipment was in excellent condition. They offer pool noodles for flotation help which was great even being a strong swimmer. Saw lots of fish coral urchin and even an eel.The crew was in the water with us making sure everything was safe and we didn’t float off. On the way back to Kona Made a few stops along the shore for historic sites. Spinner dolphins welcomed us back to the pier. Make sure you include a tip in your mental budget for the crew. Worth every cent. Highly recommend.
