Sea Quest Hawaii

On our Kona snorkeling tours, you explore sea caves and lava tubes along the rugged Kona Coast and observe dolphins and whales in their natural habitat as your US Coast Guard licensed captain shares stories about the Big Island’s history, legends, and lore. For over 30 years, we have specialized in small group snorkel tours to provide our guests a unique and intimate snorkel adventure in one of the most mesmerizing and beautiful places on Earth.

We provide a memorable experience during your time with us– both aboard the boat and in the water. The trip out to the snorkel destinations are almost as fun as your time in the ocean! Learn everything that our knowledgeable captain and crew have to share about the Big Island and the marine life that inhabits its reefs.

Our daytime snorkels will get you up close and personal with the marine life that lives along Kona Coast in the tropical waters of Hawaii. This could be anything from hundreds of reef fish to Hawaiian sea turtles; if you’re lucky, you may even get to spot a pod of spinner dolphins or whales from afar!

With so much to explore, it can be hard to imagine how that will be packed into just a few hours! Our skilled ohana manning the Sea Quest Hawaii boat will undoubtedly make the most out of your time on the water with us. Just relax and let the ocean and marine life of the Big Island guide our adventure with you.

Dive With Manta Rays on Our Night Snorkel Tour

Our most popular tour is by far our Manta Ray Night Snorkel! Contrary to popular belief, this tour will allow you to just relax at the surface of the ocean while manta rays to barrel rolls underneath.

We will place you in the water with one of our incredible guides. From there you will hold onto our premium floatation device that lights up in order to attract phytoplankton to the water’s surface– therefore attracting the large, prehistoric looking Manta Rays as well.

If you are interested in embarking on the most incredible sea adventure of a lifetime, do yourself a favor and make sure that you book your night time manta ray snorkel tour for your Kona trip!

Enjoy a Private Kona Snorkel Tour Aboard our Boat

One of the best features of our snorkel tours are they are either completely private or extremely intimate. You will get the chance to befriend our captain and crew, talk story about the history and culture of the Big Island and the Pacific Ocean that surrounds Hawaii, as well as maximize your time in the water. 

Aside from getting away from the crowds of people both on the boat and in the water that many snorkel tours on Hawaii are subject to; when you book with Sea Quest Hawaii, our captain will have the ability to fulfill every item on your bucket list! Whether that is venturing to the most popular snorkel spots on Kona Coast or exploring hidden lava tubes, sea caves, and reefs. That is the luxury that a smaller boat and guest list provides for our valued customers.
