From the moment you step into the shop or prepare to board one of our boats, you become part of our "ohana" or family. Our boats are safe and comfortable. Our dives are guided by knowledgeable instructors who brief you on what to expect to see before you enter the water. Encounters with dolphin, turtles, and manta rays are common in the placid Kona waters. « less

Signed up for two days in their shop, which was not hard to find, with any sense of direction at all, the woman who signed us in was cold and aloof, and was to be our divemaster the 2nd day. Phone call the day before our first day, at 230 pm, letting us know our first day was cancelled, which... more

Wife and I went out with this company and had a wonderful day. We went snorkeling with the Dolphins in the morning, with Captain John and J.C. both of which are very professional and courteous gentlemen, and then snorkeling with the manta ray at night. I do not remember the crew member names from the evening snorkel but they were... more

We made a reservation for a Friday for two dives a night and day dive. The owner wondered why "everyone" wanted to book at the last minute. We showed up after waking up at 5:45 am in the morning only to find that the owner did not schedule us for the dive on that day. "He forgot to write it... more

This was my third trip with them. My second dolphin dive. This time the dolphins proved a bit elusive... after an hour of looking they put us in the water at a reef just to get us off the boat and having some fun. After 10-15 minutes of cooling off and checking out the location we were back on board...... more

Excellent Dive staff. I just completed 6 dives with Kona Honu Divers, including their famed night time Manta Ray dive. This was the most professional dive staff I have yet encountered. Every member -- boat Captain John, and dive instructors Frank, J.C., John, J.J. and Scott -- they were all outstanding professionals, with a wide breadth of knowledge and great... more

We were going to be on the Big Island May 15-22 and I wanted to do my Advanced Open Water (Scuba certification), the Manta dive, and my wife wanted to snorkel with the dolphins. Kona Honu's pricing was sharper than most and they were able to accomodate our time frame no problem. Frank was an excellent captain on both my... more

We did the two tank manta dive earlier this month (may 2009) and they were very professional, the gear was new/clean/operational. The dive master (scott) was always aware of the needs of the group and very helpful, no matter your skill level. We also had a few snorkelers on the boat and he made sure they were set up to... more

We did a two tank, pm Manta dive with Kona Honu. I was sure I would hate it because I hate overly touristy experiences. However, it was so sick, I would do it anytime I am in Kona. The negatives are, the boat is massive. However, there are going to be numerous other boats anyhow so this is just an... more

Kona Honu does a very good job with the Manta Ray dive. Their boat is large and comfortable, the tanks, BCs, and regulators are all set up, they put the weights in the BCs, and help you on and off the boat. Scott has led this trip for 5 years, and recognizes dozens of the Mantas on sight. Their equipment... more
