My husband Mike and I had a great time with Kris on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009. We are from Santa Clara, California, so this was a huge treat for us. Our day started out with a great group of people. We both have gone out but it had been a long time. Captain Kris made sure we were comfortable with... more

Great value, great fun - totally recommend doing this! Captain Kris and his 1st mate took us to the best snorkelling that we have ever done, were very knowledgeable about the island, wild life and its history. The trip is very personalized, fun for all ages and abilities and BRING YOUR CAMERA! You're going to see caves, patagonian parrots, snowflake... more

Doing the Manta-Ray night snorkle was the highlight of my family's week long stay in Kona by far! Not only were the Manta-Rays amazing but Kris and Saifon were the nicest and coolest people we met on the entire trip. They are both so cool and nice and make you feel like life long friends. It is too bad that... more

My family and I went on a day snorkle to Kealakeakua Bay with Kris and Saifon. It was the most relaxing and beautiful trip/tour we have ever been on. Both Kris and Saifon made you feel like you were all old friends. The time that was spent with them was quality. The knowledge of the Island history and the nature... more

He is very friendly and quick with a smile and to answer any question. I have been on three tours with him, 2 day time snorkle trips and 1 night time snorkle trip. He... more

Kris and SaiFon were just wonderful. Totally safe, experienced and thorough with their management of the trip. Fantastic sunset ride and then an amazing night snorkel with the elegant manta rays. I'll never forget the vision of the darkness, the dive lights, the scuba bubbles, the schools of silver fish and the sight of these incredible rays gliding and flying... more

We joined Captain Kris Henry on the evening manta ray tour and it was absolutely phenomenal! Captain Kris was the most gracious host, extremely knowledgeable of the island and the different species. I highly recommend his tours! more

This trip was so amazing. Shannon met us and escorted us to where the boat was docking. She is a wonderful asset to SHR. The boat left the pier at 0830 and didn't come back to the pier till 1430. Six hours on the water, exploring the ocean and Kealakeakua Bay. We started our trip with the sighting of spinner... more

I've been fortunate to enjoy Kris's trip 3 times and am looking forward to another this fall. What sets SHR apart from the others? Kris is a local boy - and his love and knowledge of the island adds to the already outstanding experience of being on the gorgeous water. He is full of stories and shares some lesser known... more
