Best day on my entire life!!!!!! I came to the island to scatter my moms ashes with the dolphins as it was her final wish. I contacted them and told Laure my story and they graciously agreed to help me and make it as easy for me as possible. I also had a terrible fear of the ocean so the... More

We had such a great time on our snorkel adventure with Kona Ocean Adventures! Laure and Danny are the best, so knowledgeable and relaxed. They had everything on board to make the day really memorable. All the gear was top notch, great food, and they knew just where to take us to see the awesome fish of Hawaii. We can't... More

I booked the manta ray snorkel as a birthday gift for my husband. There were many companies to choose from but I definitely made the right choice. Other boats had 20+ people. We chose a smaller boat and got personal treatment, including homemade salsa, fruit, cookies, veggies, and hot cocoa. Laure and Danny were wonderful and made the experience so... More

They make you feel like you've been friends for years. We saw beautiful coves and ended up at Captain Cooks monument. The ocean is... More

Went with Laure and Danny on a 2 tank dive while my girl friend snorkeled. Both dives were phenomenal!!! They know the spots and are very experienced divers who made us both feel very safe and comfortable. They were exceptionally accommodating and although both have a plethora of dives behind their belts their enthusiasm for the sport was like mine,... More

We spent two days diving with Laure, Danny, Mike and Joy. The first day we went on a two-tank day dive and the second day we did the manta ray night dive. It was such a great experience. I really appreciated that they were patient, focused on safety, were friendly and wanted to make sure we had a wonderful time.... More

I am a professional underwater photographer and I also have worked on 4 different snorkel and dive boats in my life. What I saw from Captain Danny and crew was that they were professional, well experienced, and easy going. Right out of the harbor on our first trip, dolphins! We cruised another few minutes and Danny says, "look over the... More

Got Lucky and found these guys. Danny accomodated a bit of a long dive trip to a special place and we did the manta night dive with them. small boat compared... More
