"Feels like a scam"

Reviewed October 18, 2025 NEW

Very shady business. I reserved a tour with this company. But decided to cancel a week before the actual tour date. On the tour confirmation email, it clearly said that I need to call to make changes to the tour. I tried to call multiple times on different days and left them a voice message. No one picked any call or returned a call to me. On the date of the tour, the owner called me and told me that I will not get any refund cause I didn’t contact them by email to cancel. The whole thing feels like a scam. Don’t recommend to order any tour with them. There are many options at Kona

We loved the manta ray snorkel tour and the dolphin watch (including two great snorkel spots). It is a much more beautiful and personal experience to be on an almost private tour (max 6 persons) which makes it an ideal solution for families. Our two sons (7 and 9y) loved it as well, so we can definitely recommend both tours!

"The best. Feels like a family excursion"

Reviewed August 02, 2023

This tour is awesome. Bambi is a great local host who stands out as someone who actually grew up here along these shores. She is very kind, specially with kids. We did two tours with her over the past few years (the Manta rays and the dolphin tour) and both were great experience. She owns a small boat in a very good condition. Look no more if you’re looking for a tour that feels like a family excursion. She is lovely.
