    Overwhelmingly touristy, but can be fun with a group. They take you out to a calm and beautiful spot that's great for snorkeling.

    Been here 5+ times
    At 50 years, the oldest boat tour company on the islands. They have their own mooring in several places which are no longer being created.

    Capt. Kirk's sketches are great! The top deck of the boat is best to tan & enjoy the views to & from the bay. Lots of coral & fish at Kealakekua Bay. Lunch BBQ was good too!

    If you are nervous or anxious to snorkel, ask for the view box! Best alternative, I was so relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience! #bigisle2012 #Hawaii #tourism

    Hubby channeled his inner 8 year old by going down the slides from the top of the boat (about 10 times).

    Manta Ray tour is cool. If it's raining make sure to get on the boat first. There are 4 seats in the middle front that won't get rained on.

    Great guys. If you have kids the captain will write their name in fish drawings. Read more

    Beware of the boys club. Beautiful area for snorkeling, but manners? Hell no.

    Say hey to Captain Kirk (no joke) and ask him to make you a refrigerator drawing.
