You know how scared I was and you guys did more than expected to make me feel good and safe. As I mentioned I am a Mexican girl from the dessert never a water lover, specially the fish swimming around me was not something I was looking for, but after you guys help me get over my fear, I wish I could stay watching the fish forever! It was so incredible, they do not even get close to you; you are only a guest in their world. I have no words to thank you guys to come over my fear.

Aloha, I have been on many vacations to Hawaii and done some snorkeling before, but I saw more fish, sea caves, dolphins and had more fun than any previous outing anywhere I have been on. Your captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining which really made the excursion top-notch.

Aloha Shannon and Brian, We so appreciated all you did for us to help us have such a great day on Kona! You both went above and beyond in making our snorkel day such a terrific one. Being able to snorkel in both Honaunau Bay and Kealakekua Bay was a dream come true. What a treat to have the spinner dolphins surround the boat and show off for us! Also, getting to see the lava sea caves and lava tubes was such a different experience. We won't forget the day and how you made the trip so special. The wonderful fruits, authentic chips, cookies and drinks on your cute little fish plates was a real treat too!
Mahalo and good luck to you both in the future,
Cherie Beuse, Dick Beuse, Marilyn Boundy and Linda Potter
Kris & Crew, Our trip with Sea Hawaii Rafting was outstanding! We had a small group with personal service. We saw whales, dolphins, turtles and some of the best snorkeling ever. The trip back included sea caves, lava tubes and Hawaiian history. All in all a great trip!

Aloha, My snorkeling outing with "Captain Kris" was a great introduction to Big Island terrestrial and marine ecology as well as local Hawaiian culture. I was impressed with is ability to "go with the flow" of the whims of our group and of spectacular viewing opportunities of marine life that presented themselves along the way.

I'm not a big water person, so I wasn't excited about Sea Hawaii Rafting's snorkel trip but Captain Kris made this a very special experience. I noticed he was constantly checking to be sure everyone in the water was ok. We saw so many dolphin pods that I lost track counting, also some sea turtles. Another experience well worth repeating.

This excursion was one of the highlights of our trip. OK- seeing Chris without his shirt was Sherry's top highlight! Kris did a wonderful job and we even got the other two guests in the water for their first snorkel. After a little practice, we couldn't get them out of the water. On the way back, we were right in the middle of a pod of spinners. I have seen dolphins many times but not like this. We discussed how much we enjoyed our excursion with some of the waiters on the ship.
Kind Regards,
Walt and Sherry Braband
