    I watch this video every so often, just love reliving the experience I had in 2021! Those manta rays are so cool!! ❤
  • @dckyle
    I did the one at Mauna Kea last year thanks to y'all and your amazing videos, advice, and itineraries - still think about how incredible that experience was almost daily - mahalo!
  • A memo for some going to this, the other reason to go early besides parking is finding your touring company that you booked with. Theres a good 10 companies using the same harbor and it took me longer trying to find mine.

    We did this on our April visit, got skunked :( Sea Paradise was a good group though and would also recommend!
  • @bnnbonnie
    Just purchased your guide through big island! Am looking fwd to using it! We are planning a trip for this dec. question: I’m not a good swimmer but want to experience this “outing” with my husband. Any thoughts ??? Tia from Canada🇨🇦
  • @PinkSara3
    Hey guys! I am booking my tour right now 😎 do you recommend the early tour or the late tour? Thanks! Love your content 😊
  • @AseveraTv
    Possibly a weird question... but would we be able to get an Uber next to the Nakalele Blowhole on Maui? Thinking about getting dropped off there after a tour, but then we need to get back to the hotel somehow
  • @ec-tj9is
    Is this tour appropriate for adults who have never snorkeled before?? I noticed that they require to check a box saying that we are experienced snorkelers (and we’re not) so I’m hesitating
