Private Kealakekua Bay Snorkel And Dolphin Watch

Excellent spots and wonderful people. One of our favorite trips ever in Hawaii! Boat was very dry and smooth.

We had amazing day on private tour to Captain Cook. The boat ride was fun and the snorkeling was awesome. We saw a lot of fish and on the way back a pod of dolphins. We liked it so much we booked the night manta ray snorkel later that night. I highly recommend going out with Brendan and Monet on Ocean Eco Tours. Help Support a Small Business!

This was the best choice we could have made for our trip. We booked this to honor my husband's last wishes. We left with an experience our family will always remember. We saw whales, dolphins and the best sunset. The staff/ owners were amazing, helpful, informative and courteous. It was such a wonderful experience that other family members booked an additional tour for another day. Mahalo for your help and kindness. Betty

Outstanding experience. First time snorkeling for my kids 13, 11, and 7. Very accommodating for them and overall loved our time. Would highly recommend!

Booked a snorkeling charter boat with our guides, Monet and Captain Brennan. Couldn’t recommend it more. Forget the rest, these guys are the best! Our family of seven, including two tweens, and a two year-old were taken care of with care, concern, knowledge, and professionalism. Monet met us at the exact spot after sending us a location pin right on time. Captain Brennan took us out there through choppy Waters with the utmost care. Our 10-year-old daughter loved riding in the front of the boat. We jumped in and enjoyed the best snorkeling we’ve ever seen! Highly recommend. Thanks again. See you next time we’re on the big island.

Monet and Brenden were great guides on our snorkeling tour! The water was clear, the coast beautiful and the marine life plentiful! A must do on your trip to the Big Island

My family and I had an amazing time on the private snorkel with ocean eco tours. Monet and Brenden are a great team, and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. Highly recommend booking a charter with them

Our snorkeling trip was everything we hoped for and more. Monet and Brenden were absolutely amazing- welcoming, kind, and passionate about what they do. They went out of their way to make sure our three generation family felt comfortable and had a great time. The snorkeling was stunning and Monet’s underwater videos and photos were a total bonus. In addition to the beautiful schools of fish we swam among, we were lucky enough to see dolphins pass right by the boat, and we were even able to snorkel with the Manta Ray. The fresh pineapple and snacks were an extra treat. If you're in Kona and looking for an adventure this tour is the one to choose. Thank you for an unforgettable afternoon!

We had a great snorkeling trip with Ocean Eco Tours. Monet couldn't be any nicer! I initially called and left a message asking about a tour and she called back immediately and did whatever she could to accommodate us. During the tour, she was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. As a bonus - she took awesome underwater photos for us. Brendan did a great job as captain. They both seem to love what they are doing and enjoy sharing Hawaii with us tourists. We highly recommend this duo!

I have been doing diving and fishing tours for years and this company is the most professional, personalized, and fun! They are my go to company for events, family outings, and day tips. Their safety and attention to detail is top notch. I have taken friends who are nervous to snorkel for the first time and friends who are new to boating and fishing and this company does such a great job at making everyone feel comfortable. They are great with all ages and did so well with my little cousins too! I really like that it is a small company run by a local couple vs a big company who just wants to make as much money and run as many tours as possible. They really care about giving their customers the best experience possible.

A weekend with Ocean Eco Tours (OET) in Kona, Hawaii is a new core memory. Came in from Oahu, the team at OET were both highly professional and welcoming while ensuring every guest was taken care of, dive gear prepped, and briefed on safety and dive expectations. The small group setting really is the way to go, making the whole experience relaxed, tailored to the group, and feels like you’re just on an adventure with friends. You can immediately tell that Brenden and Monet are passionate about their life and livelihood on the ocean and through Ocean Eco Tours they share that passion with the group in such an authentic manner. They have a lot of experience, the underwater photos/videos were incredible plus a bonus, the boat is a fun and versatile design, and they are determined to provide you the opportunity to experience as much of the island as possible. Captain Brenden has a keen eye for spotting wildlife – like whales and dolphins – on the horizon and his skill as a helmsman gave the group great confidence knowing they’d be taking us in and out safely while positioning us on some fantastic dive locations. All the while, Monet’s skill and guidance in the water were excellent at maximizing our time and experience in the water – plus she’s a highly skilled photographer! I'll be back and would recommend to all. If you’re considering seeing Big Island from this perspective, don’t hesitate, book your experience now!

This was the best experience I’ve ever had ! Brendan and Monet they’re both very knowledgeable and passionate about ocean wildlife and conservation! I always felt safe on my dives since Monet is a Shark safety expert with years of experience and her pictures and videos are the best that I have so far! It was always fun throughout the whole trip I loved it and didn’t want it to come to an end every time ! If you’re in Kona don’t miss out and enjoy this amazing trip or you’ll regret it!

Unforgettable Adventure in Kona – Amazing Captains! We had the adventure of a lifetime in Kona, thanks to the incredible captains who made it all possible. From start to finish, their expertise, hospitality, and passion for the ocean were unmatched. We were lucky enough to witness playful dolphins dancing in the waves, majestic whales breaching right before our eyes, and the excitement didn’t stop there. These skilled captains even speared a fresh tuna during our trip! To top it all off, they prepared the most delicious, fresh dinner for everyone on board. It was a true feast and the perfect way to end an unforgettable day. The captains made us feel safe, welcome, and genuinely cared for, all while sharing their knowledge of the ocean and marine life. Their love for what they do shines through in every detail, and it made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re in Kona and looking for an adventure that combines marine life, excitement, and top-notch hospitality, this crew is the one to choose. Mahalo for an unforgettable day—we’ll be talking about this for years to come! 🌊🐬🐋🍣 10/10 Highly recommend!

From start to finish, this experience was everything we hoped for and more. Monet and Brenden were absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming, kind, and clearly passionate about what they do. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with friends who just happen to be experts on the ocean. The snorkeling itself was stunning. The underwater photos were a total bonus. Knowing we’d have professional-quality pictures to remember the day took all the pressure off trying to capture the moment ourselves. And the photos? Absolutely gorgeous. What really stood out was how personal the whole experience felt. Monet and Brenden went out of their way to make sure everyone, whether a first-timer or seasoned snorkeler, felt comfortable and had a great time. The small group setup made it all feel super intimate and laid-back, not like one of those big, impersonal tours. This was honestly the highlight of our trip, and I can’t thank Monet and Brenden enough. Their knowledge, friendliness, and genuine love for the ocean made this such a memorable day. If you’re in Kona, don’t miss out on this, just book it. You won’t regret it.

It was my first time coming to Hawaii and definitely won’t be my last. The manta Ray experience was an absolute highlight of our trip. Our adventure with Captain Brenden on the Big Island of Hawaii was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, he ensured we had a safe, fun, and truly magical experience. Captain Brenden’s knowledge and passion for the ocean made the experience even better. Monet was an amazing photographer/videographer and captured our most memorable moments!! I cannot believe the videos of the experience was free!!! If you’re visiting the Big Island, this is a must-do experience. Thank you, Captain Brenden and Monet for making our trip unforgettable and capturing the moments we can’t wait to relive! Xoxo Alec and Alyssa

We had such a great time with Brenden and Monet! They were super friendly and really know their stuff. Monet took the most amazing photos. The boat itself was super comfortable, and we got to snorkel in the most beautiful, clear water. We even spotted some incredible marine life up close! Everything about the day felt relaxed and well-organized. If you’re looking for a fun and unforgettable way to experience Hawaii, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was definitely the highlight of my trip!

This was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had!! Brenden and Monet were so insightful and amazing to be around, I was a little nervous at first but they really made me and my friends feel safe. We had the best time!

Ocean Eco Tours in Kona is absolutely incredible and I can't recommend their tours enough! I did several experiences with them during my time in kona, and was blown away each time. One of the days we were lucky enough to see both whales and dolphins, an experience i won't forget. Monet and Brendan are not only experienced guides but also so much fun to be around—they truly made the trips unforgettable. Their manta ray night dive is also a must-do experience when you are in kona! If you’re looking for adventure and great company while exploring Kona’s beautiful waters, Ocean Eco Tours is the way to go. You will thank me later! I hiiiiiiighly recommend!

So lots of marine life and was able to get some amazing photography! I had some amazing tour guides that made me feel safe with the sharks and overall had a blast. I would definitely recommend and would do again.

Thank you so much Ocean Eco Tours for a wonderful snorkel tour! It was my first time snorkeling in the ocean and I do not know how to swim, I was very scared, but they were so professional and ready with all the gears to make it possible, life jacket, noodle, you name it. They both knew the good and safe spots to have a great experience. We saw lots of fishes 🐠🤩. Monnet is a great diver, and made me very comfortable by making me feel safe in the ocean and also took some great photos. They went above and beyond and the drone photos were sure an amazing surprise. Thanks very much again and we 100% recommend them for any tours! 🫰
