Perfect way to snorkel by Captain Cook Monument!

We had a great experience taking in the canoe ride over to the Captain Cook Monument and learning about the history of Kealakekua Bay. Our guide was very friendly and was checking on the people kayaking and snorkeling to make sure they were ok and having a good time too. Snorkeling in the bay was fantastic!
Great morning on the water and terrific guide

Great experience

Snorkeling in the clear water of Kealakekua Bay was an outstanding experience. Jamal our guide and the crew at Ehu and Kai were knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We had a great time and even saw Spinner Dolphins in the bay at the end of our trip. We had a small group which made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We had a fun time with this experience. "Uncle Peter" told us some history and stories and even did a Hawaiian ritual before we jumped into the water for snorkeling. We did end up having to paddle but I myself totally volunteered and it was fun. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a totally different kind of experience outside of going on a motor boat. Oh and the guys who prepped us before we went on the canoe were so welcoming and hospitable.
Amazing Canoe and Snorkeling

Had the most amazing time paddling with my family to Captain Cooks monument! From Rufus who got us all checked in, to our steersman Manao…. Who didn’t even laugh when a former paddler couldn’t get back in the canoe… such an amazing day.. followed by lunch at Reel Aloha… don’t miss out on the poke bowls!
Fantastic morning with the fish!!!

Jamal was a wealth of knowledge and we enjoyed the experience greatly! The water was beautiful and we had the bonus of seeing dolphins playing in the bay.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
It’s Awsome that you saw dolphins as they were not present for awhile. He is an Awsome worker, nephew and has knowledge of Kealakekua Bay the home of Kamehameha l.
Thank you for using our company as part of your vacation to Kona, Hawaii.

Easy 5 star review. Guide gave us some historical information about Hawaii as we paddled out to Capt. Cook Memorial. Everything from the cliff to the water and the scuba site were absolutely beautiful even saw a manta ray on the way back in. Would definitely do again with out a question.
Excellent time

Fun, quiet, safe, local-flavor Kealakekui Bay / Captain Cook Monument tour and snorkle.
Jeraldine_P

Ehu and Kai Adventures offered exactly the small, personal experience we were looking for. We wanted to take a boat tour in the Kealakekua Bay and do some safe, supervised snorkeling. Uncle Peter and his crew thought of everything, from full snorkel gear, flotation devices, snacks and drinks and even a sun umbrella on the canoe! Uncle Peter shared his local knowledge and folk lore with us as he taught us how to paddle. We totally enjoyed the morning tour as there were no powerboats in the bay when we got there and the lack of a motor on the canoe allowed us to hear the waves, the trees in the breeze and the dolphins breathing as they came up for air when Uncle Peter blew his conch shell. I only give 4 stars as there is nowhere to use a toilet before you start your 2.5 hour tour so make sure you do you business before you head to the tour, and parking can be a bit challenging as the tour outfit is at the end of a narrow neighborhood street. All things considered we would do this trip again and again and recommend it highly.
Don’t book your tour through Viator!

Double booking through Viator!
When we arrived 10 minutes prior to departure time, the guide did not see our reservation and he kept telling us “oh man, we always have a trouble with Viator” and he scrolled his phone screen up and down and told us “I don’t see your reservation, can you come back tomorrow morning? “ Well, I reserved and paid over 3 weeks before the event for 4 people and we had other plan the next day. After all my husband and one our two sons went to canoe as only room for 2 available and the other son and I just sat at the bench near the shore for 2 1/2 hour ... what a waste!
I’ve requested a 1/2 refund.
Tour guide is knowledgeable according to my husband.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
