We recently took two trips with Sea Paradise. While vacationing on the Big Island, my wife and I wanted to snorkel, but did not want to leave our 18 month old back at the hotel. Sea Paradise allowed us to do that as long as one of us was with our daughter at all times which was our plan anyway.... More

This was fantastic! The catamaran was very nice and comfortable, with bathrooms! We met at the office to get wetsuits, then drove our cars to the marina by the Sheraton. We had at least six large mantas put on the most amazing show for us! There were three and four at a time, swimming inches from us! One was about... More

This was near the end of our trip to the Big Island and when we were on the boat on our way to the site, I was a little worried. There were a couple of groups there for their 2nd or 3rd time because they hadn't seen Mantas in the previous 2 days. The crew was very fun; telling lots... More

Staff very cool and fun, first night we saw no mantas but went out night after and there was fewer people on board and we saw one! Jason is awesome and went above and beyond to make it fun for the kids when it looked like we might not be successful. But we were lucky and he swam us over... More

Our family/group of 4 10 y/os and 3 adults had a most wonderful experience with Sea Paradise Tours. The captains and crew members were sooo knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. One important difference this group offers for snorkelers is a staff on a surfboard as life guard of sorts. This person (so sorry to forget her name), really helped my kids... More

I went on two snorkelling expeditions with Sea Paradise. Both were great but the night snorkelling with the manta rays was magical. The Sea Paradise people were very professional and helpful. They gave us a lot of information about the manta rays and they had a set-up that ensured the safety of both the manta rays and the participants. I... More

We didn't expect much beyond a water taxi to the snorkeling site. That part was very satisfactory. Crew were friendly and service was good. But the process to get to the trip is annoying. We bought tickets one place down on the strip. On the day of the trip we had to drive to a checking point at a local... More

My wife and I took their two stop snorkel tour in the morning. There were only 7 people on board - this was a major factor for choosing this company vs. others. There were so many people on the Fair Winds boat when it pulled up, which is not for me. Captain Phil and his assistants first took us the... More

Went on Many Ray Night Snorkel. The crew are excellent but the experience is not as good as on previous visits. Tsunami of 2011 damaged the headquarters and some equipment. Because of that, they are limited in the light they can provide to bring the mantas to the site. We had one Manta on our trip and the sighting was... More

We had a super snorkle trip on with Sea Paradise. Only 12 peiople on the boat, great food, nice snorkle location and very friendly captain and crew. Captain let a little boy sit with him and "help" steer the boat. The crew shared their Hawaii experiences so that we all felt like friends by the time we left. The who... More
