Bryce and Jordan were great tour guides. Bryce even stopped at different locations to tell us about the history of the area. My family and I truly enjoyed this experience.

Amazing snorkeling...

Amazing snorkeling adventure in Captain Cook! The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Captain Jacob and crew were awesome — friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. The snorkeling itself was incredible with beautiful clear water and amazing marine life. We had such a great time and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii!

The crew was genial, knowledgable and certainly helpful getting us ready to snorkel. The boat has a diving platform as well as a slide from the top deck into the water. Plus they provided a tasty sandwich and snacks.

Great tour! Highly recommend!

This company is excellent. This was my second trip with them and it’s always an impressive crew and a memorable time. Great vibes, lots of laughs and wildlife spotting to write home about (we saw dolphins on the way back in addition to the myriad of marine life at the reef). In the winter, whales might be spotted. Good tunes, good food. It was literally the perfect day on the water. Hang Loose was recommended to me by word of mouth and I’m a repeat customer because it’s just a great tour. I’d go again if I came back here, too.

Excellent Boat Cruise!

Very fun. It’s a pretty large boat with two decks. There were 33 people total on our tour including my family of 7. You can sit down below on benches or on top, hang on, and really feel the wind. They provide sodas and chips to snack on during the journey out, which is about an hour. Captain provides funny and insightful commentary and plays regee music. Once the boat arrives at the bay, we snorkeled and swam for a couple hours. Saw plenty of fish and the water was warm. They set out sandwiches and cookies for lunch. On the way back we cruised closer to the shoreline and saw some waterfalls and sea caves. Overall, this was the most fun thing we did during our week on the Big Island.

Fun for family with teens

It was a lot of fun! Jacob was very professional and friendly. The snorkel was great and my teens really enjoyed it. The lunch was delicious and we left full and happy. Don’t forget a beach towel.

10/10 RECOMMEND

My kids and I had an AMAZiNG trip! The captain, Bryce, was funny and shared some interesting facts making the experience fun and educational. Huge shout out to the crew men, Mana and Bruno, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and in safe hands the entire trip. They were constantly checking on families, offering assistance, and making sure everyone had what we needed. 10/10 recommend this crew if you’re looking for a trip worth your while! Their friendly and professional who shares the aloha spirit!
