Hilo Ocean Adventures

The experience was fantastic. My guides took us along the reef, we saw plenty of fish and a few sea turtles. I had a great time and am looking forward to the boat dive with Hilo Ocean Adventures.

We had a really great time doing this tour! Turtles! Black Sand! Green Sand! Lots of fish and a lot of fun! Our tour guide Devin made our experience unforgettable and we learn a lot

We had a wonderful time snorkeling from the beach, great reef with a couple of turtles too. The guides were very patient and helpful to my friend who had never snorkeled before. Excellent time!

The crew was amazing and the people were well prepared and experts. They provided food and drinks and wonderful stories about the area and felt like family.

Me and my 13-year-old daughter loved our snorkeling guide. We had a great time. We saw lots of fish and a couple of turtles. We would definitely book with Hilo Ocean Adventures again!

Our guide, Kimo, narrated the tour providing a bit of a history lesson on the history of Hilo, the Bay, the sugar industry, and showed us the local sites along the Hamakua Coast. We even saw a manta ray! Every employee that we came in contact with was super friendly. We had such a wonderful time. I highly recommend!

Captain Kimo runs a tight ship! He’s super knowledgeable and brought water, juice, and snacks for the trip. We started seeing whales less than 20 minutes after departing. It was amazing. Followed the whales for 2 hours and saw a full body breach by an adult humpback. The most exciting thing I’ve ever experienced on this island by far! I highly recommend HOA and I can’t wait to go out with them again.

Did a two-tank shore dive at Leleiwi Beach Park with Mark. Great experience! We saw a family of sea turtles. Mark was a true professional - kind yet gave helpful advice when needed - but most of all, he was very patient as I’m new to scuba diving. The shop is very clean and well-organized. They also have an indoor pool to do open-water courses!

Fantastic guides that were all super kind and knowledgeable. They seemed to be just as into the sights as we were! All of us on the boat made for quick friends on what felt like a true adventure. We saw sea turtles and swam with a pod of 100+ spinner dolphins, saw humpback whales, and a hammerhead shark!

I have been diving for decades and I always see new things but this is the first time I had this experience. I was the only one who signed up for the dive and the company still took me out to dive. They take customer service to a new level. I was greeted like I was family when I walked in the door. I was introduced to my dive master, Matt Leach who had both my tanks ready and was loading thee van to head to the beach. Matt explained the area and the dive with clear precision. He is a fantastic dive master and took great care of me for two dives. He asked me what I was hoping to see before we went in and told me that he might just know where to look. After we were done the staff asked me how my dive went with actual interest. I completely recommend this dive center to anyone who wants to dive, snorkel or even learn to swim. They do it all here and they even have a dive shop to get you what you need or what you forgot to bring!

We had a fantastic experience with the swimming class! These toddler swim lessons were excellent! The instructor's approach was not only highly effective but also tailored perfectly for little ones. The focus on water safety, combined with engaging activities, made each lesson both educational and fun. The instructor's patience and encouragement were particularly noteworthy, creating a positive environment for toddlers to build confidence in the water. I highly recommend these swim lessons for toddlers—it's a fantastic introduction to swimming skills in a nurturing setting.
