Best Snorkeling Tour Out There! - This was by far the best snorkeling boat Hawaii has to offer. Very family friendly and attentive staff. Great atmosphere with water slides and a high dive that kids and adults enjoyed! Phenomenal fish and sea creature sightings.

Good times - Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff! They had all the equipment needed for swimming/snorkeling and helped those who had never gone snorkeling before. The trip in general was comfortable and the views were great! Would definitely book again.

Great trip! - Nice relaxing cruise. Equipment was clean and comfortable; crew was very professional and nice and very helpful. The ride itself was pleasant. The Captain Cook memorial area is where we snorkeled. The waves were almost non existence making for a stress free snorkel experience. Definitely recommend this cruise company and would take this trip agsin!

We loved it! - This was a great experience. We took our two boys, ages 17 and 20. We saw lots of fish plus a manta ray and some spinner dolphins on our way there and back. My kids and husband thought the slides and platform were fun and the total time (1.5 hours in the water, a bit less than an hour each way) was perfect. The staff was nice, and the simple snacks totally hit the spot. I appreciated that this wasn't a "party cruise" like some other snorkeling trips. Definitely recommend!

Best snorkeling in Hawaii - Great service, excellent snorkeling! We were well cared for; from the fittings of the snorkel mask and fins to the additional options for folks that had issues floating. Snacks and drinks were appreciated after and the history of the island was something we’ll take back with us! Highly recommend!

Best snorkeling trip ever! - Absolutely fantastic snorkel tour! The Captain, crew and boat were excellent. What I really liked too was they had different levels of snorkel gear to use depending on your ability. From boogie boards with porthole viewing to inner tubes with a hand held fish viewer. Also easy stairs into the water for us people with mobility challenges. I’ve been on a lot of snorkel tours and this was hands down the best and most accommodating to all abilities and ages. Also the water clarity and amount of fish and coral was just spectacular!
