Great turtle snorkling cruise - Great boat and gear. High visibility vest provided helped you to float easily. Crew was very engaged and friendly. Multiple turtles seen, on surface and on the bottom. The crew member in the water with us was even able to swim down to help people see the turtles and took a video with the GoPro video camera we had with us. (It was a small group, might not have worked with a bigger group) Sailout and back was very nice, sails up on the catamaran on the way out (45 min from dock to snorkel area). Nice lunch provided along with draft beer and some tasty cocktails.

Great, even for newbies - This was the absolute best experience! The team was great, I have never been snorkeling before and while it was a bit of a workout, I was able to easily keep up. We also got to see an eagle ray, it was so cool!

Its ok, would only do it once, crew was great - As other travelers have mentioned the waters are VERY crowded and most people have zero common sense or manners. I saw some pretty cool fish and there was 1 turtle....the highlight of the excursion was seeing 2 whales that hadn't left Hawaii yet for Alaska.

Tourist trap - Text message says check in at 10:40. No one comes out to greet you till 11 on the dot. Hour long ride of the shore just to turn around and come back and snorkel near the marina and hotel zone. Literally snorkeled in front of my hotel which is the so called turtle cove and only saw one turtle lol Waste of time and money
