You will regret not doing this tour!! - Best part of our Hawai’i vacation!!! Austin was an excellent captain, super chill and laid back but was very professional when it came to passenger safety. Andrea, Whitney, and Sofia were very friendly and made the experience that much more memorable. If you don’t book this trip you will regret it. It was the most relaxing boat trip and snorkeling adventure. We saw turtles, dolphins and tons of fish. Best crew I’ve dealt with on a boat adventure! 6 outta 5 stars

From skeptic to big fan - We booked this snorkel and cruise experience once we saw that it launched right from our hotel making it super convenient. Personally, I am not a huge fan of swimming in the ocean. I went along more for my family but ended up enjoying the entire experience mainly due to an amazing staff. We were given concise instructions delivered in a light-hearted and chill vibe that put me at ease. The guide in the water was extremely knowledgeable and clearly enjoys sharing the experience with customers. The water was crystal clear and refreshingly warm. Saw lots of fish and turtles too. One surfaced right next to us that was estimated to be 60 years old. So cool! The snorkel hour was followed by a lunch on board and an enjoyable cruise along the coastline. The crew was very attentive to everyone's needs whether it was answering questions or refilling your drink. The boat was spotless, including the head. There was plenty of space to move about the boat regardless of the number people on board.

Great family experience - Had an awesome time with captain Nick and his crew. Easy adventure with our 9 and 11 year old children! They loved riding up in the front of the catamaran and seeing a few turtles on the snorkel!

Turtle/Snorkel Tour - Should be 5 out of five! My phone wouldn’t get me to 5. Crew was Nick, Nick and Brad. They were fantastic. Cold beverages (adult ones too) and great wrap for lunch. Oh- plus we saw turtles and hundreds of fish!

Average to Below Average - Experience was OK. Can’t say I fully recommend. We were in a smaller group and thought we’d get a more personalized experience and hands on assistance with trouble shooting through snorkeling gear etc. however, one of the members in our party had a leaky mask and was struggling quite a bit. Upon telling the members about it, they did not help or ask if a new mask would help. It was more of a “suck it up” response. They were nice and served drinks but really felt stand-offish when it came to actually assisting in ensuring snorkeling equipment was functioning properly. This really ruined our experience and id pick a tour where they provide more a more personalized approach to the snorkeling experience.
