Worth It - 1 hour snorkeling with cool fish and saw 4-5 sea turtles—very cool. Other hour was getting to site and returning. Have life vests that are easy to swim with on. Newly renovated catamaran.

BEST EXCURSION - Sunset Cruise - We went on the sunset cruise. Anna and Krash, (and Sushi and Mana pups) were excellent guides. It was a rainy cloudy day and there wasn’t a notable sunset BUT they made the trip exceptional with turtle sightings and a spectacular visit from a momma and her baby humpback. The boat was comfortable (I usually get seasick but did not even feel a tinge) and the views were beautiful, great photo opportunities. They mixed in some interesting narratives and great music. We all had a GREAT time and highly recommend!!

Irresponsible team - Very disappointed with the experience I had… this is definitely not for beginners... when you are stuck somewhere, they fail to notice you and act swiftly … the captain is a very rude man who does not nothing but making you feel helpless.. the guide was constantly chatting with a few customers and did not pay attention to the ones who needed help.. if you have a kid, this is not the service you would want .. your child is definitely at risk ! I saw other agencies taking better care of children and beginners. These guys don’t check on you when you get off the boat nor do they keep track of what everyone in the group is undergoing while the activity is on… they don’t check if everyone is wearing the safety equipments the right way… what is the point in hanging around with expert snorkelers when they give a damn about the ones who need help.. my child was the only kid out there but they did not even pay the least attention to him.. this service is an absolute red flag! The captain was the only mean person I met in Hawaii ! What a disgrace to the state
