Turtle Bay Snorkeling. - We had such a great time snorkeling with the turtles! The day started off really well—the driver was on time and in the correct location. The only small suggestion (not really a complaint) would be to let guests know the exact pier and gate ahead of time, as we were just dropped off without much direction. The boat itself was beautiful and very clean. The staff was fantastic—friendly, professional, and they gave clear directions along with a thorough safety briefing. The ride out to Turtle Bay was absolutely beautiful, with great music that really set the vibe. It also wasn’t crowded, which made the experience even better. The snorkeling was amazing! We saw tons of fish and even spotted two turtles, which was definitely a highlight. Afterward, the light lunch was perfect—just what we needed after being in the water. Captain Nick took us a bit farther out, and we were lucky enough to see whales, which made the day even more special. Huge shoutout to the crew—Hadley and Andrea were wonderful. Hadley even joined us in the water, which made the experience feel more personal and fun. Overall, it was an excellent day with an incredible crew. Highly recommend!

Dolphins, snorkel and more - We had the best time! We were pleaaantly surprised to book with our entire group and on this trip we were the only ones. We loved being able to see a different part of the island and seeing dolphins along the way was amazing!

Very fun for all our family from age 3 to 86! - Dolphins swam beside the boat and the children were delighted. We had three children and one teen in our group and they really enjoyed snorkeling. And Captain Dave and Ian and Quin were very patient with the two senior citizens in the group who had never snorkeled before.

Totally worth it! - It was a beautiful trip! We only had about 20 people and that was perfect! The crew was so nice and knowledgeable about the area. We got to see a lot of spinner dolphins but sadly, no sea turtles. The weather was gorgeous and I could have stayed out there all day! Would definitely recommend!

Horrible experience. I do NOT recommend - The views of the coastline were wonderful! We did see a huge pod of pilot whales. No dolphins. We were on the boat cruising for 2 hours out and then we turned around to go back almost to where we started. Then, we snorkeled for 15 minutes. Saw 1 turtle and a lot of tiny fish. Nothing spectacular. 😥 I had no experience in snorkeling, no instructions were given🤔 Of course, I was a little frightened. After I was in the water, my life vest was up high. I got out. I was encouraged to get back in... With assistance from Quinn. The captain was rather uninterested, and not engaging. I got sick after a few minutes and Quinn helped, but no assist getting out... I had dry heaves....ugh. Breakfast was crummy and sparse. A few grapes, 4 Strawberry's and tiny piece of pineapple bread... Megan, crew member was engaging and kind. She was the ONLY crew member that connected with me. We had a nice convo. I would not recommend this tour company. One sea turtle, no dolphins, and sparse # of fish😔
