Solo Texan Lady - Beautiful afternoon on a very well kept catamaran, enjoying the scenery of the volcano. The dolphins were fantastic, we were able to see a pool of fish, turtles and starfish. The crew was amazing, friendly and very caring about each guests needs. The Hawainan Buffet was delicious, consisted of pork, chicken, rice, salad and fresh pineapple so happy I decided to go, it was a fun filled afternoon

Much aloha for the experience!🤙🏼 - The whole crew was amazing and made sure everybody was taken care of from beginning to end! Saw some dolphins on the way out as well as while we were snorkeling. Saw a bunch of different fish and some sea turtles as well! Probably ate too much food before jumping in the water, but the food was worth it! The photographer was awesome as well. She made sure that everybody got their fair share of pictures whether it be you and the family, snorkeling, etc. Can't thank the crew enough for a great experience with the family, much aloha!🤙🏼
