Capt. Sam is Excellent - The crew was exceptionally helpful and determined to make sure we had a great experience. We enjoyed Mossy’s assistance with us in the water and the captain for his in depth knowledge about the island and the marine life. We did not want for anything while we were on the water. 10/10 would sail with Captain Sam again. Very grateful for his time and dedication to great service.

Incredible and unique experience! Highly recommend - We had an incredible experience with Captain Adriana and Kelsey! We were able to find a pod of dolphins which actually swam up to our boat to take a look at us (and observe us as much as we were observing them!) Kelsey did a fantastic job ensuring my 8 yr old daughter was safe as she snorkeled and saw the sea turtles and colorful fish. Afterwards we were able to view Diamond Head closer and take photos. Sitting on marine beanies, listening to great music and viewing the Waikiki coastline with my niece and daughter was special. The small group experience is unbeatable. We are very appreciative of Captain Adriana’s professionalism and warmth. I highly recommend this charter!

Highly Recommend - My boyfriend and I did this tour together. It was fantastic! The crew was very friendly, efficient, and safe. Taking the 7am tour was great because there were far fewer people in the snorkeling area. The boat ride to and from the snorkel area was fairly quick and comfortable. We saw several turtle while we snorkeled. Since it was such a small group, the team member helped to lead us around and pointed out fish and sea life as she saw them. We would highly recommend!

Impressive Turtle tour - Best experience on the island thus far. Sam and Ella were personable, talking to both of us. Sam has a lot of water jokes, some corny, but most were funny. I wore my new water shoes the day before this trip and had an open blister. When I asked how the flippers would affect this, Sam taped my toe.
We saw an awful lot of turtles, and we got so close to them that a few almost hit me.
I highly recommend this trip!!

Making memories! - We booked the small group turtle canyon snorkeling trip.
This was truly one of the highlights of our vacation. Sam and Kelsey found the perfect combination of entertainment and education.
We saw all the turtles, about a million triggerfish and even a pod of spinner dolphins.
Mahalo for this experience, we'll be back!
