Hawaii Apex Charters - Holli and Phillip were exceptional and very fun. They are great guides and did a great job showing us green sea turtles at Turtle Canyon, plenty of different types of fish and dolphins to top it all off.

Great time! - Phillip was great. We saw turtles, manta rays, and dolphins! Highly recommend. It was great to be on a smaller private boat vs being packed like sardines in a big commercial boat.

Snorkel without the crowds! - Private snorkeling! Avoid the crowds and book with apex! We did both and enjoyed this one so much more! We got to see a turtle, sharks, fish, and even whales! Philip and Holly were great! Walking distance from Hilton Village.
