Would definitely do again! - This was a fun, relaxing and very well organized excursion, highly recommend!! They covered everything from food to sunblock to water toys, boards, slide, noodles and snorkel gear. Large clean vessel to cruise on for a memorable morning. The crew took great care of us and were a pleasure to work with. Cannot rate this experience any higher. Book it!

Great crew and awesome experience - The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Thank you to Jordan for setting up the cruise, the process was seamless. The entire crew was extremely helpful and friendly and they made us a delicious lunch. We snorkled in a great area with lots of fish. Also, got to see a number of whales and spinner dolphins. Highly recommend the adventure if you are looking for a boat cruise.

Would do this again! - This was our highlight during our time on Hawaii. The snorkeling was beautiful with plenty of fish to see. If snorkeling turns out to not be your thing, there are plenty of other options including inner tubes, stand up paddle boards, a water slide and a high jump. The food was great. We were blessed enough to see whales and dolphins on our cruise back to the port. Most importantly the staff was fantastic. They were incredibly friendly, fun and serving. They loved to serve the guests however they could. This was a great experience!

Best snorkeling and overall boat trip in many years on this Island - Excellent trip, crew, equipment and boat - Overall, this was a great value. The snorkeling itself was good as the reef and fish are coming back (since the bleaching years back) to the spot we went, and we had plenty of time to snorkel and eat lunch. The trip was wonderful; by luck we saw 2 humpback whales close by breaching, which was amazing and and a huge added bonus; this is the migration time of year. The captain stopped the boat for a short time so we could see them come up again as this was on the way to snorkeling. Overall, the view was always wonderful along the coast. The food was good, the service excellent, there was a great crew. The boat seemed new and incredibly clean, and the snorkeling equipment was definitely new and totally clean and fit well - this is rare in my experience. The crew was wonderful, and the captain told stories and history throughout the cruise. Also, dolphins herded us back part of the way!! I Highly recommend this boating company and particular trip!!

Wonderful Christmas Day Cruise - My husband and I took our family of 14, 4 kids + spouses and 4 young grandchildren (ages 6,4,3,2) on this cruise. It was a lot of fun for everyone. We saw bottle nosed & spinner dolphins and some whales. The spinner dolphins investigated us while we were anchored so we also got to see them swimming underwater! We also saw some pretty colorful fish while snorkeling. We pushed the little ones on the viewing boards, some of us rode the paddle board, some jumped off the platform, and most everyone went down the slide. Food and drinks were very good, and the crew was excellent.

Great snorkel cruise - My boys and I had a great time with the crew on this snorkel cruise. The snorkel spot was great along with the slide and high dive from the boat! Crew was fun, helpful, and knowledgeable. Didn't see dolphins until the very end of the excursion but glad we got to see some!
