This was hands down one... - This was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip to Hawaii! From start to finish, the crew made us feel safe, welcome, and excited to be out on the water. Captain Mitch did an amazing job getting us to the best snorkeling spots while making the trip fun and informative. Diego was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. A huge thank you to Tamae for capturing such an incredible video of our adventure it’s something we’ll treasure forever! The snorkeling was absolutely unbelievable. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, a Hawaiian monk seal, beautiful coral reefs, countless colorful fish, and even reef sharks! It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, don’t hesitate you won’t regret it. The crew went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mahalo, Mitch, Diego, and Tamae, for giving us memories we’ll never forget!

Last minute booking - Great crew, very informative on marine wildlife. We saw dolphins, turtles, and even a monk seal. We were able to swim with a manta ray that was feeding during the day, rare occurrence. We had a great time and could not have asked for a better experience.

Great Dolphin viewing and excellent crew - Nick, Trevor and Tamae were all awesome. They knew exactly where to park the boat to watch a pod of dolphins swim right by us. We didn’t get to snorkel in their favorite spot because Trevor said it was a little too rough so I appreciate him making the executive decision of safety over entertainment. They were all very friendly and worked very well with our children when helping them get into and out of the water. We would 100% go out with them again.

Terrific Tour! - Trevor, Manu and Diego were fabulous. Site had many more fish and corals than Capt Cook's. Equipment was great quality. Sharing of videos for free was unexpected (we tipped). Parking was excellent. Trevor's safety announcement was entertaining.

Awesome snorkel time. - This was a fun experience! We got to drive off and go look for dolphins. Luckily on our trip we were able to see them. We then boated out to a snorkel area. We didnt get to see any turtles but it was still very pretty. There were lots of fish as well. The guides were amazing and very friendly. They also provide cold drinks and some snacks. You can bring your own items on if you would like as well. The other great thing is that the boat is completely covered so most of the people are out of the sun. Of course one side gets sun depending on when you are going our and where the sun is. It was a lot of fun! My group of 15 had a blast!!

Fun in the sun ☀️ - I took a 2pm tour, we didn't spot any dolphins, but we did see many vibrant fish and a beautiful sea turtle. Tamae was wonderful, making sure everyone was well taken care of and our safety was a top priority. It truly was a delight to be in the water!

Great experience - Was a great experience snorkeling. Guides and crew were awesome. We didn’t see any dolphins but snorkeled off a fantastic reef. Would have given 5 stars had we seen dolphins.
