Wonderful experience and top notch staff!! - Top notch guides and service. Lots of attention to detail and the food was FANTASTIC! Our kids loved the slides, seeing spinner dolphins, and the ocean life talk at the end. This was an absolutely amazing tour and staff from start to finish. Lots of great memories made!

8 to 80 - Saw a Peacock Grouper— thanks to Captain Dante. He really knows his fish.
We took our whole family ranging from 8 to 80. All had a memorable day on (and in) the water. We went with another family of 5 (12 all together), and it was smiles all around. Be sure to go down the slide and take the high dive off the side. The breakfast and lunch are both home-grown and delicious. The. crew are all very friendly and professional. You can probably find a less expensive snorkel trip, but this is the best and best value. Just do it!

Wonderful trip - The crew was fantastic, great snorkeling and the ride was nice. It was a really wonderful trip and the food was wonderful. There was also a pod of spinner dolphins sleeping in the bay. It was very fun to se them spin occasionally and swim around.

Awesome Snorkel - Awesome snorkel trip. First and foremost the bay where we snorkeled was amazing. The staff were all great. They were much less restrictive than some other tours, they just let you do you your thing as long as you stay in the bay. IThe food, vegan, was better than I was expecting. We went as a family with older teenage kids and it was perfect for us. My only complaint would be that the snorkels they give you are kind of old school, no floats or valves. Maybe that’s intended to try and keep new snorkelers on the surface. I wouldn’t think twice about doing this tour again.

Great trip, vegan menu not a hit. - Wonderful family outing with something for everyone. Comfortable ride, excellent snorkeling, experienced staff, pristine snorkeling waters, high dive and slides are a big hit and there is easy safe entry by way of the stairs. Only problem is the vegan menu. We noticed many people were not enjoying it and none of the kids ate it. Please bring back the grilled burgers and dogs, the warm egg frittatas, fresh fruit and muffins!
The Kona coffee is still excellent.

Great Trip, Did not care for the Vegan Food - Overall, a great experience. The snorkeling and snuba are some of the best in the world. The boat is perfect for the trip, easy in/out of the water from the rear steps. The dive platform was also a lot of fun. But, the food. It is not good. The oatmeal tastes like tuna salad. The vegan lunch left a lot to be desired. We went on this same trip 20+ years ago and the grilled hamburgers back then were amazing. Now, the food is disappointing.
