Great snorkel trip with a history of the area - The snorkeling trip was amazing for my husband and I! We were able to pick up our gear quickly and they even offer prescription goggles! After meeting by the dock we got to get to know the crew and safety guidelines for the trip! Captain Warren and Tim shared so much history about the area - way more than we expected! It was truly amazing and we would book again in a heartbeat!

Great snorkel trip! - Snorkels were high quality, boat was new/clean, crew (Josh and Tim) were great—friendly, attentive. Snorkeling spot was one of the best I’ve seen in Hawaii. Lots of fish varieties…I even saw a reef shark!
Snacks (chips and fresh pineapple) and beverages were a nice touch.
Josh’s driving made me feel very safe. Tim was super helpful when getting us on/off the boat and in/out of the water.
Recommend!

Great Crew - I had a great experience! The crew was very laid back yet professional. Especially appreciate them for being supportive as I am not the best swimmer. I was provided the proper equipment and guidance to feel safe and have fun. Would definitely recommend as a first timer snorkeling experience.
