This was a very fun and... - This was a very fun and well run excursion. Great use of our vacation time! We loved all of the information the captain gave as we made our way to each snorkel spot. The food provided (breakfast: assorted pastries, fresh fruit. Snack: fresh vegetables. Lunch: pulled pork sandwiches and prepared deli sandwiches with potatoes salad and chips.) were all great and there was plenty! The snorkeling was amazing and my family and I really enjoyed each spot. Such a fun tour! Great crew too!

Good Experience - We had a great time, and the crew did an excellent job ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Originally booked on the Calypso, but due to dry docking, we were placed on the Quick Silver instead. While a bit disappointing, we understood the reasoning behind the change. Overall, the excursion was fantastic—snorkeling was a highlight, providing a memorable underwater adventure. The food, however, was average and could be enhanced. A more authentic Hawaiian culinary experience would elevate the trip and make it even more special. Despite the small letdowns, we still had a wonderful time and appreciate the effort put in by the team.

Disappointed we didn’t get The trip we booked for. - Booked for a trip on Calypso, but the trip was on Quiksilver. Totally different boat. Only 2 stories, not 3 that was advertised/booked. no slide, no glass bottom. Did not go to turtle town. I am disappointed that the trip we received is not what we booked and paid for.

The wrong boat - The boat in the picture was in dry dock or was planned to be. We were told but too late to book some where else. The first stop was great, the second stop was a turtle sight. We saw one turtle. the water was a bit murky and few fish. We stopped at another sight while driving our car and saw over twenty turtles. The crew was great the food was good but the boat was old and didn't have enough outside seating.

Snorkelling at molokini - The crew is very friendly. We unfortunately had very choppy water at the Molokini crater and unfortunately the crew made the decision to stay there. It was not safe to snorkel there with the water conditions. There should have been an alternate place to go. I would have rather gone snorkelling on the west side of the island where the water was much calmer. Also the turtle area had very few turtles (not the tours fault) but we saw many more turtles just driving around beaches on our own than we did on this tour.

Bait & Switch on the Online offer - Lunch was not that great. We ordered vegetable option but none of us were able to eat the sandwich which was really bad. Also, Actual ship on the advertised was changed without informing us. The ship was not as good as was advertised on the Viator page. Some of the staffs were very rude. Very disappointed.

Ummm…. Seating. - We sat on coolers for seating. The trip was not very comfortable to say the least. One of the coolers was falling apart and the staff had to put a towel on it.
