Turtle snorkel tour - I was originally booked to go out on the catamaran that is docks at the Hilton Waikiki dock. I was called the morning of and told that they cancelled the tour due to lack of reservations/people scheduled to go out. I was given a later in the day option, a next day option or out of another harbor option. Due to my own scheduling needs I choose the other harbor. I had to take an uber to get there. Check in with the captain was fine. While riding out to our snorkel spot I sat toward the aft of the boat. Where a conversation was taking place between the captain and a friend of his that would be most akin to “locker room” talk. The conversation included discussing the captains current girlfriend’s physical attributes. This was very distasteful for someone in the hospitality industry. Lunch was provided on the boat and I had asked for a gluten free lunch. I was given two slices of turkey meat, with copious amounts of lettuce and one small piece of cucumber. I was not offered chips or anything else. The snorkel went well even though the visibility was not the best due to storms. We did see turtles and many fish.
