Great experience - Our tour guide, Aron was phenomenal! My husband is a novice swimmer and he was extremely patient! He shared facts throughout the trip and even helped us get some great photos/videos of the turtle. The captain was experienced and made sure everyone on board was safe!

Amazing snorkeling experience - Snorkeling with Aaron and Captain Jeff was one of the best experiences I've had while in Oahu. They were professional, valued safety and were knowledgeable in all the areas with turtles. Would easily go out to sea with them again!

Amazing turtle experience! - Saw many different types of fish, multiple turtles, and even two sharks! A very cool experience and the guides were very helpful in finding the sea life for you to see.

Turtles! - Had so much fun snorkeling with turtles! The boat was really large and had plenty of room for seating. The views on the way were breathtaking and it was such a treat to see several turtles around us. Melissa and Kirk did a good job of ensuring our safety and pointing out where the turtles and other creatures (saw an eel and lots of fishes) were. I got tons of pictures with an underwater disposable camera and Melissa offered to dive a bit to get a really good shot. Can't wait to see how they turned out!

Not worth $$ - Not much. Thought we would see more turtles and other fish
The snorkeling equipment was sub par at least. Made for a bad experience

Not this time! - We went out on the water, and due to the weather there was no visibility. They ended up canceling. We were so sad, this was one thing I was really looking forward too while in Hawaii! They did refund us, much appreciated that!

Super but no support from the reception - The excursion was great but our experience ended there.
Before going on an excursion, we asked for a taxi at the reception on our return, because we have to quickly return to the hotel (because we only have Internet with our telephone). He tells us that in 5 years, no one had asked him that. That's no reason not to help us.
After the superb excursion, the person at the reception did not have time for us. After 15 minutes he gave us a phone number to call but it was not a taxi company. We searched from a computer available on site for a taxi company. We were able to call a taxi company and after 15 minutes no taxi. So we tried Uber and again it was difficult because it located us at Costco. After communicating with the Uber driver, he picked us up from McDonalds. We arrived late at the hotel. We were lucky that they didn't charge us for late checkout.
Why is it so hard to get a taxi!!!
