Great dolphin watching experience! - I joined by myself, but even if it was my first time snorkeling and I was not familiar with swimming, I had a lot of help from instructors Yuji and Joanna, who lent me a floating ring! It was a great day to see dolphins, turtles, stingrays, whales and more!

Oahu snorkel cruise 🐋 🏝️🐬 - I brought my mom and 2 teenage girls on this cruise and it exceeded our expectations by a large margin! The entire crew was amazing and beyond helpful. Between captain Stef, photographer Yuya, deck crew Lucas, and first mate Tim, we were in excellent hands. They were knowledgeable about the land, water, sea creatures, boat, snorkeling, safety, and more. We saw an abundance of humpback whales and spinner dolphins from the boat. When we snorkeled, we saw a starfish and several other small sea creatures. Following the snorkel, we heard humpback whales singing. The crew played the live singing through the speakers on the boat. Pretty sure there were baby whales singing along. 🐋 It was absolutely beautiful! I will come back next time I’m in town. Thanks so much for such a wonderful and unique experience!

So many dolphin families! - The team went above and beyond to sail further into the sea and found so many dolphins swimming around us. Shantele is such a humorous and considerate captain; Tim explains a lot about animals (oh yes we also saw a Mahi-mahi); Bryan keeps you slide safe while taking good pics of you; Joanna quickly points to us where the whales are. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience!

Spinner dolphins, monk seals - We saw spinner dolphins which gave us quite a show. There was more then 50 of them swimming right next to the boat but we weren’t lucky enough to swim with them, their behavior wasn’t for swimming with them that day. We also saw 3 monk seals which are endangered species, there is only about 1600 of them left in the world. We also swam with turtles which was fun. The crew nailed it, they did great in every way.
