Would do again, and again, and again,… - My husband and I booked the 2.5 hour turtle snorkeling cruise and it was amazing! Initially we booked the 10:30am slot, but the business notified us that over 40 people booked that time and only 4 people booked the 7 am slot. We were able to change our time to the 7 am slot with ease, and we were very pleased with being given the option. The 7am cruise, while early, was phenomenal. Our crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly chill. They communicated their guidelines clearly and ensured everyone on board would have a fun and safe time. We saw over 12 turtles during the early cruise, both sleeping in the "hotel" and coming up for air. Afterwards, we were taken on a dolphin cruise with the time we had left. All in all 20/10 experience. ALSO, please tip your tour guides! They are absolutely worth every penny and more.

Amazing experience! - If I could give this excursion more than 5 stars I would! It was incredible! The crew was super kind, helpful and friendly. The sailing ride was so much fun and snorkeling was an amazing experience, especially with all the assistance they offered. Core memory for me and my kids for sure! I wish i would remember the names of the crew, but I’d like to give a big shout out to a sweet kid (Hawaiian native) that made this experience even better. He engaged in conversations and share some beautiful experiences with us. Thank you all for an amazing time!

Early morning turtles - Quick trip to Turtle Canyon with lots of marine life and multiple turtles. As we boarded the 7am charter, we only had three boats over dive sites. Another bonus of the early trip is the crew actually have time to talk. They love this gig and it shows in their enthusiasm to make our experience a blast. Our biggest takeaway was to take the early trip, as limted crowds and gave us the rest of the day to explore other things.

Amazing Experience! - As a first time snorkler and someone with anexity I felt comfortable knowing there are several crew members in the water with you. And they ask you if you're ok often. They give you time to get used to the breathing method. It took time for my husband to get the hang of it but there was no rush. It was amazing to see all the schools of fish and turtles swim under you. Beautiful ocean waters. So happy we decided to participate in this activity and we had a wonderful experienced crew. We had an all women crew except for the captain that day. Mahalo!

Loved the boat ride, the staff was super friendly and helpful. We saw several turtles. Staff went out of their way too - The staff were great, they did all in their power to give us the best experience possible. We had high winds the day we when because of a hurricane about 400 miles away. Even with the extra chop my young son and teens were comfortable and felt safe in the water with the life guards and guides.

Yeah but nah - A small number of senior crew members (male) acted like the guests were a huge inconvenience and/or just couldn’t wait to be done with us. Lots of muttering, eye rolling and upfront borderline rudeness. I get it, people don’t listen and you have to repeat yourself day in and day out. But we haven’t done this tour before and also we are listening and we are not stupid. It totally soured the experience for me and was really surprising given the good reviews for this tour. On top of that, there was an uncomfortable push to tip (mentioned at start before we set off, and forced at end to walk past a tipping station) even though the website requires you to tip upfront when booking. A suggestion for others- if you’re going to do this or any other similar tour go early like 7am. We only saw a few turtles and sea life compared to friends who went early in morning.
