Excellent adventure! - The crew was amazing. They knew a lot and found turtles and colorful fish to watch. Snorkeling was easy, and they gave us plenty of time to explore. The right back was spectacular. Bravo!

Excellent Time! - Crew was helpful and fun! Crew was great at directing us to the turtles and helping anyone drifting away from the group! I would definitely book with them again if I return to Hawaii.

We did this experience on... - We did this experience on our last day in Hawaii and it was so worth it. Fun getting picked up from the beach, a short cruise out to the snorkel spot, and then a lovely calming sail and great photo opportunities on the way back. We saw so many turtles and the crew was fun and safe. We had great weather which helped too!

A must do - I had a wonderful time aboard the Hawea. The crew was amazing and knowledgeable. I was pleasantly greeted on the beach and given a drink ticket. I saw turtles, dolphins and many fish it felt like I was swimming in an aquarium. After the swim we sailed around to diamond head while I enjoyed a very tasty Mai Tai. All of these things added up to an experience I will always remember and share with others. Well worth the money

Just okay - Staff was nice and glad we were on a nice boat. The snorkeling itself was that amazing and not the best that Hawaii has to offer. We were almost done with our experience before getting to see a turtle and when we finally did every tour group out in the area swam over to the same area too. There is also not a ton of other things to see in the water which can make it not super exciting as you are waiting to hopefully see a turtle.
