Wonderful Experience! - We had a wonderful experience with Sam and Ella as our guides. Ella’s knowledge of and passion for the turtles were great. Both she and Sam “read the crowd” and knew how much each of us could handle, and were able to answer all of our questions. They both were kind and enthusiastic about the turtles, the ocean and Hawai’I in general. It was wonderful having a small group and ours was very diverse as far as snorkeling experience goes. Sam and Ella handled that perfectly. We would definitely recommend a snorkel tour with HOC!

Turtles and Dolphins, Brilliant - Great day on the water with Sam and his offsider (sorry, forgot his name). From the time we got on the boat we had a fantastic experience. They guys were friendly, knowledgeable and fun.
We were able to find the green sea turtles, 8 - 10 on the day then on the way back a pod if Spinner Dolphins.
The small group (6 in total) experience was the best way to experience the turtles.
If you are going to do this experience these are the guys to do it with.

We had so much fun... - We had so much fun snorkeling. Everyone on the crew was super chill and knowledgeable. Haley was our guide in the water. You could tell she was in her element and loved what she did. I would highly recommend booking with this crew. We even got to seem some spinner dolphins.

Amazing Experience - We had an amazing time on this turtle tour! We saw so many turtles, which was absolutely incredible. On the way to the turtle spot, we even spotted dolphins - such a special moment!
During the tour, we also saw a pufferfish, a small reef shark, a cute octopus, and lots of beautiful fish. There was so much to see the whole time.
The crew was super friendly - the two guys were great and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. The instructions were clear, and everything on the boat was well organized.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend this tour!

Small group & Fun crew = A Great Time! - Smaller boat and a friendly crew make the experience much more fun! Captain Sam and crew were super helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining. Only 15 people in the group made it much more personal and chill. Absolutely LOVED our snorkel tour.

Great turtle snorkeling! - The snorkeling was excellent. Tons of fish and we were fortunate to see 8+ turtles swim around us.
Note: TripAdvisor told us the wrong meeting dock so we missed the tour. The company was good enough to put us on the next tour out. Make sure to confirm the dock prior.
