Awesome snorkel experience - We had a great time snorkeling and highly recommend our trip! It was nice being with a small group and we saw lots of turtles and tons of fish! The water was amazing and the boat ride was short. I still recommend taking Dramamine for those that get sea sick even though the water was calm. We did a 9:00 a.m. Trip and morning time is the best for fewer people out there and water conditions.

Worth every second. Turtle sights and fast drive. - The guys running the operation were great! They were very easy going, drive was fast, they taught us cool things we must check out, learned some Hawaiian history and best of all saw sea turtles. We swam in a pool of fish and were given snorkel gear Finns and Hawaiian sodas.

Great Experience ! - We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will recommend this activity for family. It is a small group and the experience was great. The equipment are clean and hygienic. We opted for the optional photography by the diving assistants and the results are great.

Beautiful morning in Turtle Canyon - This was such a an amazing experience!! Loved that it was a small group. We have been on one other snorkeling excursion years ago and it was tons of people and they just handed the equipment and left us to fend for ourselves. Eric and Sophia made sure our equipment fit well and that we were comfortable. Sophia was in the water with us guiding us to prime spots to see turtles and taking photos. They were both so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend this tour for young families, novice snorkelers, or if you want to make sure you see turtles. The one on one attention was so worth it!! DEFINITELY DO THE 7am TOUR- cannot stress enough. We were the first boat out to Turtle Canyon and were the only ones in the area for most of the experience. Thanks for an amazing morning Eric and Sophia!!

Beware - Captain Max never showed up. Took our money and never showed up. No email or text as to why. Hoping we get refunded through trip advisors.

Terrible experience, do not book here. They’ll probably cancel on you anyway. - I’ve never written a bad review for anyone in my life. Whatever you do, don’t waste your time with this tour. I scheduled a tour for 7am Saturday ahead of time for my bf’s birthday. This was really the only thing we had planned to do since we were visiting his family here on the island. The day before, I got a message saying they had to cancel due to “maintenance”. They offered to reschedule us for another date/time. No big deal, I rescheduled for Monday 7am. I was aware of the 3 person minimum rule so I made sure that this other tour had enough people and wouldn’t be cancelled again. They assured me it had enough people and wouldn’t be cancelled. After moving all of our plans around to align for this new tour, they reached back out to ask if we wanted to actually do the original time. I declined since we had already changed other plans around. They reached out again to try and put us back on the original time. I declined again. Sunday night at 9:30pm, they messaged again saying they had to cancel again for “maintenance”. No offer to reschedule, just cancelled. Go with a different company, trust me.

Stay away- scam!!! - We booked 3 days ahead and were charged for trip. We arrived at dock and no one was there. We were then told that the boat had been out of the water for mechanical issues that week. We never received a call or follow up from the company even after calling and texting. What a disappointment and likely scam.
