Good 3-hour tour!

Captain Mike told a great story about Captain Cook’s death. Snorkeling was fun! Got to sail with the engine off for about 20 mins. Enjoyed the cash bar after snorkeling!
Great time, highly recommend!

Great experience! Our little one didn’t love the snorkeling portion (age 5), but she’s also never done it before and wasn’t used to salt water (stung her eyes). That aside, crew was great and would highly recommend this tour!!
Great snorkeling trip

This was a great trip. The catamaran was immaculate and not even a year old. The staff were attentive and friendly. They shared some of the Hawaiian folklore. Lots of fish to see whilst snorkeling
Delightful Afternoon Sail and Snorkel

Spent a lovely three hours on a well maintained vessel with a crew that was very professional and knowledgeable and who also clearly like what they do. Saw an amazing amount of sea life in a beautiful setting. Will absolutely recommend this excursion to others.

I don't even know where to start the list of great things about this tour. The captain and crew were awesome - friendly and fun and knowledgeable. They treated us all soooo well the whole time - food, drinks, information, and making sure we were all safe. We saw whales and dolphins which was totally a bonus for this tour. The snorkeling was fantastic. I saw a lot of fish and the reef was gorgeous. It really was a wonderful experience. I recommend it without a single reservation.
Great experience!

This was a GREAT experience. There were 4 crew members and they were all fun and fabulous (I’m not great with names but Alex and Elle were awesome!). We saw lots of whales and even some up close, which was a bonus! We saw so many gorgeous fish while snorkeling and heard a bit about the history. I highly recommend this trip!
Highly recommend

New boat, very professional nice crew. What we expected. Not like the old days when snacks were not pringles and orange slices. I recommend to take your own snacks.
Other than that it is a nice time.
