Go For It!!!

Go for it....great for beginners, as well as, the experienced. Large boat with only 11 guests on a Monday. Also a small crowd at the dive location.

Snorkeling and exploring for families

Awesome experience. Perfect for a family. John and Scott were very nice and informative. Definitely do an early morning cruise. It got more busy as we were there. We went on a weekday morning and we had the boat to ourselves. The afternoon trip was full when we came back. We had considered doing a kayak trip but we made the right decision by going with Captain Cook. We have experience with kayaks but the adventure would have been stressful if we had gone that route. Many people were loosing control of the kayaks and endangering the reef. Boat was comfortable and safe. A variety of snacks and drinks to choose from. Snorkeling equipment and instructions were great. On the way back John and Scott showed us lava tubes and the shores that inspired Moana’s goddess scene. Highly recommend and would use again.
