5.00Had an absolute amazing time on this adventure. Our family of 9 went and had a blast! The crew ensures that everyone feels comfortable and enjoys snorkeling. They were very informative and stopped to show us landmarks on the way back. Lunch was great and everyone had a blast jumping off the boat and going down the slide. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone!
Wow.

1.00We were given the wrong address. After receiving a call we were 30-35 minutes from our departure. No refund or rescheduling without a fee of $50 plus tax and then the company, Hang Loose Tours, refused to provide an address of the location to us. Just a pin. Happy anniversary to us.
Fun experience!

5.00Staff was very friendly and informative. Boat ride was smooth went well went but depends on the weather, about 50 ppl passenger total on the ride. They provided some snacks and lunch ( sandwiches/ fruit- pineapples). Snorkeling about 1.5-2 hrs was enough- saw plenty of fish and some spinner dolphins. The kids really enjoyed the diving board and slide.
We had a great time! My husband and I were ride all ga and our daughter and grand daughter snorkeld. The crew were great

A must snorkel tour on the big island

5.00This tour is a must for anyone visiting the big island. This tour allows families to snorkel in a calm cove that is like being in a swimming pool, but also stops to see sea caves and landmarks along the way. The captain and crew are wonderful by entertaining the guests and provide plenty of food and snacks .
Wonderful experience....
