Great team on the boat, and the snorkel was very good. Really happy with our choice of boats too -- slide and jumping platform were very fun. Also, not overcrowded at all. Some other boats we saw there were PACKED with people. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The crew was so welcoming and kind, knowledgeable, and truly cared about you having the experience you’re looking for. I’d recommend this trip whole heartedly to anyone! Also the reef was stunning. We saw so many dolphins and fish. 10/10 day!

Wonderful adventure! The crew were all so friendly and helpful. The snorkeling was fantastic and the lunch was very nice. We also appreciated the bits of Hawaiian history sprinkled in throughout the trip. After this experience- we booked a Manta Ray night snorkeling trip with them.
