We had such an amazing time on the snorkeling tour! The crew were super friendly and fun, and the catamaran was so comfortable. The fresh pineapple and sandwiches were delicious, and we even got to see dolphins on the way back — such a perfect day!

Best snorkeling I had in Hawaii. Took the earlier trip; a lot of other boats at the site but there was plenty of room to enjoy the snorkeling. The crew of the boat was very friendly and attentive, ready to help with anything you needed to have a good experience.

The crew did a great job of getting us to the perfect spot for snorkeling. They were helpful, easy going and made the trip fun! They even put up a slide and a “diving” board. And they had a hot shower which was a huge bonus for me as I was so cold when I came out of the water! Lots of beautiful fish as you are right on the reef and at times you felt like you were swimming with them! Stopped to see a cave on way back and dolphins which added to trip. And two big turtles resting on dock! A great day.

Amazing tour! Snorkeling i loved , provided with all staff. I swim and like the ocean, but even if you never tried this - the best time to do this with this tour! Captain cook - overall unique variety of underwater nature and fish. So flexible outgoing guides, stopped to show dolphins and let us enjoy, the lunch is good and more than enough time. Love it! 5 star!
