Really well organised. But be prepared for some standing around as groups are taken into the bay slowly. So have some water and a snack with you. Plenty of fish to see but it is very shallow. Highly recommend wearing a long body suit as sometimes the waves or currents will brush you up onto the reef. You are not meant to touch the reef so be extremely careful.

The driver was right on time and the ride to our destination was smooth. He gave a small tour on our way to Hanauma Bay and was very informative. It was our first time snorkeling and our driver gave excellent directions and tips on using the equipment and where to snorkel.

Prompt courteous service. Snorkeling was amazing. Saw a seal come ashore for a nap. Lots of fish. Definitely a must do.

We really wanted to enjoy snorkeling without the hassle of figuring out how to get admission tickets (which are nearly impossibly I found), or where to rent gear, or if we'd even be able to park if we did get there early enough for walk-in tickets. This booking just made everything "work." Sometimes you just pay for convenience and that is what this was plus a little more. The pick up and drop off was seemless- exactly as planned. Good communication throughout. Orlando, our driver, also acted as a tour guide as we made the drive- very nice and fun. Thank you Orlando! In terms of the snorkeling- it was really easy and a good time. Saw some cool fish, felt safe the whole time. The coral reef isn't some magical beautiful colorful thing like I imagined, but maybe I didn't go out far enough or whatever. Regardless- it was a great time. My 11/13/15 year olds all had a blast. And the beach is also nice for some downtime out of the water.
