5.00What an incredible time my family and I had . Marco made this experience unforgettable , made my entire family feel safe and even got the two I didn’t think would snorkel to go in and they now love it . The location was full of fish , he showed us some other locations and was very knowledgeable, we learned so many facts . Seeing my family smiling , laugh and happy was everything I could have dreamed of .
Hands Down this is a Must Do island adventure!!

5.00We were in Hawaii for a work function the week of Oct 20th and had the privilege to go on the rafting excursion. Captain Marco and co-Captain Shannon were absolutely wonderful!!! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! They went out of their way to make sure we got to experience as much as possible from seeing dolphins to going to Red Hill. Captain Marco gave us a lot of info on the history of different places around the island and gave suggestions on places to go. I was a first time snorkeler and I felt safe the entire time. I would 100% recommend this adventure for everyone!!
Excellent tour, highly recommend!

5.00I really enjoyed this snorkeling tour, especially Rick and Devante. They made sure we were always safe and comfortable with our surroundings. They even suggested I move to another location when I was snorkeling as I wouldn't see as much. Only they would know! They knew so much when we threw questions at them. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and ask for Rick and Devante. Thanks for a great adventure, gentleman! -Alisa in Los Angeles

5.00My wife and I did the zodiac tour with snorkeling. It was amazing. The zodiac ride was fun and Marco (Captain) and Devonte (Crew) were fantastic. They did everything they could to make the guests feel welcome and calm. They used top quality snorkeling gear and the floats they give you allow you to hover above the reef and enjoy. They did not rush and their tours are arranged to take advantage of the times when other tour companies are not around. Good snacks and food. We only had 8 people on the Zodiac so there wasn’t any crowding. On the ride back we saw dolphins and visited so lava tubes. All in all it is well organized, professional and a great experience.
Best snorkeling trip ever!
