5.00Captain Greg, Shannon and Lanie made the day fabulous! All three were welcoming, funny, personable, and professional. The snorkeling was absolutely phenomenal. We saw many sea turtles above and below us. Shannon was so knowledgeable on the many different fish, sea life and the ocean. She was able to point out and catch a star fish and octopus for all to hold or touch. Even saw a little shark (harmless) below. The day was beautiful. Thank you to the captain and crew. Great price for the adventure. Smaller group which was really nice.
Beautiful and fun

5.00This was one awesome experience. We saw a turtle minutes after Captian Krash anchored. Holly and Margaret were amazing guides navigating us to a group of 7 turtles. So many fish as well! After snorkeling Krash also took us to a near-by pod of dolphins before heading back to shore. Would definitely recommend this trip and would even go again. Mahalo to Krash, Margaret and Holly for a great trip!
