Krash, Lucy and Margaret were amazing. Krash was a fun and knowledgeable captain. Margaret and Lucy did fantastic guiding the group through Turtle Canyon. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were an added bonus! Mahalo from Vermont!

Very good excursion. Yes, you did see turtles. One came up for some air in the middle our group. Actually, we enjoyed swimming among the various schools of fish. At least 10 different varieties of fish, all different colors, sizes, and types. A very worthwhile trip experience.
