Great crew especially Sushi the dog. Crash, Shannon and Lucy were friendly and hard working - made us feel safe. Easy to park in the harbor to board. Price was reasonable. My family enjoyed it.

This is a must do experience while in Honolulu! The crew (George, John and Captain Kareem) were fun, informative and kind. We saw so many turtles and tropical fish. They assisted those with children and people who weren’t strong swimmers. Ali this boat has restrooms and they provide drinks and snacks. Highly recommend!

We saw turtles 5 or more times during our outing. Lucy and Joe were great, everything went really smoothly getting in and out of the water. If you get sea sick easily the trip out can be a little rough so come prepared. All the equipment was in good condition.

This was the BEST snorkeling experience ever! The crew was knowledgeable, funny, friendly and helpful! My first trip to Hawaii was made even better by ending it with seeing beautiful fish, several sea turtles and even flipper dolphins on our trip back in. Shannon, Lucy and Captain Greg were great! Book with them!
