5.00We arranged for this through the Moana Surfrider Concierge, and it did not disappoint. The following staff members were introduced and performed like a family, making the tour comfortable and fun. Whales were out do that was a bonus, and the “Turtle Hotel” as it’s lovingly called was busy with 7 turtles in “residence”! Dez: the 1st mate Keala: deck hand and water tour guide Tony M, deck hand Kaitlyn, bar tender and tour guide in the water Kani: Captain The “show” included all the catamaran management, blowing the conch shells to get the swimmers attention, and serving our needs whether ingenue or experienced swimmer/snorkeler. Highly recommend d this tour and this boat and crew. You will not be disappointed!
Good Option! Friendly staff!

3.00Boat was super clean and well run. Was disappointed that there were so many other boats in the same area at the same time. I felt like I was constantly worried about running into someone else. Due to so many boats they had to “Corral” us into a confined section of the vast ocean to see the turtles. We did see one turtle!! All the tours were doing this same thing. Snacks were only granola bars, pop and water. Could purchase drinks onboard. Great female staff! Did a good job within their limitations.
Best crew ever

5.00Beautiful navigation handset and met wildlife. The Canyon turtle looks so close to the beach and yet we are like in the middle of the ocean. Great view of the shore, good waves Staff alert, friendly and available in addition to being competent.

5.00Thank you Claire, Jenna, and Dez for your hospitality and good vibes! We had an amazing time snorkeling with the turtles and fish. Claire dove down and showed us a sea urchin as well! There were granola bars and juice complementary. If you wanted alcoholic drinks those were an extra cost. I suggest you bring some snacks since you'll get hungry after swimming. And please, don't go if you don't know how to swim. The ocean is choppy and you'll need to swim around to see the different reefs. The tour guides are there to help you, but it's not fair for them to have to tow you around because you don't know how to swim. And I would not say it's safe for little children, seriously, just go swimming on the beach with the little ones!
You gotta do this!

5.00This was so much fun! Dek, Clara, Phoenix, and the whole crew were the most friendly and awesome people. Dek even dove down and grabbed an urchin for us to look at. Will totally do this again. Also their boat and all their gear are top notch and they got us setup and in the water fast. Finally on a last note, they use Konch Shells as horns when they come and go from the beach which is so awesome! Sorry if I butchered the spelling of your crew’s names! I’ll be back!
