Great experience - We had a great time. They provided reef safe sunscreen, so you didn’t have to worry about that. Plenty of space on the boat for us to sit and feel comfortable. The crew were nice, knowledgeable, and attentive to any needs. The snorkel gear was great. I loved the options of the floats, life vests for kiddos, intertubes, and view boxes. The steps going into the water made it so easy getting in and out with my daughter. I couldn’t imagine having to climb a ladder with her. This is a great option for families or people with any types of disabilities.

Awesome. - Been in a few excursion type trips like this. These guys were the best so far. The crew make it easy, make you feel welcome and dont treat you, as tourists, are more of a nuisance. They make it fun and informative. Snorkeling was amazing (best I’ve ever done) and playing on the boat with the dives and slides was a blast for me and our kids. Malachi specifically made the high dive fun egging us on and putting on a clinic.
Coming back we got to see Manta Ray and they slowed down and let us enjoy it.
Great trip. Will do again.

Stair into and out of water. So easy. - The BEST THING is that there is a staircase down into the water on the back of the boat so we (ages 84 and 76) had no trouble getting into and out of water. For you young things, there are two water slides and a diving platform. The crew and office staff are lovely, fun and careful. We love to snorkel and this is our third time on this tour. They have a morning tour that has longer snorkeling and lunch. All tours have alcohol served after snorkel time. Nice boat, clean bathrooms on board and on shore. A great price too.

Colorful fish, amazing. - The colorful fish were amazing. All crew were very helpful and friendly. Is a long sail to get to the destination. Surprised there is no colorful coral there as well.

Best Time Snorkeling! - I had the best time snorkeling with my son. The crew was awesome and we felt like we were in good hands. The snorkeling went by so fast - we could have stayed another hour or so and still had loads of fun!
Mahalo!

Fun Time! - The boat ride awesome! Staff were great and truly awesome. I think people sliding down the slide made the water too blurry to see some parts of the coral.
