Chill crew & Chill snorkeling - Crew was cool. The ride over was fun. We went at 8am and it was too crowded. Pretty good snorkeling saw some eels, reef sharks, and lots of fish. The sea urchins in this spot are massive. If you like to snorkel check out this spot. Better to take a boat than to hike in my opinion.

Great time - It was so much fun, the crew was great and we saw lots of fish. We enjoyed the stories about the history of Hawaii. Take sunblock for sure … you do not realize how quickly you can get a sunburn on your back and the back of your legs..lolo

Great Snorkel Experience! - I had a great time with the crew on the boat and an awesome experience I'm the water! I did both the night Manta Ray experience and the Captain Cook's memorial snorkel, and I would highly recommend either one or both.

A Must-Do Snorkeling Adventure with Fantastic Value - The crew was absolutely fantastic, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. The snorkeling gear provided was top-notch, making the underwater adventure even more enjoyable. The complimentary snacks, drinks, and sandwich lunch at the end of the excursion were a delightful bonus. The bay was teeming with diverse marine life, and the two hours spent there were just perfect for soaking up the beauty of the underwater world. I can't recommend this tour enough—it offers incredible value without the need to spend extra on pricier alternatives.

Best snorkeling cruise on Island - Josh was our captain and he did a great job setting expectations and telling us the history of the Island. The crew was also excellent. The snorkeling was the best I ha e ever done. An abundance of fish and multiple species. Crystal clear water and excellent visibility. We also saw a Octopus and Spinner Dolphins. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. Mahalo.
