There is NO Boat involved with this tour. Actual snorkel time is roughly 45 min-60 min.

Snorkeling - Keoni was an excellent and personable guide. The bay was fun to navigate and we were excited by our encounters with the green sea turtles, which Keoni (of course) had guaranteed beforehand.
The experience is very easy to recommend to others. Mahalo!

A fun adventure! - I chose this adventure because it was only 2 hours, and it was off the shore, not a boat. I was taking my 7 yo grand-daughter for her first snorkeling experience and didn't want to overwhelm her the first time. She loved it, it was the perfect length to introduce the sport of snorkeling. Our guide George made the experience a five star, he is fun, helpful, and takes his time with first timers. In our small group of 5 women, I was the only one who had snorkeled before.

Brett was outstanding! Great experience! - Brett was an outstanding tour guide! He did a great job prepping us for what we were going to experience, he taught us about the fish we might see and he was a lot of fun. He made sure we all had the right equipment and offered us additional equipment (wet suit tops and prescription goggles) to make sure our experience was comfortable! It was clear he highly valued our safety as he went over safety rules a couple of times and made sure we understood what we needed to do to stay safe. There was a 10 year old in our group - she did great!! We saw lots of turtles and colorful fish. Brett shared a couple of unique ocean creatures with us - brought them up on a boogie board for us to look at and he went out of his way to find a shell that my daughter wanted to see. Thank you Brett!

Great time! - Anna was awesome! She was very patient with us and pointed out any interesting fish she saw. We ended up seeing a monk seal on the beach and swam with a green sea turtle! Would definitely do again!

Brett was awesome - Brett did an outstanding job of fitting us properly with all the best equipment - offering prescription goggles that made it possible for me to see underwater was an unexpected plus. Also offering a wet suit top to keep us more comfortable was unexpected. He did such a great job explaining what to expect - teaching us about the fish we might see and even included a couple of tutorials while we were in the water on cool things we’d never have noticed or known. He was exceptionally aware of safety features and has set up his safety procedures in a way that lets us explore but keeps us safe. Can’t say enough good things about working with Brett for this excursion! Mahalo

From age 15-80, all enjoyed it! - Great fun. Pretty choppy but Shane was great with our group. Lovely fish and particularly loved the Christmas wrass and tiny blue boxfish.

Great first time... - Great first time experience snorkeling! They were super helpful, and knowledgeable! I was nervous going in at first and our guide helped me to relax and feel comfortable! We swam around and saw lots of fish, eels, and other animals, she even brought some creatures up for us to look at and hold! We didn't end up seeing turtles, but she gave us a tip on where to see them later on in our trip! Great experience, and I would definitely recommend it for a first time snorkeling experience!

Fun time for a few hours. Lots to see underwater. - Super chill and easy for just about anyone. Having the board for a homebase makes this snorkeling experience easy for all. The entrance into the water can be a little tricky if you step on rocks instead of the sand patches. Our guide Shane was great, and always made safety #1 and fun a close 2nd.
