Excellent Afternoon Snorkeling Trip - The crew was very attentive. The snorkeling equipment was in good condition. On the trip out to the snorkeling spot we relaxed on bean bags on the netting and saw flying fish. We went to a calm spot by Honolua Bay. We saw tons of fish and a few turtles. On the trip back there was an open bar and delicious food. The crew kept coming around offering refills. In other snorkeling trips I’ve done, the crew got into the water and pointed out fish & different things. The crew stayed on the boat and just watched us swim. But it did seem like they were making sure everyone was safe in the water.

Great excursion - This was a great experience. The crew was very mindful of time, clear with announcements, very attentive and friendly. The trip out and back was relaxing and smooth, and the location where we moored to snorkel was pretty. We were given an hour for snorkeling, but most of the participants actually came back to the catamaran after 30 min to relax and start to eat/drink. The food was great and the drinks were lovely. The catamaran is very well maintained and very clean.

First timers for snorkeling! - My family and I were able to see some beautiful tropical fish as well as a sea turtle. It was our first time ever snorkeling. Our son who's 7 was able to navigate around the reef pretty well. The crew was very friendly! Luke was super attentive. Highly recommend!

Nice boat ride with a friendly crew but couldn't snorkel - The boat lost an engine, so we were unable to get to the location we needed to go for snorkeling. After an hour 1/2 windy ride, it was a big disappointment. We had to get into small boats to be taken back to shore, but the crew were all helpful and made it go pretty easy. The food and drink was as described and good, and the crew was very service oriented. We received a prompt refund which was appreciated. It would have all been great if we could have snorkeled.
