Joey, Clay, and Natalie... - Joey, Clay, and Natalie were phenomenal hosts. The vibes were great and they treated us like family. Once we were in the water Natalie was very helpful as a guide and made our time very enjoyable.

Appreciated that it... - Appreciated that it wasn’t a typical booze cruise. Great boat and crew. Very good lunch and, yes there were very good drinks. Given different passengers it could have been a party, but the crew responded well to a more family oriented atmosphere. Our snorkel time was short on turtles (no fault of the crew) and was made up with beautiful fish and whales. A great time and we will be going again on our next time here.

Went for the snorkeling, saw some whales! - Great, experienced crew. The water wasn’t super clear that day but good enough to see several sea turtles and fish. Bonus… we saw a couple of humpback whales during the boat ride and the captain did a great job trailing them for a bit so we could all enjoy seeing them. Highly recommend this trip!

Book them for the best time! - This was by far one of our best highlights of the trip! The boat crew was by far amazing and definitely made the trip a blast. We was able to see a whale, turtles (multiple), Dolphins (multiple) and an insane amount of colorful fish. I'd have booked this again if we had more time on the island. I highly recommend them!

It was such an amazing... - It was such an amazing experiment. Our crew was hospitable, professional and knowledgeable. We were separated into two groups when we got to the snorkeling area. Us non-swimmers stayed near the boat so ensure safety, those who knew how to swim were able to swim to where the turtles are. Their service was 10/10. We will definitely be back!

A really nice way to... - A really nice way to chill out in the Ocean. The crew was very helpful and friendly. The only downside was that once we got into the water, it became very crowded not only because of our own group but also due to all the other ones. Sometimes it didn't feel very safe.

Relaxing and friendly crew - It was a mellow reintro back to the waters for me and my family. Even though I stayed on the board I saw a turtle gliding under me, after all the commotion of others left. And my family went to see the turtles and they saw them. Only reason I wouldn’t give a 5 stars is that if you’re experienced snorkeler this might be too relaxed for you. And my kids complained about the snorkels not fitting properly. Overall it was a relaxing way to get back into the ocean after a couple of years of not being in it and having health issues. Mahalo!
