Great for whole family! - This was so much fun! We saw so many dolphins, two sea turtles, fish, and went jumping off a rock into the ocean. Amazing! We had a 4 yr old who stayed on the boat with a life vest provided by them with myself or my husband while the kids enjoyed the ocean and jumping. The staff were fantastic…knowledgeable, funny, and caring. Highly recommend!!!!

Great experience! Highly recommend! - This was a great tour! The guides were super nice & laid back. The views & water were absolutely beautiful! We didn't see many fish, etc. which was fine with me. Definitely worth the money & much less crowded than the busy tours in Waikiki.

Dolphins, Turtles and Sharks, what fun! - My husband and I had a great time! We saw dolphins and a turtle on the ride out to Waimea Bay. We had plenty of time to snorkel and explore the area. Our tour was mixed in with a couple that were swimming with sharks so we got to see Galapagos sharks up close! Fantastic way to end our tour! The guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was as safe as possible and had a good time.

The best part of our trip! - Swells were too big to do a marine life snorkeling tour so they offered to take us out for a shark swim at no extra cost and it was incredible. The crew was knowledgeable and confident and put a couple of anxious minds in our group at ease. It was a beautiful experience and we were so happy it worked out the way it did. We highly recommend this local business!

Exhilarating boat ride - Family with teenagers had a good time. This is more aptly described as an exhilarating boat ride with an opportunity to snorkel. You WILL get wet. YOU are responsible for waterproofing valuables- leave everything in the car, bring a ziplock for the phone if you choose to bring it. Would have liked to get more info about what we were seeing, topography, fish. Dolphins, etc. The captain and first mate were very friendly.
