Adventurous Tour with Kind Staff! - I would definitely recommend this tour, if you’re looking for a fun and intimate experience that doesn’t feel “touristy.” Lily and Emma were so genuinely kind and laid back and made it a great experience. It’s definitely better for the more adventurous- the boat ride is exhilarating and you dock near a large rock to jump off. Would not necessarily recommend for kids, my grandmother came with us and it was a little much for her but Lily and Emma set up a tube for her to float which was very considerate. The area has beautiful coral but sadly when we went didn’t see much marine life. Very easy check-in process and you can park literally right in front of the boat. It’s a very small group so felt safe and intimate.

Fun from beginning to end. - Amazing tour. Even the boat ride to get there and back was a blast. And don't hesitate to do a little cliff jumping if you get the chance! Such a very fun crew and a beautiful place to snorkel. We'd do the whole thing again in a heart beat.

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!!!!

Dolphins, sea turtles, and a sting ray! - Was an amazing morning for snorkeling! We saw hundreds of dolphins on the way out and saw a stingray and sea turtle while snorkeling. Would definitely go again.

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.

Unfortunately disappointed - Unfortunately a little disappointed at our overall experience. I am not one to write bad reviews, but as someone who’s been on several snorkeling tours in Hawaii over the years, I was definitely expecting a little bit more involvement from the staff. Once we got to the snorkeling spot, all of the staff stayed in the boat and hung out together and on their phones and just waited while we snorkeled. Didn’t feel much engagement, particularly from the female staff. And was hoping they would have a little bit more enthusiasm helping us find the beauty of Hawaii underwater. Unfortunately, I wish we would’ve just rented snorkel equipment and snorkeled Waimea bay ourselves And saved the money.

Disappointed - I don’t like doing crappy reviews but this one is highly deserved. We were required to be there 30 minutes early we arrived they were running late no biggie, but when they did dock and get their other customers off the boat we were told the other group that was joining us were running late and we would have to wait about 5 mins for them too show up, he left we waited we did not get our tour started until 12:15 with no apology for them running late as we had been there on time. We boarded with no introduction, no rules or regulations until we were headed to deeper water. Where we were given a half ass introduction by the “Captains”son while the “Captain gave his full attention to the other group of much younger people. When we did reach our destination they expected us to all know what we were doing and acted like we were putting them out when asking for life preservers or life jackets because we were not professional snorkelers, unsure if the snorkels were even sanitized and when asked they looked at us like we were nuts but replied yes. On the way back they had a harness ride they did not offer to any of our party, but made damn sure each one of the young females in the other party got that ride. Not to mention the stairs getting back in the boat were crappy and they didn’t even have the common curtesy to help our 64 year old Mom out of the water. So if you would like to be completely ignored, and basically with no instructions or guidance this would be the person for you. For the price we paid we expected so much more then what we got.
