Family friendly Turtle Swim - This was a very family friendly, calm, relaxing and beautiful trip. The coral was stunning and swimming over the turtles, watching them and the gorgeous marine life around you was definitely a key highlight of our trip.

Great tour for turtles! - Amazing! Capt Francesco was super accommodating when a tropical rain storm was headed through Hawaii. He reached out in advance to check our availability for the full week and was able to shuffle us around based on the weather. My young kids didn't fully take to snorkeling in the open ocean, but the crew was really helpful in engaging them and trying to keep them busy. They learned a lot from Nick, the reef guide. We got to see turtles and even got a visit from dolphins. I also got a little seasick and they were very sympathetic and forgiving to me tossing my cookies on the side of the boat. They even offered me the relief band and some essential oils to help. All in all an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience! Thanks Francesco and Nick!

Great trip - Sam and Nick were great - found turtles and fish on our trip. Both were great to talk to when we decided to stop snorkeling and enjoy the remainder of our time cruising Waikiki beach and diamond head. Well worth it.

Private and super fun - First snorkeling experience and it was the absolute best! The guys were awesome. The captain was funny w/ his dorky jokes/puns 😂. I was a little nervous at first but they stressed safety to us and towards the animals without making it a lecture and made us feel very welcome. Pictures on my sisters phone or I would have uploaded some. recommend bringing a GoPro if you have one!
