Great Experience with the family!! - The captain, Alex was very friendly and made us feel at home. Christine was very helpful and you could tell wanted our experience to be wonderful, and it was! They did a great job explaining what to do, how to do it and when to do it. While in the water Christine was always ensuring we were safe and where to look, ensuring we didn't miss any turtle viewing opportunities. Overall a great time with family, I would definitely recommend a tour with them!

Captain Max Knows Turtles and the Sea! - As a boater myself, I can appreciate the importance of safety, skill and top equipment in Hawaiian waters!
Alex and Santiago of Captain Max Boat Tours are the best at providing an amazing experience on this small and very fast boat in challenging water conditions. We had only 5 people in our group and beat the large boats to arrive at the perfect snorkeling spot through their experience. There was a huge turtle surfacing on our port side even before we even set the anchor!
They both were highly observant of our groups diving skills and constantly monitored the whereabouts of their guests and my 12 year old granddaughter which I really appreciated and found reassuring .
This experience was the highlight of our Hawaiian vacation for our family!

Must do on Oahu - Amazing tour. One of the highlights of the trip to Oahu. Snorkling equipment was well maintained and worked great for us. We saw many turtles and fish up close. (Captain dropped fish food off the boat and the fish was swarming around us) Stunning views od the island, too. Captain helped us to take photos. We asked the captan to make a detour to see dolphins and he did it. When moving at high speed, we were spayed by the water which was great on the hot sunny day. So we saw turtles, fish and dolphins on one trip. Great experience. Highly recommend

Excellent Excursion & Crew - This excursion was excellent! We saw numerous turtles and fish. The crew was very friendly and helpful. Santiago also took pictures while we snorkled which provided some great shots to our own pictures. This has been one of the most enjoyable snorkeling trips we've been on-- I just wish it was much longer.

Excellent experience - It was an amazing experience, our captain and snorkeling instructor were very very helpful and knowledgeable. Our 5 year old could not snorkel with all the gear on, so Chris made sure that she was able to see the marine life assisting her throughout. Highly recommended it!

Amazing experience! - Santiago & Alex did an amazing job with us on the semi-private tour, as this was my wife’s first time snorkeling. They also have great equipment and hospitality. Thank you for taking care of us!
