Amazing trip snorkeling with turtles! - The crew, the views, and the catamaran were all top notch. I went by myself but never felt alone. We saw turtles and fish, enjoyed my first mango mimosa, and had an incredible trip. I would recommend this to anyone.

Best way to start the day - What a fantastic way to start the day! Very kind crew welcomed us aboard a very comfortable catamaran and took us just about 15 minutes from the shore. We saw humpback whales, dolphins, and sea turtles. Highly recommend!

I like turtles - Amazing time with this snorkel company. We set out in the most beautiful Hawaiian waters .. saw so many green turtles. The staff was very attentive and helped with the snorkel equipment and knowledge of how to snorkel. The catamaran boat was top notch clean and modern... at the end of the excursion, they let the sails down, and it was a great sail back to shore with free cocktail. Would this again.

Fantastic - We had a great experience on this tour-the catamaran is beautiful and brand new! Although I did not snorkel, my family members did and they had a great time! I was impressed with the crew-they had a lifeguard on board and a crew member was in the water with the people who were snorkeling directing them to the aquatic life that was present that day! All of the crew members were terrific! Don’t hesitate to book this tour! It is worth every penny! LWH

Turtle Cove - We went on a Turtle Cove Tour with the intent of swimming with the turtles. We started off with loads of Dolphins swimming with us out to the cove, beautiful sight! We’re blessed with turtles both swimming and surfacing close by us so we managed to get some great photos. Then we enjoyed a cocktail while we cruised around watching some whales. Stunning day that impressed in all areas with great scenery and sea life and a friendly fun staff. Highly recommend

Do this tour - A great trip for anyone. The boat is beautiful and the crew is very laid back, friendly, and helpful. We were able to see dolphins and whales on the cruise after the snorkeling is over. They accept venmo for tips and bar purchases.
