Perfect snorkel experience - Could not recommend more. This was the most incredible sea turtle snorkel experience. The boat is beautiful and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Getting to swim so close to sea turtles was amazing and there were so many cool fish. We also got to follow a pod of spinner dolphins as they jumped out of the water, even saw a Hawaiian monk seal. The crew was awesome - Cristen, Sarah and Captain Nolan are great. Thank you! So much fun!

Awesome. - Saw lots of turtles and fish. Our guide took my go pro down to the turtles to get better video. They were very safety conscious as well as protective of the environment.

Turtles and Spinner Dolphins! - Kristin (sp), Jake, Captain Ali and the rest of the crew were personable and professional. They made the journey out to see the turtles respectful of Hawaiian culture and gave us a sense of the sincerity that people who live on the island have for their home. There were Japanese visitors on board. The crew had a translator who explained the activities and safety procedures to them. We saw three turtles and many fish. On the way back to the dock we were joined by a pod spinner dolphins who rode the catamaran’s forward wave and entertained us with spinning and cruising around us. On the whole it was a fine time.

Azure blue waters and encounters in Turtle. Canyon - The color of the water and the background views of Diamond Head and the Aloha spirit of the crew. Amazing views and close encounters with the turtles. Memorable time captured in photos and a video taken by staff.

Saw Turtles, lots of yelling to get back - Friendly crew Blake, Vivian, and Iuna. Snorkeled in one spot. Saw turtles. Could not get close. Lots of yelling to get away from them. Not so pleasant. Took a bus to the harbor, got on a boat, and rode to the hotel zone. Recommend saving your time and book tour with boat that leaves directly from the hotel’s beach.

Not great snorkeling - Spending time with my family. The pressure put on by the staff to tip is a bit unprofessional. Other than that, the captain and staff were polite
