Perfect Hawaiian Morning Activity - The perfect way to start out our day! It was a quick boat ride to see so many sea turtles and tropical fish. The guides were very knowledgeable and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you’re already up early with the time change.

Excellent tour, absolutely recommend it. - If you’re not into crowds this is the boat to be on. With six people max and an early morning start you get some quality time in the water with calm turtles. Your guide in the water explains the area, turtle behavior and the environment you’re snorkeling while making sure everyone is safe.

Sometimes smaller is better 😏 - Captain Tony and Abe were amazing!!! I highly highly highly recommend booking this tour. We set sail just before 7am and we were just with another couple. Captain Tony told us stories and by 710am we were moored and him and Abe got us set up with fins and snorkel gear and then we were in the water. Abe was extremely patiently with everyone and showed us around the Turtle Cove for about an hour and a half. We they hung out we saw so many turtle and fishes. He taught us about the marine life, made sure we’re all safe and together in the water. He even pulled a sea urchin for us to hold. By the time we left the other tours were coming in and oh boy I’m glad we went early bc we had the cove to ourselves. Captain Tony mentioned that the turtles react different to a small group vs boats filled with 30-40 people times multiple boats. BOOK THIS SMALL TOUR NOW!

Book this tour!!! - Captain Tony and Abe offered the best snorkeling experience we could’ve imagined! None of us are experienced with snorkeling including my 6 year old new swimmer and we all had a blast. Most importantly they made us feel safe and secure the whole time. They are able to pay close attention due to the small group of people unlike large tours. They leave earlier than other tours to provide the best opportunity to see turtles. We saw MANY including several on the surface which was good for my kiddo who didn’t want to stick his head underwater. Abe was sure to find us the best spot and educated us on the turtles throughout the tour. This was an unforgettable experience and the highlight of our trip to Hawai’i. Captain Tony also provided information on many other activities we could do on the island to make the best of our time here. We will be sure to book again with them when we come back!

Best snorkeling! - Snorkeling with Abe and Captain Tony was great! We saw so many turtles and we were the first ones out on the water. They also gave us some advice on good spots to hit before leaving the islands. All in all we would highly recommend!
