Traveler reviews
Fun time, crew was great...
Fun time, crew was great and very attentive. Snorkling was OK, saw plenty of fish, but not the best I have been to. We enjoyed listening to the history of the area and boat ride to and from.
Great fun!
It takes about 50 minutes to arrive to the snorkel area. We snorkeled 45-60 minutes and headed back. The crew was great, communicated the rules very well. They were friendly and did a great job. The boat is very nice and clean and offers 2 bathrooms.
Snorkel up to Captain Cook Monument
We had an great time on this afternoon snorkel cruise. It took us to Captain Cook Monument which I had wanted to see in person after reading the book, The Wide Wide Sea by Hampton Sides which he writes about Cpt. Cooks making first contact with the people of the Hawaiian Islands. This monument indicates where he was killed. The monument itself is accessible by land, but we were told it is a "treacherous' and "dangerous" hike. There is no access by road/car. This snorkel trip lets you snorkel right in front of the monument itself. The snorkeling was great with lots of colorful fish and even a pod of dolphins curious about our boat as they kept circling and jumping near our boat. The guides were fantastic - above and beyond helping with every detail from helping me walk to the head with choppy waves to providing fresh water shower after snorkeling in the salty sea water. It was a relaxing tour with 10 other guests so not crowded or cramped. Highly recommend this tour.
Absolutely perfect!
an amazing crew; low pressure, while highly attentive to detail, safety; ensuring the best experience for all passengers...THE CLEANEST BOAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO SAIL...impeccable! I would return for a similar trip at ANY TIME!
Aloha to the Fishes
What an amazing snorkel tour. Great, knowledgable staff who took great care with all aboard. The best place I have ever snorkeled by far!
