Traveler reviews
An awesome snorkel trip
Had an incredible time with this team! The workers were super friendly and made the whole experience seamless. Beyond the great service, the drinks were awesome and the perfect way to wrap up the trip. Highly recommend! Also to top the night of we seen dolphins!!
I would do it again!
Great excursion. Staff were beyond friendly and also safety minded. Catamaran had good features (e.g., fresh water shower when done with snorkeling, easy in and out of water). We were lucky enough to see huge spotted ray and dolphins that breached the surface with a spiral spins. One of the crew did Hawaiian blessings in the sacred cove area, which was very interesting and educational.
Greatest experience we had in Hawaii
Captain Adrian was great, first mates Cher and Keimilei were great hosts and very professional. Keimilei was from Kona and had outstanding historical knowledge of the site we dived at, near the Captain Cook monument. We swam with dolphins in the bay, and got an opportunity to see a whale shark during the sail to the bay. They said that was a very rare sighting, one the captain had never experienced. Keimilei was like an 8 year with a new bike when she saw it. It was fantastic to see.
What a beautiful experience.
What a wonderful experience! The crew members were professional and fun! The snorkeling was in a beautiful bay with many different kinds of sea life. We would definitely sail with them again. One minor thing was how hard it was to actually find where we were to board the boat. Would suggest they have a crew member stationed at the gathering place.
Afternoon snorkeling in paradise
We greatly enjoyed our afternoon snorkel tour! The afternoon schedule offered less food and shorter overall time, which we preferred. Our crew greeted us kindly, checked us in efficiently and emphasized safety appropriately. We are not experienced snorkelers, so we got individualized attention to fit the provided equipment and help use it optimally. The experienced crew helped us stop and see the face of Pele rock formation, adding history and cultural information. We appreciated our entrance to the bay, using Hawaiian chants to ask permission and express cultural gratitude for the opportunity. Our snorkeling session was incredible, seeing many different fish. At one point, dolphins visited nearby and the crew helped us enjoy them safely. The crew answered our many questions with kind, informative answers. After snorkeling, we headed home and enjoyed the sunny sea spray. We disembarked with ease, savoring a trip worth the cost and time. We would recommend highly.
