We had the best time ever...

We had the best time ever with Captain Nono and Canon!!! Even with slightly rougher seas they made sure everyone was safe and still was having loads of fun! Highly recommend this tour to anyone!! (However if you get seasick definitely take some Dramamine)

Kona Snorkel Tour: Captain Cook Reef Snorkel, Dolphin & Sea Caves

Lori_J, Jun 2026

Snorkeling Along the Kona Coast

Great snorkeling in small group, great mask and snorkel, had to pay extra for fins. But lower overall cost than other snorkeling tours. Daniela was a great captain and her partner "Jack" (not sure of his name) was wonderful too. Great story telling and helped me get back in boat, with my foot injury I was worried, but it was no problem!

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Ann_G, Jun 2026

Memorable Mesmirizing Mantas

This was a once in a lifetime experience for us. My daughter and I enjoyed every minute. The manta rays were there to greet us the minute I jumped in. They never stopped playing and some sharks came along (gentle ones) to see the action. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Oahu: Submarine Scooter Adventure

Chelsea_W, May 2026

Loved it!!!

I absolutely love this experience. Even if you can't swim, you can still go on this excursion because it is so easy and fun. The instructors really help you out, especially if you don't know how to swim. I would absolutely do this! Once in a lifetime experience.

Oahu: Swim with Dolphins on the West Coast

Nicolette_P, May 2026

If I could rate this...

If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I would! We’re still talking about how cool of an experience it was days later. We got to swim with dolphins, whales, turtles, and fish! One of the crew also caught a tiny octopus! Definitely the highlight of our trip. If you’re thinking of doing this, book it!!

Oahu: Cage-Free Shark Swim on the North Shore

Sebastien_G, May 2026

French guy 🇨🇵🇨🇵

Thank you to the whole team for these four shark excursions — it was an amazing experience. Thank you for offering photos and videos for free; this is truly what made me choose your company the first time. Thank you for allowing us to swim freely and enjoy the experience to the fullest, without being tied to a rope or staying close to the boat (as I experienced with another company). P.S. Please let the girl handle the photos and videos. On Monday, it was a man taking the pictures and almost none of them were sharp or successful. 😁😁 Having someone experienced makes a big difference, so we can have beautiful photos to show our family and friends.

Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina

Karleen_C, May 2026

The crew was very...

The crew was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed the tour snd will do again on our next trip. Captain Jack D and Nicole made the trip feel safe, and provided lots of whale facts. Along with some island history culture. I just wish I remembered which whale tracking app Nicole said she was using.

Oahu Dolphin and Snorkel Tour with Waikiki Pickup & Lunch

Stephanie_M, May 2026

Fun crew, great adventure, and DOLPHINS!!

Best bonus = add-on photo package with Lauren!! This was a fun, relaxing adventure with the kids. We saw dolphins, a few turtles, and did some snorkeling. The crew was experienced, worked well together, and were fun! Dani, the boat captain was wonderful, and our boat hostess and team were fun, entertaining and kept our adventure rolling along. They sprinkled in fun surprises and authentic Hawaiian touches (like a song to ask the ocean to open to us, and hula dancing, and.... - well just go and find out!!). The 2-story slide was an awesome touch during the snorkeling because the kids and kids at heart loved it. The slide helped my kid enjoy the snorkeling time even more. But the best part was the professional photo package from Lauren (with credit card charges, about $80) that allowed us to enjoy the adventure and put the phone up (at least for most of the time - hard habit to break for some candid moments). The views were amazing, the water sparkling blue, and the adventure was perfect.

From Maalaea: Whale Watching Tour Aboard the Quicksilver

Paul_D, Apr 2026

What an AMAZING excursion. More than what I expected.

OMG. This excursion was thrilling. Such close encounters with whales. I was like a kid in a candy store. Who whales showed up close to the boat so we had to shut off engines per regulations. The whales put on an AMAZING show. Slapping fins, tails and breaching. Swimming past under the boat. Such an opportunity for great pictures and videos. Highly recommend this excursion during peak whale season. Definitely a good time.

Luxury Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watch and Local Buffet

Sharon_G, Mar 2026

Great experience, entertaining and relaxing

Great experience. We saw lots of dolphins and one whale. Snorkeling was nice. But not a lot of tropical fish. Wish we could have snorkeled in shallow water. The crew was great and food yummy. Nice to have a photographer there taking pics throughout the trip. Well worth our time and money.
