What are people saying about Hawaii

Caroline_V, Mar 2026

Captain Cook Snorkel

This was such a great experience! The crew members, David and Erica, were both very knowledgeable about the history of each site that we stopped at. During the snorkel, there was much to see and we even saw two pods of spinner dolphins! I highly recommend booking an early morning swim since the area does get quite crowded as the day goes on. Overall, a great time for solo travelers and families alike!

Wild Dolphin Watching and Snorkel Safari Off West Coast of Oahu

Leslie_G, Dec 2025

Fun and easy outing - dolphins, whales, sea turtles, fish. reefs

There were only 5 of us which was nice. We saw everything advertised - dolphins, whales, sea turtles, reefs, fish. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible (e.g., they asked us if we wanted more time doing this or that). The pre-trip communication was clear and helpful. It was fun and met my expectations.

Great snorkel experience

The three girls in charge of the tour were amazing. They were so patient with our son who was a little apprehensive. We highly recommend this for a family, friendly, very personalized tour. The boat was very clean and spacious. They provided all the equipment besides our towels we bought from our hotel. Highly recommend and would do again.

Snorkel With Giant Manta Rays In Kailua Kona

Manta Ray Night Snorkel

This was amazing. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. They got us to a place where we saw one ray very quickly, and then there were none for several minutes. So they moved us to another area where they said there was more activity, and we saw so many rays. They were absolutely stunning, and they came so close. We also saw a shark before we went back in. It was just the right amount of time in the water and we definitely got to see a lot of rays. I highly recommend!

Kaimana Ocean Safari

Alice_B, Aug 2025

Amazing trip!

This safari was one the highlights of our trip. Cam and Dev were an amazing crew to spend the morning with. They are very knowledgeable and you see that they love what they do. We were super lucky to have a lot of wildlife that day: bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, spinner dolphins, a manta ray and even a white tip shark as a surprise guest! Their security briefing was extremely clear and was very useful when we had the encounter with the shark. We felt safe the whole time and that was very important for me especially since it’s very impressive to have this kind of experience. The boat was very comfortable and the trip was great. Thank you!
