Response from Host, Feb 2023
Mahalo, Patty! Thanks so much for sharing about your experience. It's always a fun treat when the dolphins come around!

Taking our family of 6 on this private tour was the best idea ever! Kept the outing simple and relaxed not having to worry about them in other people’s bubbles. The guys were awesome and knowledgeable of the sea life, island, and help teach the ways of snorkeling. Definitely the best decision for one of our adventures.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Mahalo, Kristina! Thank you for sharing and we're so glad to hear you and your family had a great time!

We saw lots of turtles and even though the water was not super clear for snorkeling they found a place we could see the bottom and we saw some fish and more turtles a bloe fish. They gave a great boat ride and we had lots of fun.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Mahalo, Tasha! It was great having you ladies aboard with us. There were definitely lots of sea turtles out yesterday!

Other boat trips are a dime -a-dozen and packed with aloof tourists and bratty kids. Chris and Ryan asked what was important to us and made our dreams come true. We swam with turtles, saw a pod of Dolphins, and were able to have individual conversation with locals. This was the highlight of our trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Mahalo for the kind words! We're stoked to hear that you had a great time with us and made the right call with a private charter! It was great hanging out with you two and it was a great trip.
Jeweline_A, Jan 2022
we booked this to get away from the crowd and do a family boat trip, we saw a very active whale jumping around a couple turtles and fed some fish, the hosts were informational and very friendly, I loved it! and had fun!
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Mahalo, Jeweline! It was great having your family out on the water with us!

We saw several sea turtles, rad fish, and whales blowing plus the tail when one of them dove! Really cool. Captain Chris was a great driver and his sidekick, Ryan, I think, was fun and engaging! They were great with the kids and followed all safety rules and water laws (unlike some other look-alike agencies). Thanks!!!

We booked the private tour for my dad, 76, and our son, 15. We didn’t want chaos and crowds. Timely, safe, informative & FUN! My dad is a world traveler, a track+ field enthusiast, a fly fisherman ….never a better time than snorkeling w/his grandson and sea turtles! Thank you!!

Recommend 100%. It was an amazing experience. We had not seen any turtles at all in the full 7 days we were there until this last trip we had. Thank you guys so much! Honestly best memory of our Hawaii trip.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Mahalo, Evelyn! Those sea turtles are always cool to see up close! Thanks so much for joining us and for sharing about your experience.

Amazing day on the water. Thank you!!! Fun and professional hosts who know the secrets of the island
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Mahalo, Justin! Glad you had a great time!
Sunny_C, Aug 2021
My friends and I booked the morning trip. Chris and Ryan were very friendly and took us to a couple of spots where we saw tons of fish, turtles, rays, and dolphins. They were very patient with us as this was our first time snorkeling, taking time to explain how to use the googles and fins, and helping me with extra floatation gear when I found I wasn't as strong a swimmer as I thought :)
They really do things at an easy pace that matches your group, I would definitely recommend them.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Mahalo for the kind words! We're glad you felt safe with us for your first snorkeling adventure, and had a great time!
Renee_J, Jul 2021
Great way to spend time with your family and have a more intimate experience with aquatic life on your own timeline. The crew was great; knowledgeable, and friendly (but not loud and overly chatty like a tour guide). They were right on time and knew great spots to go to snorkeling. We got to see a large dolphin pod swim right next to the boat. We were able to stay as long or as little time as desired in each spot. Boat was in really good condition and parking was easy. We would definitely go again with this company.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Mahalo, Renee! Thanks again for coming out on the boat with us. It was great having you and your family aboard!
Yudith_A, Jul 2021
It was a great experience for our first time snorkeling trip. The guys there were very patient and kind. We did the trip early in the morning so we got to see the turtles and other fishes. I

Amazing trip, great crew, highlight of our vacation.
We saw dolphins, sea turtles, and tons of fish when snorkeling. Views were amazing.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Mahalo, Josh! Thanks so much for joining us and for sharing about your experience. Those dolphins were definitely a nice bonus!
Kristin_W, Jun 2021
The guys were friendly and right on time. They made this newbie comfortable. We got in the water two different spots and a school of dolphins swam alongside the boat for a bit.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Mahalo, Kristin! Thanks so much for joining us and for sharing about your experience. We're glad you were comfortable enough to snorkel with us!
Annemarie_B, Jun 2021
Great time! Chris and Ryan are great with kids too! I highly recommend this for families and even special needs provided they are ok with a faster at times boat. I have a son with autism and a son with a severe anxiety disorder, and they were GREAT with my kids. They are patient and really enjoy what they do. Great men!
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Mahalo, Annemarie! Thanks for sharing and for bringing your family out on the boat with us. Your kids did great!
Heyden_W, Jun 2021
My husband and I loved this! We booked this tour for snorkeling on our honeymoon and it was well worth every penny. Beautiful snorkeling spots, knowledgeable tour guides, fun music and we were even able to bring some beers and snacks! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a little bit more private snorkeling trip.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Mahalo for sharing and thanks again for joining us!
Craig_M, Jun 2021
Even though I ended up feeding the fish my lunch I had eaten earlier, my wife and I had a fantastic time. The crew was professional and friendly and ready made it a fun experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
I'm sure the fish were happy to share lunch with you! Sorry you weren't feeling well, but we're glad you still had a good time! Thanks again!
Corey_M, May 2021
Great time. Very friendly and professional. Great memories with the kids. Saw sea turtles, fish, even got to hold an octopus.

Thanks so much, Corey! Super cool that you got see an octopus while snorkeling!
James_S, Mar 2021
We had a great time out even with the weather not wanting to cooperate. Chris was super friendly and helpful.
Response from Host, Mar 2021
Thank you, James!
Kevin_C, Dec 2020
The crew was GREAT! They new the spots, modified the trip so we could find the dolphin (which we were lucky & found them). They new where to take us for some amazing snorkeling & we then finished up in turtle canyon. Likely one of our most memorable moments on the trip.
Response from Host, Dec 2020
Thank you so much for sharing about your private charter with us. It was great having you aboard and we hope to see you again!
Christie_C, Nov 2020
This was one of our favorite adventures while in Oahu. Having our own private tour was fantastic and very laid back. We were able to go with the flow and enjoy every opportunity the ocean offered. We followed alongside a group of dolphins, snorkeled in the reefs and saw tons of fish and then snorkeled with sea turtles. We had a great time with Captain Chris and the crew and would highly recommend this for any family or small group! Thank you for such a memorable experience and we hope to be back again soon!! Aloha!
