Very easy trip to reef, good instructions on where to meet. Friendly captain and girl crew were lovely. One sent me video as I had forgotten to bring my GoPro which was so appreciated. Saw lots of turtles!! Amazing and unforgettable experience. Thoroughly recommend this coy

Great time cruising and snorkeling with Captain Krash and Lucy. We’re comfortable swimmers but inexperienced with open water snorkeling. This was a beautiful, short trip from Waikiki. Booked on short notice and loved the experience. Felt safe and saw turtles as promised! Even with the rough seas, we had a great time. Highly recommended…we’d do it again.

I highly recommend this tour! The tour size was kept very reasonable. There was plenty of room on board to move around, sit comfortably, and personal attention was given to each passenger. Refreshments were also provided on board. Huge shoutout to Captain Greg for the smooth sailing and Joe for being an amazing tour guide. Both were charismatic, personable, and knowledgeable. Their appreciation for nature was also apparent and added to our excitement. None of my group had any snorkeling experience, but we were given clear instructions and tips to get the most out of our time in the water. The guys clearly knew their stuff because we ended up seeing so many turtles as well as a variety of fish, sea urchins, reefs, etc. We truly enjoyed our time and would book with them again! Also, one of my group was getting nauseous/sea-sick, and the crew was able to help her out which was very appreciated. 10/10 experience

Sabrina_S, Aug 2026
What an awesome experience! One of the best things we did here in Hawaii. So many turtles we saw. We did the early morning one. I highly recommend it. The crew was so fun but also will keep you safe. They give you detailed instruction for anyone if it is their first time. Margaret was super sweet and even took my GoPro down to see the turtles. Tony, Shannon (?), and Crash were also so amazing. It was a good time and good vibes.

Afternoon Snorkeling Tour!

RenitaThapa, Aug 2026
Great tour, lots of sea turtles and fish!! I am so glad we chose this tour as it was a lot smaller compared to other tours out there and was able to be more intimate. We went on the afternoon tour and in our exact tour group there was only 5 of us so it was really nice! Margaret & Riley were great tour guides in the water and were excellent crew! They had good recommendations for food and Riley was very knowledgeable about the sea life!! Would definitely book again with this company & crew!!
