My parents and I had a great time! Beautiful waters, great crew, very attentive. My goggles kept wanting to fill up with water, though, and my life vest chafed my underarms, making it difficult to swim. Those are the only things I would change! We saw so many beautiful fish, and we felt completely safe the whole time.

I would recommend going to a snorkel tour out West or North if you have the time as we did a few to compare. We didn't really enjoy our tour with this company. Firstly, we were late to start/leave due to the girls not calculating the numbers correctly - but we still came back the same time. Second, we had 3 girls guiding + 1 captain - the girls seemed more interested in chatting/hanging with each other than engaging with the customers. I think the biggest thing for me that I didn't realise was the snorkeling area is really close to Waikiki beach itself. When we got there, there was about 6-7 tour boats. As you can imagine it's about 40-60 people per boat so it's all these people in a concentrated area chasing after each turtle that surfaces. I'm surprised given how jammed it is that no one has accidentally touched a turtle. I got to see it better when I was on the boat versus in the waters.

We had a great snorkel trip. We were able to see many turtles and other marine life. All of the crew were great! Holli was amazing- super friendly- Emily and Riley were great in the water keeping everyone safe and spotting turtles- and diving down with our camera to get great pictures. Jeff is a super captain- and we really loved the boat dogs!!!
