Worth the money pretty... - Worth the money pretty private, the crew was amazing and the spot was magical. I would recommend anyone who is interested in snorkeling to book through them. We had Sam and Francesco and they were amazing guides. Once again I heavily recommend anyone interested to book through them.

An unforgettable personalized experience like no other - This tour was small, personal & fun, our 2 guides were engaged & helpful, the boot was well equipped with snorkels, flippers, water bottles, they joined us in the water & pointed out the best spots to watch, when we got back to the boat & still had some time left, they moved to a little further away where we 4 humpback whales swam around our boat - highly recommendable, would book them immediately again!!

You should book this! - I highly recommend this trip! We loved the small group size; the boat was clean and the crew top notch. We saw many dolphins on the way out (later some dolphins swam through while we were snorkeling - pure magic!) So many turtles and beautiful fish everywhere...Jake and Captain Francesco were professional and personable. They value safety and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. After an amazing time we even saw a whale on our way back in. It was fabulous!

THE best charter for peaceful turtle moments! - In my opinion, this is THE best choice for a turtle snorkel adventure! The small group size makes it so much more enjoyable than being on a boat and in the water with a hoard of other people. Sam the captain and Kelsey the first mate were perfect - funny, sweet, kind, and helpful. When we got out to the reef, there were of course, several other boats all carrying tons of people. Kelsey was able to offer our group special moments away from those large crowds, quietly pointing out the turtles and fish and letting us just relax and explore. And the boat ride out and back, with Hawaiian music playing, created the perfect vibe. If Sam would have been able to find us a whale or a dolphin I would have found a way to give 6 stars lol 😋

Great trip! - Great experience. Crew was very attentive. We saw spinner dolphins, turtles and whales. When we were snorkeling the first mate was in the water with us guiding us and making sure we did not stray too far.

Small group, Big fun! - Fantastic morning sail! Captain Sam and Chase were excellent guides! Saw dolphins, turtles, and loads of fish. Even went on the chase of some breaching whales at the very end. Couldn’t ask for a better trip! Small group size made it feel personal. Highly recommend!

Colorado to Waikiki for Honu - What an amazing experience. Jake and Sam were absolutely amazing. My wife, 17 year old and I ended up getting an early morning private two hour tour. These guys were personable, professional, knowledgeable. Do not hesitate one bit to book with them. Jake even free dove with my DJI cam to get some awesome footage of the turtles. Turtles, spinner dolphins, flying fish and more. We snorkeled for about an hour then took a leisurely cruise along the coast before heading in. Don’t book with anyone else.
