Fun family time - great boat ride - The boat itself was awesome. The crew (Anthony, Ian, and Matt) were so genuine and fun. We traveled with two girls (11 and 12) and they made both the adults and kids feel comfortable immediately. We saw tons of dolphins but just one turtle. Snorkeling was great and the whole adventure was so much fun for our family!

Saw dolphins and turtles, so worth it - This was SOO worth it for us! We were searching for turtles our whole trip but couldnt spot them so decided to do a tour near where we were staying in Makaha. We saw 2-3 turtles floating while snorkeling and one swimming underwater. They took us to the beach near the space force (?) buildings at the north end of makaha for dolphins and we saw a huge pod. For snorkeling we were in front of Makaha beach, saw so many fish and the turtle too. The woman who led the snorkeling was so helpful for my mom who was nervous about swimming, and she guided her while snorkeling. The boat was also so fun, they had nets in the front that you could lay on and see the ocean underneath. Plus we got some complimentary mai tais and they were delish!

Fun morning excursion - Great tour! Captain Nick, Ian, and Nicole made sure everyone had a good time. I saw plenty of dolphin and fish. And even a couple of sea turtle I’ll point out that I was very nervous about getting into the ocean, and I felt safe the entire time.

Warm May Day with calm waters - All three guys running the boat were knowledgeable about the process slabs and the west side where we’re going. Asked us if we had questions and very friendly. We found schools of sleeping dolphins and even though they weren’t too close it was fun spotting them a little ways from the boat. We did see a couple of turtles from the boat too. Our guide saw a turtle and man o war in the water but we couldn’t catch up to the group in time. Breakfast was a little fruit and biscuit, lunch on the way back was a turkey wrap and chips, two drink tokens and ice water available anytime. We got great weather, learned about the history of this part of the island and were well taken care of. Looking forward to booking again.

Great turtle snorkel and we saw whales - Great trip where we saw whales and snorkeled and saw turtles. The water was very deep and many of the fish were down deep so were difficult to see. My only complaint from this tour company is that you are forced to wear fins or you cannot snorkel.

Ocean life in abundance in December - We had a beautiful day on the water with Hawaii Nautical. The crew were super friendly. The weather was perfect during the morning outing. We saw dolphins, whales, turtles, a sting ray, and plenty of fish! For the included items: The prescription goggle that I requested was not available unfortunately and the snorkel that I did get was a little wonky. A towel is not included so bring your own if you want one. Breakfast included a fluffy biscuit and fruit. Lunch was a nice turkey wrap with chips. We also had a some yummy alcoholic mixed drinks. One area of improvement would be the organization of the transportation add-on from Waikiki. On this tour, it was just us and one other small group coming from the city. We were expecting a branded shuttle, but it ended up being a taxi, which caused some confusion on where taxis would pick up versus a shuttle, particularly at the larger hotels with multiple entrances. On the return trip, a similar confusion about whether we were getting on a shuttle or a taxi. But, overall, a great experience on the water with a smaller, eco conscious tour!
