Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

The snorkeling was fantastic!

Reviewed by: Art

My wife and I went on this snorkeling cruise in late February, and it was the funnest part of our vacation on Oahu. Allthough there are many choices for snorkeling you could take while in Hawaii, and on Oahu, I really think this was good for the price. The crew, the lunch, and especially the place where we snorkled - Kaneohe Bay. Fantastic! The sandbar was fun, I think they should spend more time there, or incorporate another tour that would be just for those wanting to lounge around on the sandbar and have some drinks and food. We are glad that we went on this activity, and would do it again!

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Thank you for your appropriate response during bad weather. 悪天候時の適切な対応を感謝

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Unfortunately, our trip was canceled due to bad weather, but I wanted to share my experience for future reference. When I called the tour company at 6 PM the evening before our reservation to confirm the boat departure for the next morning, everything was still on schedule. So, we arrived at the port at 6 AM, checked in, and waited around. Then, there was an incredible downpour and strong winds. About 30 minutes after the meeting time, the captain informed us that we would go to the Na Pali Coast, but we wouldn't be able to go near Niihau Island. He explained that those who were going that day would receive a 25% refund on the tour price, and we could either change our schedule or cancel. I felt that the explanation was quite considerate. We decided to change our schedule. The earliest we could reschedule was two days later, so we made the change for that date.

The evening before the new reservation date, I received a call on my registered mobile phone from the tour company, informing me that bad weather was expected again the next morning, and they would have to cancel the tour altogether. Since we didn't have any other available dates, we decided to cancel. They explained that the full amount would be refunded through Alan1, which I understood. The next day, I received an email from Alan1 confirming the full refund, and when I checked my credit card online two days later, the full amount had indeed been refunded. I was relieved by the prompt and appropriate response from both the tour company and Alan1.

Weather is beyond our control, so I hope to try again someday. However, I realized that it's essential to provide your mobile phone number and contact information when booking a tour that can be affected by weather in Hawaii. Additionally, if the tour company doesn't have Japanese-speaking staff, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand much English. Also, for tours on Kauai, it might be better to book in spring or summer when there are generally more good weather days compared to winter. However, the rain in Kauai has its own charm and can be quite enjoyable.

実際は悪天候によりキャンセルとなり行けなかったのですが、今後の参考になると思い、体験談として書いておきます。予約日前日夕方6時に翌朝のボート出航の確認のため電話したときには予定通りだったので、翌朝6時、港に行き、チェックインを済ませたあとぶらぶら待っていた。そのあと、ものすごい土砂降りと風で、集合時刻30分後に、キャプテンから話があり、ナパリコーストには行くが、ニイハウ島近くには行けないので、今日行く人にはツアー代の25%を返却する、日程を変更することもできるし、キャンセルもできる、という説明でした。説明は良心的だなと感じました。私たちは日程を変更しました。一番早くて2日後ということだったので2日後に予約変更。再予約日の前日夕方、登録していた携帯電話にツアー会社から電話がかかってきて、翌朝も悪天候が予想されツアー自体をキャンセルするということだった。私たちはもうほかの日程の余裕がなかったのでキャンセルすることにしました。ツアー代は全額Alan1を通じて返却されるという説明もあり了解した。翌日にはAlan1から全額返却される旨のメールが届き、インターネットでクレジットカードのオンライン取引明細チェックをしたらその2日後にはツアー代全額が返却されていた。ツアー会社およびAlan1の迅速で適切な対応に安心しました。天候はどうしようもないのでいつかまたチャレンジしたいと思います。ただこのような天候に左右されるツアーのときはハワイでの携帯電話や連絡先を必ず届けておくことが大切だと感じました。また日本語ができるスタッフがいないツアー会社だと少し英語がわからないととまどうことがあるかもしれません。またカウアイ島のツアーだと冬よりも春や夏の方が天気が良い日が多いかもしれません。しかしカウアイの雨もなかなか味わいがあっていいものです。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

Highlight of our Oahu Vacation!

Reviewed by: cathy

We booked this tour after reading about it on a web site. We asked our kids do you want to go to amusemant park setting and touch dolphins, OR swim with them in the ocean, and the results was unanimous The wild ones in the ocean! They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat, they were very friendly and punctual. The staff on the boat were beyond awesome. They were fun and explained everything and paid special attention to our 9 year old who was a little scared to go out in the big ocean. Pete sense her fear, and took control and jumped in the water with her and she had the best seat in the house on his back swimming with dolphins! He even brough her up a sea urchin to delight her while she was eating lunch! We had pretty rough water but the captain on the boat did a great job, very obvious he knew exactly what to do in in rough ocean. They bbq'd burgers for lunch with purple colored hamburger buns wheich totally delighted our daughter! They entertained us afterward

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

Diving mood ダイビング気分

Reviewed by: 鎌倉市在住

We participated as a family of four (two children, a middle schooler and a high schooler). On time, Alan, a tall man, picked us up at the hotel in a van. After that, we went to the office to get our fins, and we headed to Hanauma Bay on the highway. There were only four of us participants. We took a separate route from the general public and received VIP treatment to the beach, where we immediately started snorkeling. All five of us held hands, and Alan, at the front, guided us to various spots, allowing us to see many fish. It was about an hour in total. We went to a place where we couldn't touch the bottom, but since we had floatation devices attached to our bodies, even those who couldn't swim felt safe. In March, Hanauma can feel a bit chilly, so I think it's a good idea to bring a rash guard. We bought ours at a low price. Since the half-day course was short, we thought we would like to go to Hanauma again just the two of us and take it easy. I highly recommend this course for first-time snorkelers. Alan was a very kind and gentle gentleman. The kids even got to take pictures with him.

夫婦と子供2人(中学生・高校生)で参加しました。時間通りにホテルに長身のアランさんがバンで迎えにきてくれた。その後事務所で足にあった足ひれをつんで、高速でハナウマへ向かいました。参加者は私たち4人だけ。一般の人とは別のルートでVIP待遇でビーチまで行き、さっそく、シュノーケリング開始。5人全員で手をつないで、先頭のアランさんがみんなをいろいろなところに引っ張って行ってくれたので、たくさんの魚をみることができた。実質1時間ぐらいでしょうか。まったく足のつかないところまでいきましたが、からだに浮き袋のようなものをつけているので泳げない人でも安心です。ハナウマの3月は多少寒いと感じることもありましたので、ラッシュガードを持っていくといいと思います。私たちは安く購入していきました。半日コースで時間が短かったので、今度は自分たちだけで、のんびりハナウマに行きたいとおもいました。シュノーケリング初めての人はぜひこのコースにすることをお勧めします。アランさんはとてもやさしく親切なジェントルマンでした。こどもたちは一緒に写真をとってもらいましたよ。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

Enjoying Big Island!!! Big Ilandを堪能!!!

Reviewed by: 山マキFamily

The staff's service is outstanding. They are friendly and approachable. The pilot was cautious and serious, and the explanations were easy to understand (he's from Hawaii). It was the most comfortable helicopter ride I've ever experienced.

I started to get a bit bored with the endless expanse of volcanic ash and land, but then came the breathtaking beauty of the Kohala Coast and Waipi'o Valley!!!! I think this beauty can only be appreciated from a helicopter. When I spotted a mother and baby whale swimming from above and informed the pilot, he kindly showed us from an angle where everyone could see, which was truly moving.

For those who want to condense the essence of the vast Hawaii Island into a short time, this adventure comes highly recommended.

スタッフさんの対応は抜群です。気軽に話しかけてくれてフレンドリーです。パイロットの方は慎重な運転のかたで、まじめ、解説もわかりやすかった(ハワイのかたです)です。今まで乗ったヘリコプターのなかでいちばん安心の乗り心地でした。
延々と続く広大な火山灰と土地に半ば飽きが来てしまいましたが そのうちコハラコースト、ワイピオバレーの鳥肌ものの美しさ!!!!これはヘリの上からでないと味わえない美しさだと思いました。途中クジラの親子の遊泳を上から発見した私がパイロットに知らせると丁寧に 全員が観れる角度で見せてくれて感激しました。
広い広いハワイ島の醍醐味を短い時間で凝縮して楽しみたいというかたは、ぜひお勧めのアドベンチャーです。

Great Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a great time on this cruise/snorkel activity. The staff on the boat were friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling on the reef was awesome with lots of colorful corals and many different fish. We saw a turtle in the water while we were snorkeling and followed it for awhile. We played water volleyball on the sandbar and it was lots of fun. The boat stopped at a spot where there are green turtles and we saw lots of them. The guitar serenade during lunch was a nice touch. I would recommend this cruise to others.

Reviewed by: にゃんこちゃん

This was my second time participating. Last year, I joined with three friends and was so impressed by the beauty of the ocean that I wanted my boyfriend, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to see it too, so I participated with him this time.

Since it was February, which is winter, I felt that the ocean wasn't as beautiful as it was during the summer when I participated last time. I thought the season might not be the best for me, but my boyfriend, who was participating for the first time, was amazed by the beautiful sea.

Especially since I'm not very good at swimming, I was moved by the snorkeling experience where, even if you can't swim well, you can still see the beautiful corals and the colorful fish swimming around.

The staff on this tour had such high energy and kept us entertained throughout. So, if you're looking to have a fun time with a group or just want to enjoy some lively company, this is definitely the right choice. Even if you go alone, I think you'll have a great time!

2度目の参加です。
去年、友人3人と参加し、海の綺麗さに感動したので、初めてのハワイの彼にも是非、その美しさを見てほしかったので彼と一緒に参加しました。
今回は2月という冬場だったので、前回夏場に参加したときより海の綺麗さがなく、私にとってはちょっぴりイマイチ季節が悪かったかなって思っていましたが、初参加の彼は美しい海に感動していました。
特に、あまり泳ぎは得意なほうではないのですが、シュノーケリングで泳げなくても美しい珊瑚と群がる綺麗なお魚が見れるので感動です。
こちらのツアーは、スタッフの方々のテンションがとても高く、始終楽しませてくれます。なので、わいわいしたい人やグループでの参加なら盛り上がることは間違いないでしょうし、一人での参加でも楽しめそうです。

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Would definitely do this again...

Reviewed by: Kristi

This was one of my and my husbands favorite things we did our first time out to Hawaii. We were thrilled we were in whale infested waters and it was super cool to have the whales literally swimming under us, as we saw and heard them. It was awesome one whale swam right under our guide (Griff) who got amazing photos of the whole experience!

Would definitely do this again during whale season! Snorkeling to see the green sea turtles was amazing too. And all by getting a little exercise, rowing. Nice!

Thanks Griff and South Pacific Kayak!

My family and I totally agree that this was the best tour that we did while we were in Hawaii. A friend of mine had told me about the rays on the big island, but I totally didn't think that it was going to be that amazing. The crew members were really attentive and once we got into the water, it was like being in some alien planet with the rays around us and the plankton glowing under the lights.

I went on Captain Bob's Snorkeling Adventure with 4 friends last week and we all agreed that it was the BEST day we spent in Hawaii. The crew was FANTASTIC; fun, entertaining, knowledgeable, laid back... perfect!

The ocean volleyball and snorkeling at our own reef was a welcome change from the crowds in Waikiki.

It's one of the higher-level optional tours. オプショナルツアーの中でもレベル高いです

Reviewed by: pony3

I participated in the afternoon session on January 15 (Saturday). The weather was not just sunny, but perfectly clear. The sunlight was so strong that it was quite hot, so even when I got into the water, it wasn't too cold. There were many participants, over 40? It was fully booked. We saw a lot of green sea turtles, and the sandbar was just exposed due to the low tide. The tour staff mentioned it was the first time they had seen such a low tide. The staff's service was good, and I was particularly impressed by a lively woman in her thirties. She had a nice figure and even wore a belly button ring. Although she was married... They also took commemorative photos for us, and the snorkeling allowed us to see plenty of fish. The BBQ lunch afterward was very delicious, especially the chicken. My wife was also very pleased. The commemorative photos were $10, but I don't think that's expensive. Some participants even had video recordings. Even in January, if the weather is good, it’s not cold. I would like to participate again. Newlyweds, mature couples, families, and groups can all enjoy this experience. I think there are many repeat visitors as well.

1月15日(土)PMの部に参加させてもらいました。
天気は晴れじゃなく快晴。とても日差しが強く暑いぐらいでしたので、水の中に入ってもそう寒くはなかったです。
参加者は多く、40人以上?満席状態でした。
アオウミガメもたくさん見れましたし、サンドバーは、丁度引き潮の時間帯だったので砂が海面から出てきたところでした。ツアースタッフ5名もこんなに引いたのは初めて見たと言ってました。スタッフの対応も良く、三十路のお姉さん?がとても元気だったのが印象に残りました。へそピーなんか付けちゃって、なかなかスタイルも良かったです。既婚ですが・・。記念撮影もしてくれましたし、シュノーケリングも魚が良く見れたし、その後のBBQランチもとても美味しかったです。チキンが良かった。うちのかみさんも大変喜んでくれました。記念写真は$10ですが高いとは思いません。中には、ビデオ撮影の方もいらっしゃいました。
1月でも天候に恵まれれば寒くないです。
また参加したいと思っています。
新婚さんから熟年カップル、ファミリー、グループ、皆さん楽しめます。リピーターも多いのではないでしょうか?

They provide detailed instructions on how to use the snorkel and where to find fish, so even complete beginners can feel at ease. There was a family of tourists from Alaska accompanying us. They seemed to be swimming for the first time, but they received thorough and attentive guidance. Since it's difficult for amateurs to know where the fish are, I think it's important to have a guide show you around.

Wherever you go... どこをとっても・・・

Reviewed by: まりすん

I participated with my mother, and this was my graduation trip to Hawaii. Among all the activities, this snorkeling tour was my main goal. I had read experiences from those who participated before, so I joined with high expectations, and it did not disappoint—every moment turned out to be the best day ever!

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and while snorkeling, I swam among small fish that were deeper than my feet could reach. This feeling is something you can only truly understand by experiencing it with your own body and eyes.

I'm not a strong swimmer, so I was a bit scared about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket ensured I wouldn't sink, and everyone was close by, which made me feel safe. There were also a few people who just walked on the sandbar and observed the snorkeling from the boat.

I joined in the afternoon, and I was worried about getting hungry since lunch was after the sandbar and snorkeling. However, before we departed from the harbor, we were able to enjoy Leonard's malasadas and drinks, which was great.

The crew members were all wonderful people, and they made the experience enjoyable. The buffet-style lunch was also incredibly delicious! If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to join this tour again!☆

母と娘の親子で参加しました。
私の大学卒業旅行で来たハワイ、中でもこのシュノーケリングツアーは一番の目的でもありました。事前に参加された方々の体験談も読んでいたので、相当な期待感を持っての参加でしたが、その期待を裏切ることなくどこをとっても最高の一日となりました!
美しすぎるサンドバーに、シュノーケリングでは自分の足のさらに奥深くを泳ぐ小魚。この感動はやはり自分の体と目で感じないとわからないと思います。
泳ぎが得意でない私は、足のつかないところでのシュノーケリングということで少し怖かったのですが、ライフジャケットを着るので絶対沈みませんし、みんな近くにいるので安心です。サンドバーだけ歩いて、シュノーケリングは船の上で見学されている方も何人かいらっしゃいました。
お昼からの参加でしたが、昼食はサンドバーとシュノーケリングが終わってからということで、お腹がすくかな?と心配だったのですが、港を出発する前にレナーズのマラサダと飲み物をいただけたのでよかったです。
クルーの皆さんもみんな良い人達で、楽しませていただきましたし、バイキング形式のランチもすごくおいしかったです!またハワイに来ることがあれば、是非参加したいツアーです☆

The weather is not great. 天気が悪いといまいち

Reviewed by: A2C

I participated on August 25.

Overall, it was just okay.

I think the tour is affected by the weather! In my case, it was as follows:

- The weather was bad and cold, and the wind was strong.
- As a result, the water clarity was not great (when the sunlight came through, it was very beautiful).
- The sandbar was not formed (maybe because of the weather?).
→ There was a shallow area in the middle of the sea, but there were no parts shallow enough to see the ground.

After that, I went snorkeling in the deep sea outside the original sandbar area. There were many black fish, and due to the strong wind, the waves were high, so it wasn't that great. It might be tough for those who are not good at swimming!

The return boat was also cold. It's better to bring a towel. There was warm coffee and tea, which was helpful.

It could be a good tour on a nice day!

8月25日に参加。

総じて、まあまあだった。

天候に左右されるツアーだと思う!
私の場合は以下のとおりだったので。

?天気が悪く寒かった、風も強かった
?そのため海の透明度もいまいち(太陽の光が差し込んだ時は非常にキレイ)
?サンドバーもできていなかった(天候のせい?)
 →海のど真ん中に浅瀬はあったが、地面が見える程浅い部分は無し。

その後、本来のサンドバー部分の外の深い海でシュノーケリングをした。
黒い魚が多く、風が強いため、波が高く、それほどでもなかった。泳ぎが苦手な人はきついかもしれない!

帰りのボートも寒かった。タオルをちゃんと持って行った方がよい。
あったかいコーヒー、紅茶はあり、それは助かった。

天気の良い日だと良いツアーかもしれない!

I participated in mid-November.

The day before, I went to take sunset photos while confirming the meeting place, and since the catamaran had just returned, I assumed this was the right spot. However, when I arrived on the day, the catamaran was gone, and I panicked. I asked a nearby hotel staff, and they said it was "five hotels down." Since I was cutting it close to the meeting time, I dashed over, and just as I did, the catamaran was coming towards the beach from offshore. (Sweat, sweat, sweat)
≪Refer to the sign in the photo for the meeting place...≫

I misunderstood because the hotel was part of the same group.
(The meeting place is in front of Outrigger Reef on the Beach, but I ended up at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. Please be careful.) Looking back, the catamaran that returned was also a different boat.

At the reception, there was one staff member who understood some Japanese (they had a Japanese reference book), but the other staff seemed not to understand Japanese.

Once on board, there was an explanation of precautions, all in English (which is to be expected).

About five minutes in, my wife got seasick. (I recommend taking seasickness medication for those who are prone to it.)
When we reached the turtle habitat point, snorkeling and free diving began (you can dive about 10 meters).
We stayed there for about an hour.
We encountered over ten turtles, which was incredibly moving.

After that, we cruised around the bay and were able to see Diamond Head and the hotel cluster from the sea, which was also impressive.

Next time, I would like to take the sunset cruise and see the sunset from the boat.

参加前日にサンセットの写真を撮りに行きながら集合場所の確認に行き丁度カタマランが帰って来たのでこの場所で良いと思い込み、当日を迎えてその場所に行くとカタマランが無く、焦ってしまい近くのホテルのスタッフに聞くと『5つ先のホテル』との事でした。
集合時間ギリギリだったのでダッシュして行くと沖合からカタマランがビーチに向かって来ました。(汗・汗・汗)
≪集合場所は、写真の看板を参考に・・・≫

ホテルが同じグループだったので勘違いしてしまいました。
(アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチ前が集合場所ですが、アウトリガー・ワイキキ・オン・ザ・ビーチ前に行ってしまいました。要注意して下さい。)
今、思うと帰って来たカタマランも違う船でした。

受付では、片言の日本語が解るスタッフ(日本語の参考書を持ってました。)が一人いましたが、その他のスタッフは日本語が解らない様子でした。

乗船してから注意事項等説明が有ります。すべて英語(当然ですよね。)

5分位で嫁さんは、船酔いでダウン。(船に弱い方は酔止め
の投薬をおすすめします。)
ホヌの生息ポインに着くとシュノーケリング・素潜り開始
(10m位潜れます。)
1時間位停泊していました。
10匹以上のホヌに遭遇し大感動でした。

その後、湾内のクルージングしてくれ海上からダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテル群を見る事が出来てこれも感動です。


次回は、サンセットクルーズに乗船し船上からのサンセットを見てみたいです。

3-Hour West Coast Snorkel Cruise & Marine Life Safari by Dolphin Excursions

A Fun Day

Reviewed by: Canuck

Thank you for a fun day. The ocean condition was a little less than ideal today, but I saw plenty of dolphines, whales, and even a turtle. It was amazing.
The staff members were very kind, entertaining, and plain fun people. I had a faburous day.

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

I want to go again! また行きたい!

Reviewed by: とぴょ

Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't see the beautiful sea like in the pictures or commercials, but the staff's service and the snorkeling experience were both wonderful☆

I got to see sea turtles and coral reefs, and the snacks on the boat were unexpectedly delicious, which made me very satisfied.

あいにくの天気で画像やCMのようなきれいな海を見ることは出来なかったのですが、スタッフの対応、シュノーケリング、どれもとてもすばらしかったです☆

ウミガメを見たり、さんご礁を見たり、舟の上での軽食も予想外にとてもおいしくて大満足です。

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Kayak/Snorkel

Reviewed by: AmyCat

This excursion was worth the money spent. My new husband had never snorkeled before so it was nice to have an experienced guide teach us how to do it. The Kayaking portion was nice and good exercise while we got to go out further than we would have without the kayaks. The guide, Steve, knew tremendous amounts about the area, ocean, animal life and more. He was helpful and funny throughout the entire experience. It was great to see turtles in and out of the water, an octopus, urchins, as well as schools of fish. Small group, us and a family, which the made the experience that much more intimate and special.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

It would have been fun if I hadn't gotten drunk. 酔わなかったら楽しかったはず

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Despite taking motion sickness medication, I felt a bit nauseous on the way there. Two of my friends also got seasick.

Since swimming seemed tiring, I borrowed a float and went snorkeling. The water was cold, and the waves made me feel even more nauseous, but the clarity of the sea was amazing, and I could see deep down.

I was expecting colorful tropical fish (like Nemo), but instead, there were various medium-sized fish.

Both breakfast and lunch looked delicious, but I couldn't eat anything at all because I was feeling sick. I couldn't even drink anything, which was really disappointing.

The restroom was spacious, and since I changed right after getting out of the sea, I didn't feel cold.

On the way back, it was great to see a whale. I thought I would like to participate again next time.

酔い止めを飲んだにもかかわらす、行きにちょっと酔いました。友達2人も酔ってました。
泳ぐのも疲れそうだったので、浮き輪を借りてシュノーケルしました。水も冷たく、波でさらに酔っていいことなしだったのですが、海の透明度はすごくて深くまで見えました。
カラフルな熱帯魚(ニモみたいな)を期待していたのですが、それとは違っていろいろな種類の中くらいの魚がいました。
 朝ごはん、ランチともおいしそうなものが並んでいましたが、酔っていたため全く食べれず。飲み物も飲めず。すごく残念でした。
 トイレがひろく、海からあがってすぐに着替えたため、寒くはなかったです。
帰り、クジラがみれたのがよかったです。
次に行く時、もう一度参加したいと思いました。

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Snorkel & Kayak: A Good Combination

Reviewed by: AKVisitor

Kayaking is a great way to observe different snorkeling sites. Lots of friendly sea turtles and was able to hear the songs of the humpback whales. Would have liked to see more varieties of fish. For a kayaker used to a 1-person boat, the 2-person kayak was more limiting. Our guide provided a lot of information about the sea life in the area. It was very informational. Overall a good day.

A great Snuba Year's Eve!

Reviewed by: Scott

We saw so many turtles! We had a little trouble with Snuba because of some ear pain, but our dive instructor was great at working with us. They even stopped on the way back for some whale watching and we saw a whole pod! Definitely recommended for a great adventure
