What an awesome trip!

Reviewed by: Steve F, 2016/07/09

My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

  • Snorkeling practice at the sandbar.

  • Cheeseburger in paradise!

  • Fish on the reef.

  • Gilligan's Island

Nice!! Don't miss this one.

Reviewed by: MelB, 2016/04/29

SANDBAR: The sandbar was a surreal experience. It was beautiful to be finally here, but like the beautiful breasts of Italian marble, there is not much one can do with the simplicity of this place, except enjoy the view. I have never been so satisfied with so little to do, but so much to visually feel.

SNORKEL: Nice experience. More fish to see than Kailua Beach area, but less fish than Hanauma Bay.

BOAT and RIDE: Nice vessel. Clean. A little crowded, but I enjoyed the variety of different cultures, their languages and behavior.

Tour Staff: They were friendly, experienced, and kept us safe.

Overall Experience: Very positive and I would recommend this tour.

Not What I Expected

Reviewed by: Howie, 2016/03/27

For the amount of money we paid my fiance and I were disappointed. The boat we took out was dirty and in my opinion not well maintained. We spent less than one hour actually "Snorkeling" and that is what I was hoping for the most. The crew was nice and helpful, but I think I would not recommend this to anyone for the amount of money they charge.

Great day!!

Reviewed by: Jon Brookins, 2016/03/22

Staff was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the trip. Food was good for picnic food. It was a cold and windy day. The staff had hot chocolate, tea and coffee ready for everyone. The reef was not that great for snorkeling. Bland colors and not many fish. Watched Finding Nemo one too many times.

Best Hawaii Experience!

Reviewed by: Michelle, 2016/02/15

The staff on this cruise were very respectful and down to earth. They wanted to make sure you were comfortable at every moment. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone, Any age. When we decide to visit Hawaii again in a few years this be on our to do list. I cant remember their names, But the man that played the guitar while we were on the sand bar was awesome. Def a people person with a big heart.

My friends and I had so much fun. The whole cruise was a great experience. The crew was super friendly. Our guide, Ryan, was great. He was very knowledgeable so we actually learned some things which was cool. Would have liked to spend a little more time on the sandbar but overall, would definitely recommend doing this!

Turtles Galore!

Reviewed by: Cottonsquares, 2015/09/15

Saw many turtles of all sizes. There were 101 people registered for this trip when I went and 2 boats. Even though there were 101 people, the view + experience overlapped everything.
Negative part: Bathroom was very unclean so I did not use the restroom at all during the trip.
Tip: Bring hand sanitizer since it is 50 people to a boat with 1 bathroom that is questionable..
Overall: A must see.

Too overcrowded and dirty.

Reviewed by: Amorphita, 2015/08/16

Too many people snorkeling in the same area, the snorkeling spot was horrible, not too many tropical fish and the water was murky. Definitely not what they advertise. Bathrooms were old and dirty and the smell was pretty bad. On the other hand, sandbar was good and the staff was friendly but we would not recommend this snorkeling tour to anybody.

Thank you for a wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Masumi, 2015/07/30

Hi,

I had such an amazing time on their cruise!! First of all, the staff were all amazing. They were funny, welcoming, and most importantly, love their job! They really went out of their way to ensure that we had a fantastic time! And, the food was amazing! Maybe it's about eating on the boat after swimming, but regardless, it was really good!

This cruise also gives us ample time to really explore the area... it goes to sandbar, a place where green turtles gather, and finally an hour of snorkeling by the reef. They were all amazing experiences, and I would say that it is a MUST for anyone traveling to Hawaii!

Thank you, Captain Bob and his crew!
