I went alone, but the staff was friendly and I had a great time. I was moved when a sea turtle swam close to me about three times (even though we’re not supposed to touch them). I took the bus from Honolulu, and I recommend leaving with at least a two-hour buffer. Be sure to bring a change of clothes as well.
1人で行ったのですが、スタッフが親切で十分楽しめました。ウミガメが(触ってはいけないのですが)3度位近くまで泳いで来て感動しました。
ホノルルからバスで行ったのですが、2時間は余裕を持って出発することをお勧めします。着替えも用意していきましょう。

The crew was amazing! They were super friendly and would help us find turtles while we were snorkeling. The boat ride was smooth, had refreshments, and their mai tai were delicious. I would highly recommend this tour. Was able to see many fishes, got yummy drinks, and was a fun time overall.

Boat was very nice, friendly staff, but we stopped at 1 site for a while and didn’t see any turtles, then when we got to the more popular spot there were already 4 more boats and we only got to see 1 turtle. The staff didn’t come in the water with us either to help spotting turtles. Other boats had at least 1 crew in the water to guide their group towards the right spot.

Meeting wild dolphins is truly moving! I was able to encounter spinner dolphins. I recommend wearing a swimsuit from the hotel and putting a T-shirt over it.
やっぱ野生のイルカに会えると感動しますね!
スピナードルフィンに出会うことができました。

There are two types of courses: an early morning departure and a midday departure. With the early morning departure, the water level is about knee-deep, while with the midday departure, it rises to just above the knees. They have plenty of inflatable toys and equipment available, so you can enjoy yourself without any worries. The staff follows very strict safety standards, so I think you can feel safe bringing children along to play.
早朝の出発か、昼発の2タイプコースがありました。
早朝出発だと、水位がひざ下まで、昼発だと水位がひざうえぐらいまであがるようです。
浮き輪などの遊具もたくさん用意してくれているので、気軽に楽しめます。
すんごい安全基準の厳しいスタッフさんなので、こども連れでも安心して遊べるとおもいますよ。

My "good" vs "outstanding" rating is 100% dependent on the time of the year. So I had actually done this trip before but in July which I loved. I ended up spending my bday alone during the day so decided I wanted to come back out to the sandbar. Well nothing had changed from the last time, same good food, same great crew, great snorkeling. Not sure if it matters but when I went in July the water was knee deep, when I went in October it was up to my chest. Now I'm only 5ft tall so wasn't gonna drown but it was just different. It was also a little more windy so I'm just gonna chalk it up to a new "season". Still had a great experience but I will more than likely make my sandbar trips in the summer vs the "fall". Still a great friendly crew so don't forget to bring cash to tip them at the end!

I booked this cruise for myself and my family. My son was 11 at the time and about 4 feet tall. I only say this so it makes sense. Well we got there later than we wanted to (we live on island and drove ourselves). Couldn't find parking and the crew let us know where we could park because the little store next to the boats is actually closed for good so that worked out! So yes if you are driving yourself get there early so you aren't freaking out too lol. We got on and they took us to the sandbar where they set up a volleyball net for us and we all got off where the water was down to our knees. So my child wasn't in any danger of drowning. The meal was the most basic hamburger bbq thing you can probably imagine so don't think you are getting some 5 course meal. It def hit the spot and I did not mind it at all. They offered some beer choices and wine as well as non-alcoholic drinks. The alcohol was not free. Not a big deal at all and didn't expect it to be. They took card and cash :) After a little bit of being out there we went out to a reef and were given gear to go snorkeling. It was beautiful. We were also pointed out things such as Gilligan's island at some point. Lastly we saw turtles and the crew had music playing through the trip. They were very nice. Don't bring too much stuff with you tho because when it was at 100% capacity you had to really squish. Towel, water, sunscreen and your own alcohol is what you should probably bring lol. Overall great July experience, great crew and perfect for taking your visiting family and friends from the mainland. Don't forger to bring cash to leave tips at the end of the trip!

The crew were amazing! They not only showed us where to find all the turtles while we snorkeled (saw about 5/6 different turtles surfacing a million times right next to us), they followed a pod of dolphins for a while so we could get a good view and watch them in their element. We drove around the water for a bit before going back as well so you can snack and drink after snorkeling. The weather was amazing and we were the only boat out there (did the 8AM tour) for majority of the time so had all the ocean to ourselves! Some people didn’t/couldn’t snorkel but they hanged out on the Net of the Catamaran with their drinks and still had a great time napping and drinking lol.

And the bonus is after your done snorkeling the host give you Mai Tai's and beers on the trip back to shore! I would highly recommend this cruise it was one of the highlights of my trip!

The staff was super friendly towards my boyfriend! Especially Noah. My boyfriend recently was involved in a motorcycle accident leaving him blind and with limited range of motion. The crew was super understanding and respectful of our decision to attempt to have him try snorkeling blind. (Yes it was super scary and hard, we didn’t end up going through with it!) But it was their respectfulness and compassion for me ❤️. Totally recommend! Also I did end up snorkeling a bit and one of the guys helped me swim to the turtles and was right there in case anyone needed help! 10/10!!
