Worth every penny, We will be doing this again when we return to the islands. The crew was friendly, interactive with everyone, and also very caring and attentive to the folks that didn’t have their sea legs. The day we went, we swam with 3 spinner dolphins, and some bottle nose, then on the way to the coral reef we saw a pod of over 500 dolphins. The snorkel, slide, paddle board spot was rad as well, legit like diving into a nature film. Getting to see a sea turtle in nature was just an amazing end to an already awesome day! To the crew and cpt. Mahalo for such a great adventure!

We loved this tour. Thought I was going to be scared but I didn’t hesitate to jump in. Everybody was super nice and we felt like we had ample time in the water with the sharks. We saw SO MANY. It was a very cool experience that we won’t forget. Make sure to take some sea sickness pills. Some people on our boat couldn’t handle the waves. Everybody was a good sport about it though. Super fun!!

Went by myself with three kids, they were amazing at making sure none of kids died . This was our first time snorkeling so it was very much a learning experience.

It was cool experience, nice drinks. There weren't many turtles and the sea was not very clear there so we couldn't see many fishes or nature.

This experience was amazing and the crew even better. Got to see three sharks, and although my heart was pounding I felt shockingly safe and had a great time. Would definitely do it again and I don’t think I could do/experience it any other way but this way again. Please do check these guys out! 100% recommend!

The Crew of the Honu Lani was great. Jimmy, the Captain gave clear and informative safety briefing and also snorkeling recommendations. He was very professional and his crew was EVERYWHERE! They were at the stern when we got in and out of the water, at the bar serving beverages, putting out lunch, in the water when we were snorkeling. Crew was Andrea, Alek, Marco and another girl interviewing for a deckhand job. They were all great! Andrea was so nice and helped the passengers nonstop the entire cruise. Alek is the man, (I think Bernie Sanders is his Dad). A friend of mine jumped off the side of the boat and her iWatch came off. This Cat (Alek) jumped in like David Hasselhoff and came up with it on the first dive down. I think he was more surprised than we were, it is a big Ocean. Marco was nice also, sorry guy, did not talk to you much.
Overall, great cruise. 95% great because of the crew!

This was hands down the best excursion/activity we did on both Maui and Oahu. The crew, especially Erin, were super helpful and great! We saw over a dozen sharks at one time. Only thing we wish we did differently was choosing an earlier tour time so that the water was less choppy and rough. Definitely bring an underwater camera.

This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.

This was the most interesting excursion I’ve ever had. I saw 2 turtles which was the main reason I wanted to go. The sea life was so interesting, wasn’t what I had expected. I highly recommend doing this if you’re interested in ocean life. I saw a live star fish on the bottom and a mortar shell. The guides were also very interesting and funny.

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.

We participated as a family of five, with the youngest being five years old. It was quite hard with diving in and out of the sea... It would be fine for just adults, but it can be tiring with small children. We finally got to see the dolphins at the end, and the excitement when we saw them was immense. We also had a little time for snorkeling, which was fun. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and from the boat, we saw many sea turtles and dolphins, but we couldn't swim together with many of them... I want to try again next time. It's definitely worth participating!
家族5人で参加しました。1番下は5歳。
結構ハードに海にダイブしたり上がったりと…大人だけなら良いですが小さな子連れだと疲れます。肝心のイルカは最後にやっと見れました。見れた時の感動は大きかったです。少しだけシュノーケリングの時間もあり楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでも海亀さん見れて船の上からは何度も海亀さん見れて、船の上からは沢山イルカ見れましたが一緒に沢山はさほど泳げませんでした…また次回トライしたいです。参加する価値はあります‼︎
Thank you for participating! The situation with the wild dolphins varies each time, so please come back for another new experience. I look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo
ご参加ありがとうございました!
野生のイルカの状況は毎回違いますので、是非また新たな体験にいらしてくださいね。
またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています!
