    Review summary

    Excellent
    740 reviews•Google Maps

    The crew here consistently gets praise for being friendly, fun, and safety-conscious, with guests calling out names like Captain Jack, Shaun, Johnny, and Lauren for making the trips memorable. People love the boat itself, describing it as beautiful and well-maintained, and the vibe is reliably chill with good music playing throughout. Most trips successfully spot sea turtles during snorkeling, and some lucky groups even catch dolphins swimming alongside the boat. The snorkeling experience seems solid overall, with the crew helping guests feel comfortable with equipment and finding good spots to see turtles and fish. One reviewer noted a more crowded snorkeling scene with several boats around one turtle and murky water, and felt the sailing portion fell short of expectations with only one sail deployed instead of the full setup. That said, this appears to be an isolated experience among otherwise glowing reviews. The sunset trips get special mentions for being peaceful and beautiful, making them a great way to wind down an evening in Hawaii.

    This was our 5th whale watching experience, but by far the best ever! WAY more personal! Communication was phenomenal, everyone was able to experience CLOSE and intimate whale and sea turtle encounters thanks to their boat and crew. The bigger boats just cannot compare. We will definitely repeat our excursions with them in the future!
