Unfortunately our trip was canceled while on the water due to a technical issue with the boat so we weren’t able to snorkel , however the time we spent on the boat was amazing. Crew were friendly and there weren’t many passengers which felt like we had the whole boat to ourselves. If I could have rebooked, I would have.
I brought my 3 y/o with me, who was nervous about swimming in the ocean, but all the staff were so friendly and the boat was so comfortable he was ready to jump right in at snorkle time! Tyler, Lane, Gale and Captain Tim were very attentive to all the guests and created a wonderful experience for us. We will definitely book another tour!
This is our second time booking this day cruise! We had the best time and the crew was amazing. We will do this trip every time we come to the big island:)
Professional knowledgeable crew but the snorkelling was just average. That’s not the fault for the boat. The boat was clean and safe . For the price we paid to be a little better food than just a sandwich. 🥪
i didn’t enjoy the experience. it was hard to find the location and no directions were provided. i had to call the main branch number (located in another island) and get directions. we were not allowed to drink until after we snorkeled (unusual from my previous experiences). there was only one option of sandwich. the entire experience felt rushed. would not recommend.
This was a great tour. We are from the east coast (mainland US) so Hawai’i waters can be pretty intimidating. Our guides made us feel so comfortable and safe going in the water. They were very hospitable and provided great service— drinks and snacks anytime we needed something! There were only 12 people on our trip which was an added bonus. For the price, if you plan on snorkeling and having an adult beverage or two with lunch, the value of this tour is well worth it. For a 3 hour tour we spent about 1 hour in the water and 2 sightseeing.
It was an amazing tour! Michael, Cesar and Georgia were knowledgeable, attentive and kind! The kids had so much fun!
Snorkeling for a mother daughter trip and it was a great morning! We swam with a sea turtle and saw some beautiful fish on the reef! The crew was so kind and enjoyable to talk with on our trip. Would recommend this experience!
The catamaran, its Captain and crew were great. Awesome experience. We loved everything about this ride.
Mike, Barefoot and Caesar were brilliant hosts and looked after us really well. No complaints at all about the cruise. Getting there from the cruise ship was challenging. They need maybe to say get to the dive shop on the harbour. That way you don’t get dropped off on the wrong side like us. Thankfully Barefoot came and picked us up Not a moan. Just trying to help in the future. Mike spent half an hour telling guests where to meet
