Phenomenal
The crew were amazing, captain Chris was a hoot and the two ladies assisting were phenomenal. We powered up into the wind to Honolua Bay to snorkel , awesome, then snorkeled two locations and had lunch waiting for us when we got out, double awesome. Then we hoisted the sails and caught a ride back to harbor on the wind. This would be amazing for family, for young and old adventurers alike.

Excellent experience....
Excellent experience. Snorkeling was for all levels of swimmer: starter, intermittent and experienced. We were able to see turtles, golden eels and lots of different fishes. Sunset was amazing.

Snorkeling with turtles and BBQ dinner
Beautiful tour in a magnificent place. The bay where we went snorkeling was beautiful, the boat very clean and the food in line with expectations.
Captain and crew were super welcoming, with lots of explanations, and they made it an excellent boat trip.

Pac Whale Snorkel was great!
We were a party of ten with four kids ages 2 -11. A wonderful 4 hours on the ocean snorkeling and jut playing in the water. Extra care given to safety and I appreciated the lifeguards in the water as well. They were pointing out things as well as teaching all the while making everyone was safe, wouldn’t hesitate to beef them agin.

Amazing experience
We absolutely loved this tour, the staff was amazing and educated us on ocean life.
We saw the amazing undersea life at the snorkel location, we felt safe and comfortable. During the sunset cruise we heard and saw whales, just a beautiful experience. The dinner was grilled fresh on the boat and there was plenty for a second round. Danielle and team did a great job of hosting us and Cynthia our photographer took great photos in order to share our memories with family. Would highly recommend this tour and so worth purchasing the photos from Cynthia

Order the Captain’s special and you get to ring the bell.
Friendly crew, super clean catamaran. Snorkeling was wonderful. Had a turtle swim right up to us. Fish were plentiful at the sunken pier. Bonus was the whale tails we witnessed. Unexpected pleasure! Sunset was beautiful. You get to ring the bell after snorkeling if you are ordering the captains special. I had the grilled chicken and Coleslaw- no bell ringing for me but it was yummy anyway.

Great experience!
Great crew and experience. Good food too. You need to check-in at store on 2nd floor then go to boat slip. Long walk if you have difficulty walking. We were able to drive our car.

Not worth it
Not worth the money in my opinion. Crew was every friendly and attentive so that was nice. But the majority of the time is spent on a boat. The listing states they provide a "snorkeling 101" but that never happened. It was a beautiful day and my friends that were able to get the hang of it had a great time. However spending this much money on a boat ride to be given flippers and a mask and told :good luck!" was not worth it to me.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback about your experience. I would very much like to hear more about your experience and the "good luck" comment so we can address any issues internally. We always want our guests to have an amazing time, but getting direct feedback when those expectations are not met is invaluable to us. Please contact me at johngaskins@pacwhale.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
