Jill and Lexi were amazing hosts and guides. We loved our time with them. Very knowledgeable and lots of wildlife. Weather was extremely windy but they still found us great spots to snorkel.

Jill and Lexi were amazing crew. Very safe and informative, great tour!! We saw dolphins almost immediately
This tour was amazing and well worth the money! The smaller size of the group made the experience more intimate and fun, and the size of the boat made nature encounters (we ran into a pod of dolphins, including a baby dolphin!) more exciting -- up close and personal! The boat was in good condition, and Jill was a great driver. The guides were amazing and went the extra mile to make sure we found the best cove with ideal conditions to make sure we had the best snorkeling experience possible. We had two teens with us, and they also had a great time! Casey and Jill were fantastic. Friendly, knowledgable, and made everyone feel secure and safe. I can't swim and have never been snorkeling, and they were very attentive and made me feel safe from start to finish. They kept checking on me to make sure I was comfortable, and I ended up having an amazing time with no nerves.
Lexi and Chad are always great to do snorkeling tours with. Had a blast! You guys are great! See you in Feb for whale watching!
Wonderful experience, we were very satisfied, Jill and Casey were super nice, and the food was very delicious. We saw so many turtles, fish, and even a ray. Gladly again!!
Two snorkeling spots, saw lots of different fish. Pods of dolphins on the way to Lana’i. Turtle while snorkeling in second spot. Great music while on board. Kacy and Capt Jill were amazing and had fun nuggets of info to share. Husband and I, along with three teenaged boys, all had a blast.
Jill and Lexi were awesome. this was a great trip. Smaller boat. Less people. Good music. Fun banter between the crew. We saw dolphins, lots of great fish and a baby hammer head shark. We would recommend this tour over all the big boats with the 60 people. Very professional crew. Great boat. Food, snacks and cookies!!!
Jillian and Lexi took us on an adventure of a lifetime. They were a great crew! We felt safe and they gave thorough instructions. We were able to see dolphins, many green sea turtles and even a baby hammerhead shark (apparently a rare sighting)! We very much enjoyed our time and 100% recommend it! You won’t regret it!

Crew was fun and knowledgeable. Was fun for the kids. Saw all the sea animals promised and had a great boat ride.
I highly recommend this trip. The guides were fantastic. We were a family of 7. Two of our group had never snorkeled, they were given instruction and felt very comfortable at both stops. We saw turtles, spotted eagle rays, lots of fish and beautiful coral. On the way back we saw a large pod of dolphins. I was very impressed with our guides.
