Wonderful combination of cruise and snorkel. Crew were super friendly and patient with a beginning snorkeler. Also, the photo package option was well done and so useful for a solo traveler!

The pictures taken by the photographer were not professional looking. He didn’t seem too interested in capturing good pictures, just random weird ones. Review them well on the screen before you purchase them so you’re not disappointed after you purchase.
Other than that all was good, crew mostly pleasant and service oriented. Food and drinks were good. Overall enjoyed.

From the Captain, all the way to the photographer, guide , bartender and all the crews were amazing. Me, my husband and my 11 year old son had a memorable fantastic time. My son’s first snorkeling experience, he had the time of his life. The crews really answered a lot of questions my son had. He learned a lot about the Cruise (Catamaran, very educational due to knowledgable crews,) Highly recommended, I would book it again if I am in the area.

What to expect
After pickup from your central Waikiki hotel, travel by comfortable air-conditioned coach to the marina where you board the 61-foot (18.5-meter) catamaran for your 3.5-hour cruise. You can choose from three departure times — morning, midday or afternoon — to suit your schedule.
Head north along the pristine western coast of Oahu to look for dolphins, whales (when in season), flying fish, green sea turtles and more. When your captain locates a pod of dolphins or whales, your boat stops to allow you to get an excellent view of the mighty mammals from the spacious deck. Your expert crew can answer any questions that you may have about the animals you see.
Afterward, your captain steers the boat into a special spot for snorkeling. Put on the provided gear and receive detailed safety and snorkeling instruction. Then hop in the water to marvel at colorful corals and a multitude of fish. Enjoy an hour of snorkeling in the clear tropical waters, with guides available to assist you with fish identification throughout your exploration.
Back on the boat, you can rinse off in one of the boat’s six warm, freshwater showers. Two changing rooms and restrooms are also available.
Once the snorkelers return to the boat, the crew serves unlimited non-alcoholic beverages or your choice of beer, wine, mai tai or margarita (up to four alcoholic drinks included). Then tuck into a sumptuous Hawaiian buffet that may include teriyaki chicken, kalua pig (pulled pork), potato-pasta salad, rice and fresh fruit. As you eat inside the cabin, your boat begins a leisurely cruise back to the marina.
Throughout the tour, your captain and crew shares the history and legends of the Waianae Coast. A professional photographer takes photos both on the boat and in the water, which you have the option to purchase back at the dock before you're returned to your Waikiki hotel.
