We had a great trip!! Captain and crew were very enjoyable. Saw lots of different fish. Also got some history of the shoreline on the return trip.

Very fun boat ride out to the bay! We did see dolphins up close from the boat. On the way back we tucked along the coast and saw the caves. Boat ride was fast and not for someone wanting a smooth ride over.

Eric was an awesome captain and tour guide. We were the first group to snorkel this morning. We loved the small size of the snorkel group and his knowledge to answer questions. Would certainly take this tour again!

We were a party of 10 and everything went smoothly. It was myself and husband, my parents and my 4 adult children plus two significant others. Everyone enjoyed the day out on the water and some saw an octopus, stingray and eel !! Sadly we didn’t see any dolphins but that’s ok, maybe next time !!

Erik and Peyton were incredibly kind warm and inviting. Getting the experience of this trip and boat ride was a highlight for us. Incredible views, awesome tropical fish. We saw spinner dolphins, turtles, and MANTA RAY! It was incredible. The boat ride alone was so awesome. Erik took us on a ride we’ll never forget. THANK YOU! Aloha!

We loved this experience! The instructions were clear and we were safe and entertained the entire trip. Plenty of time in the water! Dennis and Shawn had fresh pineapple, water, and humor that made the experience memorable once we headed back toward the dock as well.

We accidentally went to the wrong location and were 15 minutes late, but the captain waited for us, which was an absolute blessing. The captain was funny and cool. He took us to some spots along the coast after the snorkel. Beautiful views of course and there were a lot of fish. He cut up some pineapple and it was just an overall amazing experience.

DO NOT BOOK! SCAM! Worst experience ever! The boat NEVER showed up! Zero communication! Second time we wasted our entire last day and didn’t get to do a boat trip because we booked here. Happened with a fishing trip last year in Kauai too! Then an hour later somebody casually returns my call asking if I called and when I say “yeah the boat never showed” they say “oh it’s in the shop” nice try, thanks for the call. Even a refund doesn’t make up for an entire lost last day on the island and lost experience when we could have gone with a reputable company. All the other boats showed up had a canopy and left with their passengers on time.

We were supposed to meet at 7:50am, I got there at 7:40am with another family. No one ever showed up and later on the family got ahold of the third party they booked it with and got told the operator didn’t have a boat and won’t take us out! This is ridiculous. I am still waiting on my refund. The operator hasn’t reached out to me since

This provider doesn’t answer phone calls and changes appointments before checking your availability. Worst customer service EVER!! STAY AWAY!!
