Great snorkeling Experience

The boat had plenty of seating both in the shade and sun. Both breakfast and lunch were delicious! Plus the crew provided snacks throughout the trip. All The crew were friendly and attentive. Snorkeling was easy and the crew acted as lifeguards for those needing assistance. This trip was great for families- we traveled with 3 grandparents and they were able to snorkel for a bit with assistance from the crew and then enjoy relaxing on the boat while the rest of us continued snorkeling. All in all a wonderful experience!

Perfect snorkeling adventure for families!
Susan_G
, Jul 2022
The crew was fantastic and the ship was well equipped for every thing you could need for snorkeling. The first stop was pretty limited to where you could swim so I had to be careful not to bump into other snorkelers from my boat. But the second stop actually required swimming for about 10 minutes out to look for turtles. I really liked the nice variety of food and drinks included-the bbq pork was delicious! Everyone was so nice and helpful and made the trip lots of fun. Plus we had great weather for sailing. It’s a bigger boat which also helped prevent motion sickness. I would recommend going especially if you’re new (or it’s been a long time) to snorkeling or have children with you. They had a range of flotation devices to help you feel safe and relaxed in the water.

Vijetha_A

The tour itself was good. Captain and his crew were informative, attentive, helpful and sweet. However, I am giving 3 stars. I reduced 1 star because, I did not see as many fish as I had hoped. You can see more fish and varieties if you go to any other beach for free. I know it's not their fault. But I did pay for a snorkeling tour. I reduced another star for food. We are vegetarians and we got a side salad as our main. I was not expecting that when their website said vegetarian options available. Vegetarians need carbs and protein too. Especially, after a 2 hour swim in the ocean. Now to the good part. The tour had slides and dive boards to jump into the 200ft deep ocean. When is that not fun! They had a smaller slide and a big slide keeping kids and adults in mind. We got free ice creams. Because of the deep water, I learnt how to dive underwater. They gave us good snorkel gears, differnt kinds of floatation, wet suit (if required), crew members on the water continuously guiding and helping us. The crater itself was beautiful to look at. Overall, it was a good way to spend the morning. If you have kids, I would highly recommend this tour (you know your kid is safe and can look at the deep deep ocean).

We are changing our catering company and will be improving upon the food that is available to our customers. We are glad to hear that you and your family still had a great time snorkeling and jumping off of the diving boards. Mahalo!

Boat and staff excellent, snorkeling average
pierre_m

Snorkeling at crater was OK, if you’ve never snorkeled in tropical waters I think it’d be a hit. If you have before, this location doesn’t offer much different. The turtle town was a “washout” visibility was too low, which was obviously disappointing as this was basically why we booked the trip but out of everyone’s control. The ship was nice and big enough to take sea sickness out of the equation. The food was good (lacking solid vegetarian options for lunch). The staff was excellent, very friendly, helpful, and safety conscious-probably the best staff I’ve ever experienced on an excursion.
