    Best Family Snorkeling Experience!

    SO THANKFUL for this trip. We are a family of four, kids are 6 & 3. I knew that snorkeling would be a stretch for my kids. This sandbar tour was the best option for us and worked out in all aspects. We did the afternoon snorkeling option with pick up from Waikiki. Shuttle was on time and driver was so friendly. Our crew onboard was Casey, Ryan and Izumi. We also had some help on shore from Karen (I think). Our tour crew was so kind and fun. Most of our tour was Japanese. Having Izumi on board for their language needs was not only fun for us to listen to as well, but also demonstrated the care the crew gave to us. Once out to the sandbar, one kid was so scared to go into the ocean. Casey was kind to encourage and reassure along with me. They had so many paddleboards, floating mats, life jackets, squirt guns and other things. Just being on the sandbar was fun! We even had two turtles swim through our group during that time. It was exciting to see them and to make sure no one touched them with them being so close! When we got to the snorkeling section, my older kid was suddenly so nervous. I was grateful for the option to have the window float boards for her to be on top of while I snorkeled and took her around. Casey was also encouraging to her, reminding her that we're all together and what she would see. He was helpful for us as parents knowing we were balancing two kids with different needs and fears. But we did it!! We saw so many fish and so many turtles. I was emotional out there knowing it was something we would talk about for years to come. The snacks and warm drinks on board when we got on and especially after our water time was SO appreciated and made for happy kids. Thank you for this family friendly option and we are so glad to have picked this as our ocean experience.
