    So glad you enjoyed snorkeling in Kaneohe Bay! Quite a few of the fish out there are endemic to Hawaii, so ask our crew about them next time you are out with us. They love sharing what they know. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We hope to welcome you back again soon. A hui hou 🌺

    Fantastic Journey

    First time snorkeling with my daughter, the Captain’s team are always helpful and reliable. We have really fun time there, I even see a beautiful turtle swimming around me! We do appreciate the team’s great job, especially for Mr. Kaieb, he always appears nicely whenever we need help.

    A first snorkeling trip with your daughter is a special thing to be part of, and having a turtle swim right around you makes it even better! Kaiea has a way of showing up exactly when someone needs him, and he will be so glad to know you noticed. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We hope to welcome you both back again soon. A hui hou 🌺

    Best All Female Crew

    Best family experience! Our group of 30 had an amazing time, and the crew went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. They were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and helpful, making the entire excursion seamless and unforgettable. Every single person in our group had a fantastic time, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories for our family and friends—we'll be talking about this trip for years to come!

    Thirty guests and every single one had a great time. That is a wonderful thing to hear! Knowing your family and friends will be talking about the day for years to come is the best compliment we could ask for. Our all female crew put a lot of heart into making large groups feel just as looked after as a small group. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Reviews like yours remind us how lucky we are to be part of days like this. We hope to welcome your group back again soon. A hui hou 🌺

    All Good

    I had a wonderful experience with Captain Hosanna, Hannah and Jamie. Great crew and ensured everyone was safe and had a good time. It was a higher tide, so the sandbar was not visible. The "Hannah" Guarantee did not disappoint and several sea turtles were seen during the snorkeling portion of the tour. It was a great day and I totally encourage any and everyone to take the time and do the tour.

    The "Hannah Guarantee" might be our new favorite phrase! We will make sure to share this with the whole team, especially Hannah! High tide days have their own beauty, and we are glad the turtles still showed up for you. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and for encouraging others to come out. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon. A hui hou 🌺
