Really an excellent tour! We had a bar and some snacks for the trip. The snorkeling part was awesome and informative. We even saw a sea urchin,parrotfish, and starfish.
Fantastic Crew very knowledgeable and experienced people who were always very helpful................
The crew was very helpful and friendly, and the equipment was thoroughly cleaned. The boat clearly displayed all licenses. It was a very enjoyable trip with detailed explanations and a focus on safety. Drinks and a snack were provided. We saw many fish and turtles. I highly recommend the company.
This is a a great excursion!! Captain Ryan and his crew were awesome. We saw lots of colorful fish and even a reef shark, not to mention all the turtles. Great time with a great crew.
Excellent experience start to finish. There are so many options but this trip by-far was the best. Captain Greg was fun and extremely knowledgeable, the staff was amazing and so pleasant. Lunch was delicious. Highly recommend
Great snorkeling and great crew! We saw a shark, octopus and like 7 sea turtles! The music and drinks were fire too!!
Five stars for Hawaii Nautical! The entire crew—Captain Christopher, Kelsie, and Cat—were absolutely fantastic, exceptionally friendly, and so helpful throughout the trip. The ride out on their huge catamaran was incredibly smooth and comfortable as we headed out to see the sea turtles. The absolute highlight of the day was an unexpected surprise: the crew got word that a super rare whale shark was in the area. They didn't hesitate and quickly got us over there to see it, turning an already great day into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this amazing crew!
We had a wonderful experience! Great crew and lots of fun. I would highly recommend this catamaran sail! Oh and we saw lots of sea turtles too!
Crew and guide were great, family had a a good time wouldn’t recommend for smaller kids or ones inexperienced with snorkeling.
Excellent experience! Signed up solo and had a great time. Shuttle service was luxurious, boat was big and staff were friendly. Lunch was provided with food allergy accommodation and tasty cocktails at the bar on board. If you’re looking at a catamaran boat tour, this one was top tier.
