Mind blowing

goodginabad, Apr 2024

Great crew! Matt was awesome! Tip them! The day was spectacular. It was an adventure! The instructions were very clear. The only thing I regret was not understanding that I should have picked up some goggles that would have accommodated my prescription glasses but it was okay.

Great way to experience snorkeling for the first time or if you are not an experienced swimmer.

Andrew_M, Apr 2024

The most memorable part was when we saw the sea turtles. It was a very fun and safe environment. Tour guides were very nice, helpful and knowledgeable.

Too fun to pass up

Melissa_E, Apr 2024

Knowledgeable and understanding, very easy going and safe. I had an amazing trip with my family... highly recommend them.

We went to a turtles apartment!

Alexander_K, Apr 2024

My partner and I had an amazing time on this adventure. We saw two sea turtles, which is not guaranteed, it was very special! Miles was our tour guide, he was funny and knowledgable. There were two other trainees on our excursion which were very helpful and kind. Miles and his team were good about making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. There were people on the trip that seemed uneasy in the water, however they were well looked after. Over all I would recommend this adventure to anyone that is traveling to this area.

Felt like we had our own personal tour

Tina_V, Apr 2024

Izzy and Kiomi (hopefully I spelled both names right) were very accommodating to us. My husband and I were the only two for the tour so it was just as if we had our own personal guides! Izzy was very informative about what we would see, and how safety was #1. My mask kept getting filled with water, so i couldn't snorkel correctly. Izzy gave up her mask to me, and I was finally able to see clearly. This was our first time snorkeling the ocean, which was a little bit challenging at first, but we were able to get it figured out with the help of Izzy and Kiomi. We even got to swim next to a sea turtle! Izzy dove down to bring up a sea cucumber and an urchin, to show us and give us a little info on them. Overall, it was so awesome seeing tropical wildlife that isn't in a glass water tank. ❤️Mahalo!❤️

Excellent adventure...

Heather_P, Apr 2024

I was so impressed with Matt our guide. His instruction was excellent and delivered in a humorous manner which helps if you are nervous. I feel it was worth every penny, I paid for our adventure.

Awesome experience

Dave_K, Apr 2024

Matt was a great guide—especially for beginning and intermediate snorkelers. He is very safety conscious and knowledgeable. His explanations often involve a witty humor that will both entertain and inform.

Izzy, Ben and Luke were amazing. Very helpful for us that were first timers. Highly recommend this experience.

Cannot wait to book again!!

Kali_C, Mar 2024

Matt was truly the most incredible guide to take a snorkel tour with! He was so very knowledgeable of things above and below water. He was patient with our group and more than willing to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves. He was even a great source for local eats and sights!

Turtles and more

Mary_G, Mar 2024

Ben was very good in providing clear safety instructions and directing me to see a lot. 3 turtles, lots of colorful fish, a large school of fish and coral. Great experience

Saw a turtle

Bodhi_M, Mar 2024

Tour was very fun guide (Ben) was ahead of schedule and very knowledgeable so we got to spend extra time in the water. I saw three turtles and many colorful fish and coral. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to see some cool marine life.

Undersea adventure

Joseph_O, Mar 2024

We had a half dozen green sea turtles snorkeling with us! Our guide was very knowledgeable, also dove down and picked up some sea cucumbers from the bottom so we could see and feel them up close!

Ask for Matt

Dawn_B, Mar 2024

Matt was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and kind. It's clear he loves taking care of people. We had a calm clear water day, saw 3 sea turtles, as well as many fish and coral. I recommend you do this and ask for Matt.

Too fun not to share with others

Dominic_C, Feb 2024

Thank you Miles! We loved the turtles and thank you for getting the urchin for us to see up close. Cool. We had so much fun, I told a group from the conference I was attending and they booked a snorkeling adventure for Saturday morning. Great memories. The Carrs

Kauai Zodiac Adventure

Laura_A, Feb 2024

We felt like we were in a different world. The lady that was our guide took care of us very well and we felt safe. We were inexperienced snorkelers and she was patient and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this experience for new snorkelers.
