My sister and I had an amazing time. It was her first real snorkeling adventure and the crew were very hopeful. I know there were seven crew members, but I only remember Melissa, Brianna, Evan, and Tyler by name. Everyone went above and beyond. We had such a great time with the music and scenery. I highly recommend this adventure for sure!

Such a fun day with our kids. Everything was great from the start. We saw humpback whales on the way to our snorkel spot. My kids loved the slide and jumping platform. After we snorkeled we went looking for more sealife and found a pod of melon headed whales, over 100 whales! It was amazing to see. Then we were joined by some spinner dolphins as we headed to the pier. Highly recommend this tour!

Out of our group of 8 people 6 of us threw up non stop - I had to lay down and basically try to sleep for half the excursion to try and not be as sick. There was no way we could eat any of the food. Looking around, 2/3 of the people on the entire excursion were bent over with sickness bags completely sick as well. And the rest of the people who I thought were ok, exclaimed in pure relief when we finally docked back and the excursion was over. Moral of the story is that they should have cancelled due to rough water. There water was so rough and we had children - swimming was extremely difficult, let alone trying to snorkel and see any fish. We also didn’t see any dolphins. - We did see whales, and the staff were very nice. But, I still think they should have cancelled. Our entire group was just in sock and laughing over had bad our time was during this.

Aloha MissMightyMax, Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the ocean conditions impacted your excursion so significantly. Seasickness can be incredibly tough, and we understand how disappointing it must have been for you and your group to spend much of the trip feeling unwell. While we always prioritize guest safety and monitor ocean conditions closely, ocean conditions can sometimes change en route. We regret that the experience was not what you had hoped for and appreciate your feedback on how challenging it was for you and many other guests. As a general rule we always recommend that if any guest knows they have a predisposition to motion sickness that they take an over an over the counter motion sickness remedy at least one hour prior to boarding. We are glad to hear you encountered whales and that our crew provided great service despite the circumstances. Your input is invaluable to us, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we continue striving to provide the best possible experience.
