We took our daughter, her husband and our two grandsons (age 10 & 11) on the dolphin snorkel cruise. While on the way to the snorkelling destination, we saw lots of flying fish that looked like big dragonflies & lots of dolphins, some of which were spinning & jumping. We had as much fun watching them as did our grandsons.
We were delighted that when snorkelling, the water was warm enough as not to need a wetsuit. We saw a good variety of fish but no turtles were present that day. Our grandsons loved sliding down the waterslide into the ocean & loved hanging out on the rafts. Breakfast was a box of muffins & a sweet roll & lunch was a delicious cheeseburger cooked on the boat.
We would recommend for those not used to being on the water that they take a motion sickness medication the night before & bring one with them as well. Although we felt the swells were minimal, several passengers did vomit and quite a few others were motion sick and it was a shame that their enjoyment of this wonderful adventure was compromised by not taking something.
Finally, another highlight of this trip was the extremely competent and friendly crew. While people were in the water, there were several lifeguards patrolling the water making sure everyone was safe. (Unlike some other snorkelling trips, guests were able to snorkel on their own and venture a comfortable distance from the boat.)
I gave this trip 5 stars because they ticked all the boxes: great boat, great crew, good food, lots to see & lots to do. They were very safety conscious while encouraging everyone to have a great time!

Aloha Kikilodica,
Mahalo for joining us and taking the time to write such a thoughtful, thorough review! We are most grateful!
It's always so incredible to hear back from our valued guests to hear that we ticked all the boxes of being a great boat, great crew, good food with lots to see and do! Thank you for noticing our attention to our guests' safety it's our number one priority with fun being a close number two!
Thank you too for your suggestion to readers who know they have the propensity for motion sickness. A little preparation can go a long way! Taking an over the counter remedy the night before and morning of does wonders!
Thank you again Kikilodica, we are so happy that you had a wonderful experience and hope to see you and your family again someday soon!
Best regards!
