We sailed inside the Maunalua Bay, I went with my 3 kids and it was an exhilarating experience. We were equipped with yellow inflatable vest and snorkel equipment. Once I got comfortable in the water I deflated my vest, I also wore a wet suit for more warmth and buoyancy. 13 and 16 year old went out with Kirk to the turtles immediately, a little bit away from the boat (hold on tight to the surf board handle and relax your body so you can be towed to the turtle area). 16 year got knocked off her grip on the surf board and swam the rest of the way, she also had a snorkel malfunction and had to get a replacement. The water bounced us up and down which made it a bit unnerving for my 10 year old, so he sat on the boat ledge and watched from above. There were a group of tropical fish right at the boat. The turtles were so lovely to watch and we got lucky by a turtle that came up right under us as we were heading back to the boat. Captain and diver Kirk were both great!
