The captain and the crew were amazing! We had a very good time. My girlfriend and I booked this tour because we didn't want to hike or kayak to the Captain Cook monument. The tour was about 3 hours and 30 minutes long, and the boat was a joy to ride in. I personally like adventure, and the smaller boat provided a better experience than the bigger boats I've been on tours with. I really enjoyed the ride out to the Captain Cook monument. It was about 30-45 minutes long, and it was fun because we sat at the front of the boat, holding on the rails.

Such an incredible trip! Hunter and Shelly were fantastic…very knowledgeable and helpful! Loved that it only allowed 6 passengers. We are a family of five so we had a sweet woman along for the ride. Pineapple at the end was a great touch

The small group experience ensured we had individual attention according to our experience with snorkeling, skill levels, and tips that helped us each be comfortable and safe. The captain was attentive to safety protocols and procedures. The crew were very attentive to our comfort and safety in the water. We saw fantastic varieties of fish, coral, and urchins, many of which the guides would point out specifically. We even got a few history lessons at points along the shore of cultural significance.

Shelly the captain and Brent the swim guide are SO nice and really make this family experience a fun a memorable time. Our kids (10 &12) favorite part of vacation by far! They were both thoughtful and attentive and took the time to find ways to make the trip fun for the whole family, truly can’t thank them enough!!!
