Rude Captain
Vicky_C
, Jun 2022
The excursion was a blast and the crew was amazing except for the older man ( I believe he was the captain) who was very rude to my daughter and grandson. My grandson came back from snorkeling to eat so returned the snorkel gear to someone on the deck. When he was ready to go back, my daughter went to get another one for him. And the old man (not going to call him a gentleman because he was not) asked “where’s the other one, are you going to steal it?”
My daughter did not say anything because she thought he was joking.
And I thought we all had to rinse when we come back because that is what hey said in the beginning, so I asked where do we rinsed. He took the hose and sprayed my face and said this is not a hotel. Water is rare so we have to conserve.
I paid a lot of money for 7 people to go in this trip because of the reviews. But for someone to treat me and my family like that is very bad business. His comments are not jokes. I am a professional and I work in the medical field and I don’t ever treat my customers the way he did. I will not recommend this trip because Of him.
The other crew member were awesome except for him.
Amazing!

This was a very fun morning trip! The crew is very cohesive and they have a great system for getting you your snorkel equipment and your food fast. They also were there to help toss out extra inner tubes or whatever you needed while you’re in the water. The slides were fun! The water was refreshing and so blue. The food was vegetarian and delicious! The best part is that they didn’t overload this boat, so you don’t have to worry about not having your own space to sit with your family. We were able to leave all of our stuff in the same spot for the duration of the trip and nobody bothered it.
I saw a parrot fish...

I was a little worried since i only booked for my daughters and I for Mother’s Day, having little ones can be a bit difficult especially being a single parent. But we had the most memorable experience of a lifetime. They were AMAZING with my daughters and I! The employees would help them, play with them and even watched over us while swimming. I am beyond happy and felt completely safe during our trip!
This is it!! Your perfect day!

I’ve been on many snorkeling excursions in Maui, Jamaica, Mexico...but this was the icing on the cake! The crew...top notch! Friendly & professional! The boat..clean, fun..smooth! We were on a morning trip & fed a delicious breakfast & lunch with an afternoon desert. The snorkeling was breathtaking. No matter what age or swimming ability..they offered a variety of equipment for your enjoyment. Slides & jumping platforms as well. To see the island & it’s beautiful coast line was dreamy. We will do this again & again. Perfect day! ❤️🌺
Morning Snorkeling on the big island

The reef was beautiful and in great shape. Fish were abundant and even though it seemed crowded at first all of that faded away as soon as you put your face in the water.
The boat ride to and from the reef was pleasant and the crew shared some local lore that was entertaining along the way.
Great sail with a great crew

The crew is fantastic, the sights are beautiful and they give you some history along the way. If you haven't been snorkeling they give you lots of helpful tips and have lots of flotation de ices if you aren't a strong swimmer.
The food is just ok.
So the crew gets 5 stars, the food is a 3, hence my 4 star review.
A variety of ways to see fish

Overall this was a remarkable trip! The crew was very friendly, captain was informative and funny, and the snorkel spot can’t be beat! We did choose to do the optional (up charge) SNUBA, and it was worth it!!! Although there was plenty to see just with snorkeling as well. Meals were good and we even got to see flying fish!! Go, you won’t regret this one!!!!

Everything I wanted in a first time experience!

Great first time experience. Very professional, enjoyed the couple of stops to see some historical sites and the crew did a great job educating about the sea life and safety. Lots of help with equipment and a crew member was assigned to each side of the ship as lifeguards. Money well spent!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
