A morning snorkel cruise from Waikiki with spinner dolphins, turtles, and beachy onboard fun, plus lunch and hotel pickup.

“This was a really fun experience. Our photographer Tyler was took amazing pictures. They sell you the package on the bus, and it is worth it for the in water shots and the stuff on the boat. They will also offer to sell you a $20 sunscreen, not sure if that is worth it or not, I didn't buy it. We were lucky we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles on the day of our trip. Dani was the captain of our boat and she really was "the best captain in the world". That slide is super fun and super fast. 10/10 experience.”

I had to go upstairs on the boat as there was quite a few people being sick and due to a large number of non-English speaker on the boat felt a bit excluded (the company was good as their was an interpretar on board). The crew were really on it in more ways than one!”
