One of the girls was learning on our charter last night, and the older team member was patiently explaining how to do things but nothing was held up. Beautiful views. Strong drinks with name brand liquors. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of seating and the boat was NOT PACKED. This was not one of those party boats with 100 people crammed onto hard plastic benches. Cushions, cool chairs above the nets. GREAT MUSIC. Would *highly* recommend. If you don't just go with the cheapest option, pick this place.

It was quite confusing to find the meetup point at the beginning, but asking the hotel staff did help us getting there. We went on the high-tide day so needed to walk a bit from the usual boarding area. Probably helpful to remind people wearing slippers as you'd need to take shoes off. They did provide proper and plenty storage spaces for your footwear on the boat (appreciated!). Drinks were pretty much bottomless and they had their very own Mai Tai so you could really enjoy the 'complete Hawaiian package'! The only problem with high tide day, it meant be prepped to get wet and going on and off the boat would be quite tricky as you needed to manage timing to avoid the tide from getting you soaking wet. I was unfortunately not the pro and literally got half-bottom wet, getting off the boat LOL. Paid off by the gorgeous sunset view!!

Tom was such a great cook! So cool to be able to bbq on the water. Savanah and Bella set out all of our food and things we brought to feast. Loved that they captured special moments and took pictures. Sometimes you're having so much fun that you forget to capture the moments. Also appreciated that I could play my music on the boat. We went snorkeling and sailed for 4 hours! Seems like a long time but it felt more like 1 hour. Time flies while you're having fun! We saw lots of fish and my favorite!... Honu!

But this crew made me feel so comfortable, safe, and excited to get in that water! And BABYYYY... once I got in?! I was a whole ass underwater Natty-Geo correspondent. I saw a needlefish, a little "chub" fish, AND a fish that looked just like DORY!!! I was swimming around like, "OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THAT!" every five seconds. LOL. Dez, Julia, Tommy, and Captain Carlos were honestly the dream team. Fun, welcoming, patient, gorgeous and just genuinely good vibes from beginning to end. They made my first snorkeling experience feel like a little Waikiki adventure I'll be talking about for a LONG time. And before anybody comes for my pictures... I PROMISE I HAVE BETTER PHOTOS!!! They're just living their best life on the GoPro right now. Hehe. Captain Carlos, Dez, Julia, and Tommy -- THANK YOU for making my first snorkeling experience so memorable. I hope I get lucky enough to have another adventure with y'all before I leave the island!

They pick you up on the beach and provide all the equipment you need. We went out to the area where turtles are and there were about four other boats out there. The one bummer is that everyone is grouped up and there is a lot of bumping each other. I saw several turtles and many fish. The views of the shore were spectacular. The crew was awesome. Very low key but explained what you can and cannot do. Showed you how to use the equipment and kept an eye on you when you were in the water. A must do trip if you are in Honolulu/Waikiki.
