This was such an incredible trip and I couldn’t recommend it more. We saw dolphins, some octopi, a million turtles and even a (small, docile!) shark - I felt totally safe as a new snorkeler and as someone who is terrified of deep open water. The crew gave clear snorkeling instructions and were in the water on surfboards in case anyone needed anything. I don’t understand how anyone could have anything bad to say about this trip - ignore the bad reviews. The crew, wildlife and overall experience were amazing.

We were told the weather was not suited for snorkeling off of Lanai which is the only reason we booked this particular excursion. We were rebooked for Monday. If we are not able to snorkel off of Lanai again can we cancel for a full refund?
