Review of Key West’s 3-hour afternoon snorkel sail, with reef swimming, crew tips, open bar after snorkeling, pricing, and practical advice.
“Actual snorkeling was cool but mediocre experience because the boat operators and instructors were jerks (unfortunately, especially to foreigners). They could have been a lot more patient and kind, especially with those who needed extra help or were timid. Will look for a different company next time.”

Review the Ko Olina catamaran sail and snorkel tour, with lunch, drinks, wildlife, practical tips, price advice, and booking details.
“Wonderful activity. Captain and crew were super warm and welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. We had all ages on the boat and everyone seemed to have a great time. We did this same excursion 3 years ago and we all agreed it was worth a repeat.”
Review of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast snorkel and sail tour, with meals, wildlife, practical tips, pricing, safety details, and honest drawbacks.
“The Na Pali Coast was absolutely beautiful to see. Unfortunately, the boat’s engine had issues, which cut into our scheduled tour time and led to the snorkeling portion being canceled. They did give us a partial refund, which was appreciated. The crew was friendly, and one crew member in particular made the trip more engaging by sharing interesting details about what we were seeing. However, the ride back was rough, and no one warned us about the large waves. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there were definitely some areas for improvement.”
Review of Key West’s 3-hour reef snorkel and sail aboard a 54-foot yacht, with small groups, drinks, gear, and practical booking advice.
“I would NOT recommend this place at all, flew down to enjoy a birthday getaway from out of state was very much looking forward to getting some sun time and exploring the reefs we get a call 1 hour before our reef departure and was told because we only have a small amount of people we are canceling your trip. Was unable to find anything else same day TOTALLY ruined the trip run away from this place as fast as you can. The person on the phone also had a very bad attitude problem and should not be handling these situations what’s so ever. Don’t risk the same experience happening…”

Review of Maui’s Molokini and Turtles luxury yacht snorkel, with food, drinks, comfort, weather limits, and practical booking advice.
“Unfortunately there was no experience due to weather. While we understand weather is unpredictable and often changes we were extremely disappointed when we were notified 10 minutes before we were supposed to leave that it was cancelled. We were literally parking on the pier when they cancelled the excursion. Then in order to get it refunded we had to wait for business hours and call the office. It doesn't make sense that if they cancel the refund isn't automatic.”
