Overview

If you are new to or have never snorkeled before this is the ideal choice! Particularly good for families with younger children or swimmers who aren’t certain if they are “seaworthy” enough for one of our longer trips. This trip is much slower-paced and affords guests time to become more familiar and comfortable with the exciting and beautiful sport of snorkeling. Our crew will be happy to help you adjust your mask, fins, and snorkel and help you become comfortable viewing the tropical fish while using a flotation assistance device we call a “noodle”. You'll even watch for dolphins and whales along the way! We offer several different times slots to fit your schedule. The times shown indicate the check in time. Tour duration includes time to checkin and receive gear. Snorkel participants must be confortable swimming. Looking for more snorkel time? We also offer a Deluxe Snorkel Tour that includes snorkeling at two different reefs. Check out our other listings for more details.

Wonderful Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Snorkeling was great and Rob was an excellent captain and tour guide. I loved learning more about the places we visited ( Captain Cook and Place of Refuge). Seeing whales and flying fish made a great experience even better.

Awesome snorkeling with a whale to boot

Published on Jan, 2025

Great time snorkeling and we saw a whale on the way to Captain Cooks monument for snorkeling. Great crew and we only had a total of 6 for our tour so very intimate. Great facts shared on the tour and the snorkeling was awesome! We stopped on a few places on the way back and we would highly recommend this tour

The deluxe package is worth the extra money. Both snorkel sites are worth seeing, and the tour of other side was an excellent bonus.

Our captain was great! He...

Our captain was great! He even stopped so we can see the dolphins on our way to the Captain cook monument where we snorkel.

Tremendously magical

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was absolutely incredible in every way. From start to finish you are made comfortable by the guidance of both Captain and first mate. We had Captain Dennis and first mate Agnes. Captain Dennis had a great sense of humor and was very informative of the island and sea life. Agnes was very efficient with assisting the captain and other families on the boat. They provided snacks, water, juice, and fresh pineapple that was cut like a pro! The boat and gear were clean and in excellent condition. This trip allows you to get off the beautiful island and see it from a totally different view and allows you to experience the magical landscape of the sea floor. Total worth it!
