Highlights
We genuinely love our job and getting to share the ocean with visitors. We make sure our guests have fun while teaching them how to navigate the Pacific waters. The guides will point out various sea creatures, letting guests hold them if possible and giving various facts about what we see or things we are looking for! You will leave more knowledgeable and with a deeper understanding of the ocean and its inhabitants.

Snorkeling was AMAZING! Dawn was AMAZING! EVERYTHING was AMAZING! Dawn made sure we had a good briefing before entering the water so that everyone understood protocol, ocean currents and what wildlife to be looking for as well as how to interact with the sea creatures we saw. It was a bit cloudy that day but this tour still did not disappoint! We saw several turtles, a plethora of fish and even some eel. We snorkeled at two locations. There was no hike as the previous review mentions a morning hike so if you see that you should know that was for another tour she does to a beach. This tour is just for snorkeling at two different spots. The second location she let us pick if we wanted a harder, more adventurous swim with bigger fish and coral or an easier, shallow swim where we could hold starfish and see smaller fish. We chose holding starfish!
We wouldn't have known which areas to snorkel at nor would we have noticed all the little creatures she showed us had we tried to do this on our own. So much in the ocean just camouflages with its surroundings! Dawn certainly has the eye to find everything that's around you. At one point a turtle would have swam right passed me and I never would have even known because I was looking the other direction at a school of colorful fish!
She offers a video as well, which we got as a memory for our trip and I absolutely love it and have shared it with all my friends and family! Highly recommend this experience to enjoy and fall in love with the ocean even more!

The beach accessible is great, the water was clear, we saw 3 turtles and the fish were everywhere. I felt safe with Dawn as our guide. She is knowledgeable about the the sea life and the surrounding area.

Dawn is such a great host and tour guide! It was very easy to speak with her; she’s kind, funny, and thoughtful. We walked through the jungle for about an hour and made our way to a beautiful sand beach! There are not many sandy beaches here on this island, so this spot was such a gem!! We went during high tide and it was absolutely beautiful. We were able to see some sea turtles swimming in the water, it was an incredible experience to enjoy the ocean waves with these creatures
About This Deal
Itinerary
Have you dreamt of swimming with sea turtles? Snorkeling with various fish? Swimming in pacific waters as the vigorous ocean waves crash upon lava rocks not far away? Then this is the tour for you!
We will ocean hop to two different spots where we will swim with wildlife, snorkel, explore, float and enjoy Hawai'i and all her majestic beauty!
While wildlife is certainly on no strict schedule, we are sure to encounter various species throughout the tour. Our hope is always to see turtles, however since it’s wildlife and not a zoo I cannot guarantee anything. What I can guarantee, is that we WILL see beautiful coral, HUGE sea urchins, tons of colorful fish and sea cucumbers. Sometimes we see eel and unicorn fish too! It is a rare occasion that we do not see the Hawaiian honu (turtle), but either way I will teach you about the coral, reef fish, āina and share Hawaiian legends and turtle facts with you!
Please keep in mind, we must stay 10 feet from turtles by law at all times.
The currents can be quite strong which can make swimming harder. Terrain is also rough in some areas.
