We went three times in one week 'cause it's so much fun and the crew is absolutely awesome. Our captain Jenna always tried her best to show us as many different species as possible and our guide Ashley enlightened us about the animals and kept everyone safe in the water. We saw a pod of spotted dolphins and were able to get in the water with them. They even had babies. It was just fascinating. We also saw spinner dolphins, a monk seal, an eagle ray, turtles and lots of fish. Each day on the water is different and you never know what beautiful things you'll see. We're definately coming back in winter! Ps: the sandwiches you get were delicious too :)

It was a great deal of fun. We were picked up on time. She was very sweet and pleasant to be driving with. The captain and the other young lady on the boat were both very informative very aware of who is on the boat and kept their conversation to include all of us. The sandwiches that were provided were also very good and everything was kept very dry would definitely recommend this excursion for anyone who is going to Oahu.
