A wonderful family activity that’s great for those that are too young to actually snorkel. Our little guy loved being on the boat with snacks and drinks and was happy to just swim along beside me while I snorkeled.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Aloha Gina and mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy you and your little guy enjoyed your experience aboard HokuNui.
We hope you can join us again for more ocean adventures and one day take your little one to snorkel with us when he's ready :)

Great 3 hour tour - snorkel and sail was amazing!
Stephr
, Jun 2022
This three hour tour exceeded our expectations. We were greeted and welcomed on board after leaving our shoes at the dock for our 'Below Desk' experience. The catamaran was clean and modern. The deck staff provided beverages, fruit and snacks along with ginger chews (good for motion sickness) while we toured out to the monument. Along the way, they gave us history on the the island and Captain Cook. Once we arrived, they handed our snorkel gear and gave us newbies an overview on how to snorkel., The water was crystal clear and amazing to snorkel in. After snorkeling, the bar was open (credit card only) for the cruise back. I highly recommend this tour!
Go ahead book it👍🏼

The crew, the captain and the boat were top notch! It was a wonderful experience and catered to the most seasoned snorkelers and the novices! The chant that was done by one of the crew as we entered the bay was such a wonderful representation of the Hawaiian people and their culture. Really made you understand the reverence for the land and sea. Highly recommend it!!!
I love the whole tour , best value for the buck!

We had a wonderful time snorkeling with this crew. The boat was new, clean, and bathrooms were nice. The crew was incredibly helpful in teaching and encouraging our inexperienced snorkelers. The captain answered all of our questions, and we had two small kids with A LOT of questions. The captain was so kind to the young ones in our group and let them pull on the sail rope. We even saw two manta rays on the way back! Overall we all had a great time and would recommend this great snorkeling experience.
Response from Host , May 2022
Aloha Luke,
Thank you for taking time writing us a wonderful feedback. Glad to hear the your young ones enjoyed the tour, they can really be curious of so many things which made them more cute. I guessed the 2 giant Mantas would love to say hi to our 2 cute young ones. We are happy over all you enjoyed the tour, till we see you again on your next sea adventure.
Mahalo!
An experience to not miss!

The crew was extremely professional and kind. They had a deep knowledge of the history, the wildlife and the culture of our snorkeling location. We had a member of our group that was a first time snorkeler, and Roe game him a pep talk that allowed him to enjoy his time. And the drinkz was bomb!
Sail and Snorkeling.

Great sailing to the cove. Snorkeling was disappointing though. No colorful fish or coral. Crew was great.
