My husband and I have been on quite a few snorkel excursions in our 25yrs of marriage but Chase and his crew gave us the best trip we have ever been on! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable telling us about the area and the marine life we saw while snorkeling. chase took us to 5 snorkel locations starting with Molikini Crater front and back and ending at a location with lots of turtles. Every spot was great, and the ride on the red boat zipping through the water was almost as much fun as the snorkeling. Breakfast and lunch was also served but it did not take away from our time in the water. This trip is a must and we will do it all over again when we come back!! I can’t imagine any snorkel trip better then this one!

We went on a snorkel trip out to the volcano crater island and to various spots on the south shore. We saw turtles! Our crew was fantastic and very informative. Our group had a great time. They were very good about following the COVID mask rules. I will definitely go out with them again
