January 4, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

Kapolei, named for the volcanic cone Pu'u o Kapolei (loosely meaning "hill of beloved Kapo"), is locally known as Oahu's "second city" after Honolulu. Built on former sugarcane and pineapple plantations, Kapolei is an affluent and vibrant city that is growing rapidly. It has an ever-changing urban scene as well as the Ko Olina resort and marina community and the Disney Aulani Resort. Sportsmen can play a round of golf at the Ko Olina Golf Club before a sophisticated evening on the town.

This is by far the best catamaran snorkel tour we have ever taken, and we have been on many round the world. First, the yacht was amazing, beautiful and extremely clean with all the amenities. Next, the crew was first class and a lot of fun. They tended to our every need. We will do this again soon! Thanks captain Austin!

We travel along Oahu’s west coast and slip into the water to discover the vast variety of coastal marine life unique to the Hawaiian Islands. Included with the Snorkel Adventure is use of our underwater scooters or propulsion devices and a 17 foot long floating "magic carpet" mat, perfect for the kids to run and play on, or simply lay out in Hawaii’s perfect sun. Typically we get to see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Turtles, and during whale season we often see Humpback Whales rearing their young. This charter caters from those with no swimming skills all the way to Aqua Man himself. We’ll anchor and explore some of the local secret reefs, scattered with a dazzling display of tropical fish, eagle rays, manta rays and turtle cleaning stations. All snorkel equipment is included in the price. Total boat time is 3 hours. Take your experience to one you will never forget and add the Navy SEAL Helicopter Jump for an additional fee per person.

My wife and I have enjoyed diving all around the world for many years. We’ve been to Honduras, Belize, The Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Florida keys, The Mediterranean, The Yucatán, Los Cabos, California, and all over Hawai’i. We have always chartered trips with professional dive operations and we have had wonderful experiences, but I have to say that our time with Trident Adventures was by far the best we’ve ever had. They went above and beyond anything we’ve ever experienced to show us a great time, give us unmatched service, and leave us with memories we will cherish for a lifetime. I was so impressed with their professional operation. It was wonderful to see how smoothly they all worked together. The crew’s respect for each other and their leader, Steve, was obvious. Steve’s excellent leadership as a former Navy Seal was incredible. Every member of the crew worked with passion and pride, striving for excellence to give us an unforgettably joyous experience. The service was unlike anything I’ve seen on a dive boat. They provided state of the art/ top of the line equipment, a variety of refreshing beverages, snacks, fresh fruit, fresh water showers, hot towels, jackets to warm us between dives and even argon oil for our hair after our dives. The water scooters they provided were a blast! They allowed us to see 10X more than I’ve ever seen on a 2 tank dive. We flew effortlessly through the magical underwater world. It was so much fun and it was a true adventure! We saw 3 shipwrecks, huge turtles, spinner dolphins, octopus, eagle rays, eels, beautiful coral, fun swim-throughs, and a wide variety of colorful fish. They split us up into small groups, each with our own leader, as to make the experience more individualized and not crowded. It was amazing! Steve, the owner of Trident Adventures, fought as a Navy Seal for our liberty and freedom. Because of him and other veterans like him, we are free to enjoy amazing experiences with our families and loved ones in this beautiful land. His business represents what’s great about America. Thank you for your service, Steve, and thank you for giving us one of the best vacation adventures we’ve ever had!

What a delightful evening we had with this company! We were on a sunset cruise with two other couples, and the experience was top-notch. The yacht is beautiful, the food and drink were so tasty, and the captain and co-captain were first class. They were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. This was our first sail with this company, but it won't be our last. We visit the Ko Olina area every year, and will be looking forward to another cruise next year.

This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.
