Funnest snorkel trip ever

What an amazing fun day. The crew were friendly and took us to 2 awesome snorkeling spots. They also shared the history and facts about where we were. Captain Ed, Joshua and please forgive me, I can’t remember the woman’s name. A local and it started with K. She was so nice and helpful. I recommend 100%

Really nice day on the Sea Paradise Catamaran

An absolutely awesome snorkel/catamaran trip. The crew was amazing (Captain Jon and Crew Beau, Taylor, Austin, and I unfortunately forgot the name of the fourth one, a pleasant young lady). Along the way and back they take turns giving you the Hawaiian history of the sacred locations along the shore and what occurred there hundreds of years ago amongst the native Hawaiians and with Captain Cook. The two snorkel spots were teeming with fish. The crew were steady (but not overwhelming) in offering snacks and drinks, and turning on the showers for you after coming in from snorkeling. Captain Jon was either good (or lucky, LOL) in finding pods of spinner dolphins for us to watch. Lunch during the ride back was also pleasant. A nice sandwich bar. The staff assisted me in making a Hawaiian tuna wrap!
