This was a fantastic experience and very unique. Never expected the manta rays to come soo close. Hope my pics come out. Will definitely do again when I come back to the Big Island. Highly recommend for everyone, was a very easy snorkel and NOT scary at all.

I was a little nervous about taking a guided tour for snorkeling. However, my expectations were more than met. Captain Mark and First Mate Steve were incredible. They were the best. My wife and I had were in shock at how much fun we had. And just how amazing the crew were and all the amazing things they made sure we were able to experience. Thanks again.

Having a guide was really nice since this was my first time ever snorkeling. Alan taught us the basics and provided us with equipment needed. It was great seeing all the colorful fish. One downfall (which wasn't anyone's fault) was that the water was really rough the day we went, so the experience was cut short since we couldn't go out as far as planned.
Would recommend to first-time snorkelers!

We got to see dolphins from the boat and in the water as well! The snorkel spots were absolutely beautiful and you get to see so many different varities of marine life! The turtle cleaning station was probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen. There were literally 20 turtles resting all around and we got to take TONS of pictures!

I have to give props to the crew and the captain for making this the most enjoyable time i have ever had. Everyone on the crew was friendly, helpfull, curtious and just plain nice to be around. Was expecting a little more on the snuba dives, but i went in thinking discovery channel quailty. But the dive was still fun non the less. We got to see sharks, turtles, sea slugs, eels and much more exotic fish. And i was this close to a turtle! I would recommend this activity with auqa adventures any time for many reasons. The first being a great crew and second it was a smaller boat and not the big tourists one that can get anonying with all the screaming kids. When we take another vacation back to maui we are definatly doing this again!

This was our first experience snorkeling and my wife cannot swim. Our instructor, Alan, helped my wife overcome her fears and we were both able to enjoy the bay. Alan took great care to guide us and make us feel comfortable. We immediately observed a multitude of fish and coral reef creatures in some of the clearest water we encountered on Oahu. We fell in love with snorkeling and will definitely do it again. We would definitely recommend this adventure to everyone.

I could not have been happier about this snuba experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming and genuinely kind that it made us newlyweds feel right at home. The boat was the perfect size with plenty of room for everyone. I could go on and on about the captain, crew, boat, sites, atmosphere, fish, and TURTLES... but this truly was an amazing experience that we will pass on to our family and friends as a must do when visiting Maui.

Lots of fun for everyone. The crew is top-notch and very friendly. The day provides a perfect amount of water time and the lunch was grilled and ready when we got back on the boat. My friends and I decided last minute to go on this tour and it was a last minute decision that was great! If you want to get out of Waikiki for the day (and trust me, you SHOULD!) this is the tour!

This was a really great trip and better snorkeling than Hanauma Bay. The second reef we went to had lots and lots of fish and we didn't have a million people surrounding us. Getting out of Waikiki was a great idea and the water is just beautiful! The sandbar was really fun and I got my butt whooped at water volleyball! A big round of applause the fantastic crew! Thank you and I cannot wait to come again!

BOB stands for Breathing Observation Bubble. Whoever invented this is such a genius. I really enjoy it because it gave me an underwater experience even though I don't really know how to swim and I don't even need to get my head wet. It's completely safe when you follow all the instruction correctly. It caused a bit of discomfort of pressure in the ears at first when it was decending. However, after you depressurized it, it's all good. This is an incredibly fun activity.

The guide and his first mates were top notch. It was nice to experience snorkling around the reef with just a few dozen people, especially since it was our first time. Would recommend this to anyone who plans to visit Oahu! Was a great way to spend one of our days on the island. Great value too.

This was by far the best snorkeling trip my husband and I have ever gone on, partly because of luck, but also because of the knowledgeable crew. When we got on the boat we were informed that we could go to a reef and snorkel or we could swim with dolphins. Apparently the crew was informed that there were an unusual number of dolphins in a small area that day. Everyone agreed on dolphins. We swam with so many dolphins - it was useless to even try to count them. The crew was fun and laid back which made it an even more pleasant experience. Will definately go again if given the opportunity!

My family and I had a wonderful time with the Bob's boat and would recommend this tour to anyone coming to the island of Honolulu. Everyone had a good time since there was something for everyone to do. My grandmother just wanted to chill on the boat, and she did, my mom would wade in teh shallow water and then work on her tan, and my brothers went crazy chasing each other down the sand bar. Me? I had a blast snorkeling at the reef and hope to go back soon!

There are so many snorkeling cruises to choose from, but I am very glad that I chose Captain Bob! It was a breath of fresh air to get out of Waikiki and the beaches and the sky were absolutely breathtaking. The food was grilled fresh and the crew were made sure that all guests were attended too. Really, I just cannot say enough good things about this tour and have been recommending it to all my friends! Now they just need to get to Hawaii lol. Good job!

We all had a great time and I cannot say enough on how wonderful all the crew members are! They were all very attentive and helpful as well. My sister had never been snorkeling before and they had her swimming around and looking at fish in in no time. The area is also beautiful too and how cool was it to hang out on the sand bar in the middle of the bay?! Great time!

Great experience. Friendly staff, great for people who like to spend the day exploring and relaxing outdoors. Kailua & Lanikai are great for relaxing on the beach, snorkelling & kayaking and isn't overly crowded. After spending the day at the beach, come back and get sweets & shave ice at the next door eateries and enjoy the ride back to Waikiki.

This was an amazing experience to witness. You are probably five minutes off the shore by the sheraton resort and are left to swim with huge manta rays that swim right up next to you. It is a little scary at first but after the first few minutes you get used to it. The staff on the boat are very friendly and pretty humorous. You definitly get your moneys worth on this activity because you are in the water for about 45 minutes and they dont let you get in until a manta ray shows up so your time with the manta rays isnt wasted. The only bad things I have to say about this activity which was kind of a personal problem was that I got stung in the butt my something. It hurt pretty bad but the stinging went away in about a hour. I dont think anyone else had this problem though so I wouldnt be too worried about it. I would definitly sign up for this activity is I was you!

The snorkeling on this trip was excellent. We were very close to the dolphins and the sea turtles. The staff were great as was the hospitality, equipment and food. The only down side was the transport. On the way we stopped of at pearl harbor to drop of a couple going there which seemed a bit out of the way. Again on the way back we stopped at pearl harbor to pickup a different couple and took a very odd route through Waikiki to pick up and drop off people who were not on the activity. a stressful end to an excellent day snorkeling.
