It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

Rob and Mark went the extra mile to ensure that we got the experience of a lifetime. They were knowledgeable about the area and suggested other activities that we enjoyed. We would do this activity again and again and highly recommend others to do the same. We saw dolphins in their natural environment, turtles, and at least a million fish up close and personal. This is a must do adventure!!!!

This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and the first time going out with Captain Bob. It was a well organized function with a superb crew! Having the first stop to the sandbar for volleyball was an excellent way for newbies to get used to snorkeling. It also allowed people to get acclimated to the water before getting into the snorkeling around the reef. Their choice in reef was nothing short of excellent! There was a large variety of fish to view to include several Moray Eels that swam about. The location also allowed a beautiful view of the Main Island and isolated islands off the coast. The only complaint is there was a young crew member who needed to pull up his bathing suit a little bit. He was a very nice young man & friendly with everyone but a bit more modesty would have been appreciated.
Overall, the event was great; everyone had an enjoyable time, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu.

Had an absolute BLAST!! The crew was great and very entertaining. They were really helpful to first time snorkelers and were very welcoming. We truly enjoyed every moment (except for the brief heavy rain).
Since we were not staying in Waikiki, we drove ourselves and had a little trouble finding the place, but called and got more detailed directions and still made it in plenty of time.

This was probably my favorite thing I did in Hawaii. I was scared at first and made them bring me up, but I tried again and had to close my eyes as I was being lowered in the water. It was awesome once you got under water and could see all the fish. We got to feed them bread. We even saw a huge sea turtle while we were under there. It was the most unique thing I had ever done and would love to do it again. It's definitely something everyone should try and do while they're there.

It was a beautiful morning in Hawaii. We saw dolphins as soon as we were out in the open water. Captain Mark and his crews were wonderful. They really wanted us to have a good time! I have great shots of dolphins playing and swimming in the ocean. The snorkeling was great. The water was warm and clear. We saw turtles and plenty of fish. As an added bonus, I saw dolphins underwater while snorkeling. This is an activity you will surely enjoy. I would come back for more!

this is THE highlight of our hawaiian vacation. i've been to O'ahu once, but never been to the west side. the views were awesome.
we were very lucky to see a pod of spinner dolpins within 30min of our departure. i can still remember the sound of dolphins in the water! that's something you will never forget. this tour lived up to its expectations and more. on the 2nd snorkel spot, we swam with three sea turtles! it's the underwater heaven there.
you MUST do this when you are in hawaii. unforgetable!

Of all the activities we did while in Hawaii, this was by far the best. The staff was very courteous and did everything the possibly could to make sure you had a good time. The ages of our kids were 13-19 and they were a great age to be able to enjoy the beauty of the underwater. I would recommend this to everyone that is old enough to take and follow the directions of the staff.

This is a Spectacular Outdoor Water Adventure for ANYONE who loves nature and God's Ocean Creations! Although we were the only English Speaking Tourist who booked the trip, the Captain was kind enough to explain what the tour guide was talking about to all the Japanese Tourist Guests and our First Mate was really fun!!! The only disappointment I am really not pleased about is the "photo's" that were sold to us and MIS-Represented as they were going to be FROM OUR TRIP were NOT ANY PICTURES OF US TAKEN UNDERWATER or on the BOAT. I paid $70.00 for 2 CD's (no pictures were provided you have to pay again to get them developed from CD) and then NOT ONE of them had US underwater. Would really LIKE TO GET OUR PICTURES and not ones from Someone elses paid tourism package from the past! This was kinda deceitful on the photographers part, and I hope she sees that anyone who thinks there getting THERE OWN PERSONAL PICTURES ONLY TO SEE STRANGERS IN PICTURES AND PAST ADVENTURES WAS NOT COOL AT!!!

Staff was very pleasant and eager to please the customer. The included snacks for breakfast and lunch of choice just topped the trip off perfect. Saw a school of about 18 spinner dolphins jumping out of the water within a couple feet of boat and while in the water had them swim directly below me (about ten feet from myself). Snorkeled in 3 separate spots after the snorkel with the dolphins. More bang for your buck than other tours ... well worth it!!!

My husband and I had a wonderful excursion! We saw a pod of over 100 dolphin, and the staff made 3 "drop" passes to be sure that everyone got to see the dolphins in the water. The area with the turtles was great, even got to see a ray, and the area where the fish are is AMAZING! We literally swam with hundreds and hundreds of fish all around us. The crew was fantastic, the excursion met and exceeded our expectations.

We have done this trip 3 times and I would NOT go with anyone else! They guys are great - they make it fun ... the food is good but the snorkling is great! Even in bad weather the guys made it fun - it was a downpour to say the least and honestly they couldnt have cared less - basic opinion was: its warm, your in Hawaii, your gonna get wet anyway so lets do it drudda! Killer time. Went twice with the family including our 6yoa son who was 4yoa at the time and once with some friends and each time it was the same killer service and fun! Dont go any place else... im coming back in Sept 2008 and you knowwwww I will be making another trip...ummm do get I discount yet or what guys??? :)

We had such a great time! The staff was amazing. The captain was so funny & his staff really made you feel welcome and prepared. I was especially impressed that one of his staff members was multi-lingual and was able to explain what we were doing in both English & Japanese. It was so cool to see the dolphins jumping around the boat and just amzing to actually be floating above several doplphins in the open ocean.
The snorkleing was amazing too. I have never seen so many different types of fish & we even got to hang out & watch a huge turtle. At the end they give you a good deli style lunch and show off the slide show, which is for purchase,from the outing. This was an amazing excursion. I would recommend it to anyone going to HI, but I would suggest that people pratcice snorkleing before they go. The open ocean in choppy water is really no place for a 1st time snorkler. Other than that I would say this is an activity you should not miss!

Such a great activity. The scenery is beautiful and it's so neat to see the dolphins up close and personal. People kept swimming towards them when the crew kept telling them not to so we didn't get as close as I would have liked, but I still got to see them swim under me once. The snorkeling is neat too. I would reccommend this activity to anyone. Make sure to wear lots of sunblock though because I got burnt to a crisp. The crew was great and the lunch was sooo good!

Since I am not a scuba diver and the most snorkeling I have done was in my pool I would have to say this was a great experience. I took my three children ages 17,16, and 13. They had a wonderful time. The staff was nice. Having the fish each out of our hands was awesome. We even saw a huge turtle. Either before or after you go in the BOB you can snorkel around the boat. This was cool too. I wish I could have taken my underwater camera but they take great pictures with their camera for you. Of course there is charge to get a disc of the photos. The one down side is when we got home we were given the wrong photos. So be sure to ask them to double check before you leave. They are sending me the right one in the mail. Still overall this is a great experience for those who can't scuba dive yet.

We had an absolutely gorgeous clear day. The ocean floor was visible to more than 30 feet. We were entertained by dolphins, monitored by turtles, and even visited by some whales! I'm sure we were very lucky, but it sure seemed like it was all arranged just for us. The views of Oahu were breathtaking, and though my wife and UII did not snorkle we enjoyed the stories from the knowledgeable staff. Patrick makes bodacious Mai Tais!!
