Great and organize tour - We had the best experience with this tour. They are very organize from registration, picking up your gear and meeting up with the tour guide. We had plenty of time to snorkel Capt. Cook’s monument. It is a beautiful coral reef spot on the island. We went in May and it wasn’t very crowded.

Great snorkeling at Captain Cook Bay - I love the information about the coast and the Island on the way back. The snorkeling was very good with lots of different fish to see. They made sure that we were safe. The snacks were hard to get to from the front of the boat and couldn't even get to the fruit, so we didn't get any. It would have been nice to have some. They also need a sign at the marina for the meeting point. We looked all over, but there is no sign. They said to meet at the building with the green roof, which was the actual restrooms. That would have been nice to know.

Neat experience, especially the boat ride back! - The snorkeling was fun, but our favorite part was the boat ride back where we made several stops to see amazing sites and learn a little history.

Magic sea life - The most memorable is that we saw a shark on the sea floor and dolphins around the boat. The hosts were very spirited and offered us a nice local fruit arrangement and snacks during the ride.
