Very happy with this snorkel ! Amount of time in the water was perfect and we did have great conditions, family of 4 , kids 15 and 13, we had a great time. The small group size is key. Christian our guide did amazing, very knowledgeable friendly and watched our for everyone. He carried a long a board type thing for us to hold on to if we need a break. We saw a ton of fish, turtle’s cucumbers. I will say you should be a decent swimmer. If your not not ok in the water I would pick something else, as much of the snorkeling is over 10 feet. I was really happy with this and so glad we booked it, they run a well oiled machine. Loved the No boat option:)
Swimming with turtles is unforgetable

Swimming with turtles was an incredible experience!! We had 2 swimming very close to us; just gorgeous. Our group leader, a young girl(Megan I think) was not clear about how to procede to get in the water. I’m a senior, not a good swimmer and it seemed to me that she felt I was a burden. I fell in the way out and she did help me but there was not a ‘I’m sorry or what happened to you’. On another line…. Not for children. The sea was very rough and pulls you out of the group
In the blink of an eye.
Great, but….

Our family of 6 had a wonderful experience! We saw a ton of fish, and 4 turtles. The equipment was in excellent condition diction as well. The only reason I knocked off a star was because our guide could have done better. She seemed like she was going through the motions, and not engaged with us. At the end, she opened the cooler with drinks and there was no ice, so they were not cold. She also flipped open the snack box and said here you go. There was no discussion about what we saw, or if we had any questions. I think a guide makes a big difference with every experience, this one just fell flat.
Disappointed and set the tone for the rest of the vacation

Our tour started with a very rocky and choppy ocean entry point. We did see beautiful underwater landscapes, variety of amazing fish, and even a sea turtle. This lasted about 10 minutes. What the whole tour experienced next was utter chaos, the whole group was swept up coast with no way getting back. Luckily a surfer who witnessed the group get sucked out called 911 and paddled on his board to assist. After 15 minutes of paddling nowhere jet ski came to the rescue and broad us back where we had to climb up a slippery and rock shore while getting slapped around by the waves. My whole family was reunited with multiple cuts and bruises on our feet. Luckily there was a longs Drugs not far away which we bought supplies and administered first aid to ourselves in the parking lot. We did receive a full refund but have not spoken to anyone as of yet. After talking to locals and other vacationers during our trip everyone seemed to know that that day did not have optimal snorkeling conditions.
Loved our First Time Snorkeling!

Had a frightening experience snorkeling this past week. Two stars vs 1 because we were able to get a refund.
We understand that it's hard to deal with mother nature, but reflecting we should never have gone out snorkeling in the first place. After snorkeling briefly, the group of 6 of us were guided and went a little away from the shore. We were in life jackets and there was a paddle to rest on, but at some point we became stuck past a set of waves and couldn't get back to land. We tried to kick to get back but we were not moving at all amidst pretty windy waves.
Fortunately someone saw and called 911 for rescue where jet skis came in to get us back. Thankfully it was also low tide at the time or it could have been worse.
While the guides were nice, next time hopefully the guides used can have proper training to deal with or avoid the situation without requiring rescue. Apparently we were told afterward that it was a high risk warning given the windy weather. We didn't expect to go through that scare in our vacation in Hawaii.

Christina was super kind and helpful to us older people. she was patient with all our questions and very assisting to get in the water. Getting out was quite challenging but there were kind people on the shore to help. So exciting to see many beautiful fish and even a sea turtle come out from his hiding place to go up to get some air and then back again.

This was MAGICAL! We are from MN with no snorkeling experience and Mallory taught us very easily, we were off and snorkeling before we knew it! We saw the most stunning and beautiful fish I could ever imagine and I got to almost touch a Sea Turtle!!!! This was epic and I am so incredibly thankful to Z Tours!! Bucket list experience ♥️
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
