Eric and Justin were great and did everything they could to make our experience memorable. A special thanks for making it possible to see the dolphins. They are an awesome crew.

The area they took us to was good, saw lots of cool fish. But one of the guys wasn't as attentive or friendly, that's why only 3 stars.

This was more like race boat and snorkel. Unsafe driving of the boat at high speeds without warning. No life jackets offered. They even had a woman who didn’t know how to swim using noodles to keep afloat. Cocky attitude by captain showing off how close to the rocks he could get going at high speeds to scare us.

Eric was attentive and made sure we were all safe. My wife had some problems with the gear and getting in and out of the boat. He was very helpful with this and keeping track of where we were.

We went out with captain Eric. He was very fun and knowledgeable about the area. The tour was about two hours which is perfect length for us. He took us snorkeling, then went to several site seeing place. We really enjoy the tour. We did the long one with bigger boat few years ago, I had terrible seasick. With Eric’s jet boat, it was not an issue. Highly recommend this trip.

The ride out was really exciting on the navy seal boat at 35 mph. If you want smooth sailing with drink in hand, this is not for you! We dodged some rocks and then came to the snorkling place. The surface was teeming with dolphins and below were thousands of incredible beautiful and diverse fish. We had plenty of time to circle the loop twice to catch a view of anything we may have missed. On the way back we got a chance to cliff dive: a perfect conclusion to a great 2 & 1/2 hour trip. Eric and his captain were engaging, whitty and gave a lot of history from the region. Anything less would have been boring and Captain Cook Adventures presented an encredibly eventful excursion. The pineapple was great too.

This was incredible! So exhilarating!! The navy raft made all the difference for the thrill! Guides were awesome and fun!

Justin and Eric are great. The speed boat was tons of fun, definitely better than one of those bigger boats. It’s more intimate

Great trip very exciting and fun it was a fast boat to a bay where captain cook was, lots of great ocean Fish watching and sea scapes

Ryan_B

Would give 5 stars, but it’s advertised as a 4 hour excursion but it’s really only 2 hours. They have people waiting at the docks for the next tour so it wasn’t cut short they just book this excursion for only 2 hours. Captain Ryan was excellent. Our kids had a blast. Small boat so it’s not packed with too many people. It would have been nice to know it was such a short trip.
