    Amazing experience

    We booked a pontoon for the family and it couldn’t have gotten any better. They had snack and cold drinks. Our captain Yuka was unbelievable. She was perfect with our daughter and went above and beyond to make our trip A++. We definitely got the vip treatment and made amazing memories with our kids

    Wonderful experience with good people

    If you are in Ohau and want a top tier experience with friendly service I recommend Captain Bruce. Everyone here is super friendly and attentive. My family and I went out on a pontoon boat and had a wonderful experience. If this is your first time snorkeling I would book with Captain Bruce. I felt safe and also learned a great deal about the island. Big thank you to Kekoa! He’s an excellent guide. Thank you to Jamie and Bobby for being so nice. What an unforgettable time.

    Delightful and Active Sandbar Excurison

    What a blast! Naliko was an amazing captain/guide. It was a seamless excursion packed with activities. We snorkeled and saw turtles and ample colorful fish. We paddle boarded around the sandbar and had as active a morning as we wanted and still found time to chill on the boat. Teen kids loved it and it was a real highlight of our trip.

    Allen is the best

    A friend had recommended Captan Bruce to us and we had no idea what to expect. Our captain Allen was so thoughtful and made sure we were comfortable and happy. We had such a great time thanks to him!

    Wanted to rebook again

    Our captain was great. She really tried to take care of my family on our trip! The individual attention made the extra cost of a private boat worth it. Even though the weather wasn't the best it's the highlight of my trip. Snorkeling was cool and we saw many turtles in the boat ride. The shuttle was really convenient. I would rebook again during my trip if I had the time.
