Wear your swimsuit and have a change a clothes. You get soaked on this tour which added to the fun! Seeing the sharks was beyond memorable! Will be doing this tour every time we come back to the island! MAHALO!!

It was absolutely amazing! Even though it rained, we saw so many sharks, dolphins, and whales! The crew was nice and very informative. My boys said it is their favorite part of our trip! If we come back, we would do it again. It was well worth the money!
