Dads, Moms and Kids spend half the tour fishing and trying for Marlin or some of our native game fish such as Ono or Mahi Mahi. The rest of the day is up to you based on what's happening in the waters off shore. If whales are in the area, we can take you to see them. If Spinner Dolphins are nearby, we can take you to see them as well.

With over 100 diverse and secured day mooring sites to choose from, your snorkel adventure may never end! Our Captain and his Crews's extensive years of experience in these local waters pays dividends to OUR snorkel participants. We hold many surprises in store for you!
