    The crew here consistently gets praise for being friendly, fun, and safety-conscious, with guests calling out names like Captain Jack, Shaun, Johnny, and Lauren for making the trips memorable. People love the boat itself, describing it as beautiful and well-maintained, and the vibe is reliably chill with good music playing throughout. Most trips successfully spot sea turtles during snorkeling, and some lucky groups even catch dolphins swimming alongside the boat. The snorkeling experience seems solid overall, with the crew helping guests feel comfortable with equipment and finding good spots to see turtles and fish. One reviewer noted a more crowded snorkeling scene with several boats around one turtle and murky water, and felt the sailing portion fell short of expectations with only one sail deployed instead of the full setup. That said, this appears to be an isolated experience among otherwise glowing reviews. The sunset trips get special mentions for being peaceful and beautiful, making them a great way to wind down an evening in Hawaii.

    The BEST time!! The crew is absolutely amazing!! My four year old daughter couldn't quite figure out the snorkeling part so she got to ride around with Jack and Jake and she hasn't stopped talking about it. (It's been a week since we've been and its still a daily topic.) It was her absolute favorite part of the trip! It was my sons first snorkeling experience and he also had a great time! Definitely recommend you go with Three Tiki Sailing!!
