We were picked up at our Ko'Olina resort and driven to the marina by staff from Hawaii Nautical. Wind was great that day so we did quite a bit of powered off sailing. The boat was clean and a perfect size for our group of 20 or so. We snorkled in an area known for turtles and we did see... More

HEY! If you want to have a safe and fun dive I would highly recommend Hawaii Nautical and Captian Lonnie Prince and crew as your guides. I can not imagine any dive operator doing more for his guests and insuring that everyone had a great time than this crew. The next time I am back in Hawaii I will definitely... More
