The crew was absolutely amazing and accommodating towards everyone on the boat. I would give them 10 stars if I could! There were plenty of Galapagos Sharks swimming nearby the cage, just within an arms reach. On the ride there and back we were able to see a couple of giant sea turtles popping their heads above the water and dolphins jumping out the water. It was definitely a surreal experience that I enjoyed. I do plan to go careless shark diving soon so this definitely warmed me up! I will definitely be coming back to do this again with my sister! Book now, you won’t regret it!
I was misled from your website thinking this included tickets to the Arizona. I think you should specify that as a disclaimer that is very visible so others like me don’t miss out on that experience! Your site says USS Arizona all over but when we went to see it we were turned away!! Very upsetting and frustrating!!
The weather wasn’t very cooperative (rainy, windy, lots of large waves) and we understand that wasn’t their fault but it made for a very tough experience. The guides were very friendly, kind, and wanted everyone to have a good experience however, and kept checking in with everyone. The music was a bit loud.
The crew was wonderful. We has a great time. But we didn't get to snorkel and they only offered my 20% off if we paid for another trip. That's not what we paid for. The wind was too much and i understand that but I feel like we should have gotten a choice to go.
Audio tour comes with a paper guide but you also need to pay attention to the sites to find all the points of interest. We did not get that direction, we figured it out on our own and missed some of the points we passed before we figured it out.
