Worst trip we have been on in the islands
Denise_Q
, May 2022
Crew couldn't find a place to tie up near the turtles so the went to a secondary location. It was horrible. Strong current made the water cloudy and dangerous. We only got to snorkel for 30 minutes. We had a party of 6, what a waste of money. Stay away from this boat.

Waste of money

Too short trip, If you are non swimmer don’t go on this particular tour, they don’t let you go . They just tell you be very close to boat. It’s a waste of money. I had done on big island , non swimmer but had so much fun.

It was mentioned as whale watch but we were told the whale season is over. Also we couldn’t do snorkeling as we don’t know how to swim. There are high currents on the day we went.

Thank you for your review of the Turtle Town Afternoon Snorkel Aboard the Quicksilver boat tour. While observing whales, dolphins, or turtles is not guaranteed we try our best to provide our guests with an enjoyable experience. The safety and care of all our passengers are our top priority! In fact, the captains and crew are fully-trained in ocean safety, and life jackets are provided for snorkeling.

Not what expected

Expensive for the short time of snorkel and not much to see. Hot dog and chips for snacks instead of actually lunch.

What a wonderful crew and beautiful boat. Instructors did a masterful job explaining snorkeling to newbies that were a bit nervous. Felt relaxed and confident in the water after our lessons. Sea turtles were all around us. Had to work hard to stay away from them as they seemed curious about us. Loved every second of this time in the water with them. The cherry on top was the huge pod of spinner dolphins that joined us and put on a spectacular show… almost as though Quicksilver staff orchestrated it for us! Thanks so much! Highly recommend!

The Skipper and his crew were awesome. We didn't get to go to Turtle Cove due to weather conditions, but the skipper took us to an amazing spot where we were still able to snorkel in calm waters. We saw turtles, tropical fish, and ate hot dogs. To top it off we saw a Whale which was not on the list of expectations.

We didn’t have time to whale watch because we sat in the harbor for 30 waiting for another boat to leave where all the turtles were.

Not worth the money
Elizabeth_R

This tour was definitely not worth $280. First of all, we had to stand in the blazing hot sun waiting for them to board us onto the boat. When we got on, they announced we would snorkel first, then kids could free jump into the water or use the slide on the side of the boat. Then lunch would be served and we would look for whales. We got to the snorkeling spot and there was another tour there already. We had to just sit on the boat and wait for them to leave. Finally, after about 30/40 min of sitting there, we got to go into the water. We were in the water approximately 15 min, then she yelled, “everyone back to the boat”. It was a mad rush for chips and hot dogs. Then they stated we were going back to the dock. No mention of kids going down the slide or jumping, no mention of looking for a whale? That was it. I’ve been on many whale watches, and they usually have spotters for this sort of thing. This trip did not. Very disappointing overall, I’m only giving it three stars because my kids did see sea turtles in the fifteen minutes of snorkeling, which saved the day.

Waited nearly 45 mins for another tour to leave before we could pull in our boat. Over 100 people on our excursion, by the time everyone got in the water to snorkel the weather changed so the excursion was ended. Last people to get in the water were only able to snorkel for 5 mins, if even. Once all back on boat lunch was served....hot dogs on moldy buns. Heard another passenger refer to the excursion as a sh!t show which pretty much summed it up. Complete waste of money and an entire day!
