My fiancé was quite skeptical of the experience because she can't swim. But this was something I really wanted to do and she said she'd go but might not go into the water.
Our guide's name was Sammy. After stopping at our spot everyone got in, but my fiance decided to hang out on the boat cause she wasn't sure she could keep up. Most people started heading back onto the boat after an hour or so. Sammy saw my fiance still on boat and said we still have time and offered to give her a private swim lesson and tour. He brought her out on a paddle board and gave her viewing lens to look into the water and swam around for 30 min trying to find turtles and other marine life. She said she saw lots of fish and he even swam to bottom to pick up an urchin to show her and it helped her a bit with her fear of ocean. I really appreciate the crew worked hard and made sure we stayed out as long as possible to ensure everyone enjoyed the trip. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii.
