What are people saying about Hawaii

Christopher_B, Jun 2026

Great experience!

This experience was amazing! This is our second time snorkeling, and our first time trying this company.The crew members were extremely nice and welcoming. The ship was clean, and you were offered a full size lifejacket or a waist life jacket with your snorkeling equipment. My children loved the inflatable slide off the side, and we were able to see many fish.

KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings

Derek_L, Jun 2026

Spectacular experience!

Absolutely, hands down, one of the coolest and most unique experiences of my life. My wife enjoyed it, my son wished he had a wet suit for warmth and my daughter freaked out a bit with how close they get. Overall though, it was a bucket list adventure that we enjoyed. Glad we brought the GoPro to capture it all. Mikey and the crew were great!

Waikiki: 2-hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure

Ashley_O, Jun 2026

This tour was super fun!...

This tour was super fun! I booked this tour solo and didn't know what to expect. I met some super cool and fun people (solo travelers and families) and had the best time! The captain Jamie, his crew Xavier and Jaden were super awesome! We were given instructions on how to properly use the snorkel equipment, what to do and what not to do. The crew made me feel very safe and secure while on board and in the water. We spotted and swam with multiple turtles and so many beautiful fish! On board was a total vibe, they played some good music, and have drinks on order! You can also jump off the boat or chill on the sun tanning area when you're not snorkeling. I highly recommend this tour!

Oahu Circle Island Snorkeling Tour: Dole, Pali Lookout & More

Juliejane_F, Jun 2026

Fantastic Circle Oahu Tour - Highly recommended!

We had an amazing experience on this tour! We stopped at the Blowhole, visited several beautiful beaches, enjoyed delicious prawns and chicken for lunch, and even went snorkeling. We also visited the Dole Plantation and rode the famous Pineapple Express train, which was a fun and unique experience. Along the way, we stopped at Leonard’s Bakery for their famous donuts, sampled plenty of free coffee, bought lots of souvenirs, and met many friendly people in our tour group. Our bus driver and tour guide, Tim, was outstanding. He was very friendly, knowledgeable about Hawaii, and an excellent driver. He even provided complimentary snacks and bottled water throughout the day. Tim shared lots of useful tips about Hawaii, including great hiking spots, local recommendations, and interesting facts about the island. His sense of humor kept everyone entertained, and his jokes had us laughing throughout the tour! Overall, this was a fun, well-organized tour with plenty to see and do. We saw so much of Oahu in just one day and made wonderful memories along the way. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii. Thank you, Tim, for making our day so enjoyable and memorable!

Waikiki: Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure on Oahu

Brittany_E, Jun 2026

Best ever !!

What an incredible trip! The crew was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and so helpful from start to finish. We brought our 5-year-old along with our teens, and every one of us had an absolute blast. We saw so many sea turtles both on the surface and underwater, and even spotted dolphins! It was truly a memorable experience for our whole family. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Hawaii!

Hanauma Bay Snorkeling from Waikiki

Kristen_C, Jun 2026

Worth every dollar

The driver (I think his name was Taiko or something with a T) was great and you could tell he took pride in what he does. Very knowledgeable and genuinely kind. Hanauma bay is our favorite place in the world and the limited ticketing system stresses me out, so the money spent for this service is very much worth it for the reliable transportation and confidence you will make it into the parks limited occupancy. 10/10 would recommend!

Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki

Brian_C, Jun 2026

Pearl Harbor Tour

The Pearl Harbor tour was well done, respectful of the sacrifice that was made in this solemn place, and it helped to provide historical information. Our driver and tour guide, Finniy, did an outstanding job of making certain that we all learned quite a bit of history and facts about Pearl Harbor.

Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch

Amanda_F, May 2026

Great half day excursion!

A great half day boat excursion for a great price! 45 min or so ride to the reef where you get to snorkel, jump or slide off the boat, and enjoy deli sandwiches/chips for about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. 42 people on the boat but it never felt crowded. Adrian was our captain and the crew was great! Our 12 and 9 year old boys loved snorkeling that area and jumping off the boat!

Manta Ray Night Snorkel at Kona, Big Island

Alex_S, May 2026

Unforgettable Manta Ray Night Snorkel with Dolphin Discoveries

We had an absolutely incredible manta ray snorkeling experience in Kona with Dolphin Discoveries. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. Huge shoutout to Captain Shelly, deckhands Rhi and Ethan, and especially Ethan for leading and supporting us in the water. The entire crew was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel completely safe and comfortable from start to finish. Seeing the manta rays up close at night was surreal — an unforgettable experience. The crew did an amazing job explaining what to expect, respecting the wildlife, and making sure every guest had a great view and experience in the water. You can tell this team genuinely loves what they do, and it absolutely shows. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kona without hesitation. If you’re considering a manta ray snorkel, book with Dolphin Discoveries — you won’t regret it!

Waikiki Turtle Canyon Snorkel: Turtles Guaranteed

Haylie_G, May 2026

The captain and crew were...

The captain and crew were wonderful! It was my first time snorkeling and they definitely made me feel more comfortable and they watch over you in the water. Being able to see the turtles was a very memorable experience and if we’re in the area again, we’ll definitely use them again.

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Cruise

Han_P, May 2026

Safest and most relaxing boat ride!

One of the most relaxing and beautiful boat rides. If you’re lucky you’ll get to see pods of dolphins as well. They’re not strict about bringing outside food and drinks onboard, just be sure not to leave them unattended since it can get windy out at sea. The boat was covered, so you don’t have to wear a hat unless you’re planning to sit or walk toward the front area of the boat. There’s a small bathroom onboard. The ride was steady and relaxing. The railings are safely secured, so it’s safe for kids to walk around as well. Jim and Cameron were very informative, kind, and humorous throughout the entire ride.
