At Snorkel with Turtles Hawaii, we are one of the ONLY tour operators that gets you away from the crowded Waikiki snorkelers and in the water with NO MORE THAN 1 OTHER SNORKEL BOAT any given day for miles. Our shop is a quick 15-minute ride out to Hawaii Kai Marina, on the South East Corner of Oahu, and operates in the scenic Muanalua Bay. As nearly every other snorkel charter brings you to the same location outside of Waikiki, we go to sites where only another 1 or two operators frequent. The majority (95% of Oahu’s snorkel charters) go to the same place with 10-20 other boats and as many as 100 or more other snorkelers surrounding you, boats and snorkelers are the only thing you are guaranteed to see. We want you to experience the wildlife and natural beauty of our oceans, so we stay away from the crowds!

Oahu Catamaran Snorkel Tour: See Turtles 100% Guaranteed

Karla_P, May 2026

Worth It!

This tour was amazing and fairly priced. They texted us before the tour to confirm details. Very easy to find and was 15 minutes from our hotel. The crew was incredible. Captain was great and gave clear instructions. Crew was so nice and helpful up and friendly. Big thanks to George and Margaret for making us feel safe in the water. We saw a couple of turtles! Special plus with the co-captain Sushi the boat dog.

Family, Private & Group Surf Lessons w/ Waikiki Courtesy Shuttle

Ashley_E, Apr 2026

Great even when raining!

Instructors were excellent, helped us catch good waves, gave specific feedback, and got us two never before surfers multiple waves! I thought the time was perfect! My back was tired, but they helped us paddle sometimes when noticing we were tired. I had a lot of fun! We went when it was slightly rainy, but i didn’t notice the rain at all so it was a great rainy day activity. I rented a wetsuit for $10 and liked it while my husband went without a wetsuit and felt fine. GoPro and camera pictures from the shore available for purchase after

Waikiki Snorkeling & Ocean Waterpark Adventure from Oahu

Morgan_S, Apr 2026

100/10 experience.

It was fantastic! The crew was very informative and helpful as well as funny, very attentive. We saw quite a few different types of fish, as well as beautiful green turtles. They check before letting everyone off to make sure you see some ocean life :) the slide was great for all ages, the experience was more than I could asked for! I will recommend these guys time and time again! We rented a go pro and they were extremely helpful with getting the pictures uploaded to are phone. One tour guide even helped up get an amazing video of one of the turtles!!!! The boat was very clean and very nice. We saw dolphins and even a whale on the way out :) you won’t be disappointed:)! I do recommend you know how to swim, it doesn’t have to be life guard level but doggy paddle will get you pretty far with the floaters and flippers and all that they provide. They do make sure to address that, and are fine helping you and even encourage you to talk to the in private if it’s something you don’t want the whole boat knowing :) I would rate it 100/10

Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour - 2nd Tour

Wilma_H, Mar 2026

Fantastic Time!

It was an absolutely beautiful sand bar with all the sea life you would want to see! We saw 6 turtles and that was just on the way there! And more wonderfully colored fish once we snorkeled. Jasmine was fantastic, so bubbly and energetic and kept the environment fun and exciting, when we saw new things. Captian Z was great! Highly highly recommend!! We also lounged and paddle boarded cant wait to book it again for our next trip!!

Dive with Sharks in Hawaii: Shark Tour from Haleiwa

Ute_W, Mar 2026

Dive with the sharks, no cage!

The dive with sharks was the best thing I ever did. I was lucky and had the crew all to myself. They are the best on this world. Friendly, professional and respectful. I got to see so many sharks and the hole time I was in good and safe hands. When I come back to Hawaii I will definitely do it again. This is a experience of a lifetime.

X-treme Parasailing Honolulu

Our Captain, Sundance and mate, James were wonderful. This was a 21st birthday present for our grandson and 69th birthday for me. We were the only ones on the boat and they treated us so special. Great flight for us both. We did the 800+ foot length and got the drop splash at the end of the ride. Highly recommend them anytime!!!

Private Surfing Lessons in Waikiki

hima_k, Mar 2026

Kids had a wonderful experience

This was a safe, low stress way for my kids to have their first surf lesson. Both were exhausted when they got out of the water, but so happy. They couldn’t stop talking about the experience. I got a lot of “did you see me mom???” Also, the kids are older teens and for them to be this happy, you know it was a good experience. Lol

Waikiki Snorkel Tour – Small Group Experience + Free Videos

Sev_I, Jan 2026

OMG this experience was...

OMG this experience was AMAZING and honestly worth way more than what I paid. I first thought it was a scam because it was so affordable — but WOW, it exceeded all expectations. Daniel was an incredible instructor, constantly checking in and making sure I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. He took photos and videos for FREE, which turned out absolutely beautiful. I didn’t even know how to swim before this, and it was totally beginner-friendly. If you’re nervous or new, this is 100% the place to try. Highly, highly recommend! Definitely highlight of my trip!!!!

Waikiki Parasailing in Hawaii from Oahu

Michael_H, Nov 2025

Be prepared to pay a little more when you arrive

These guys were very professional and helpful. We had a great time. Just be aware, you will end up paying another $100 on top of what you paid for this excursion. You'll pay fuel service charge, parking, pictures, and tip. But, it's Hawaii, so I guess it's par for the course with everything in paradise.

Path to Pali Passage - 30 Min Helicopter Tour - Doors Off or On

Susan_S, Oct 2025

Rainbow Helicopters is first rate!

The Rainbow Helicopter team is professional and helpful. They are really responsive to questions through the Viator app. Josh was the pilot for today's flight. He was excellent handling the bird and answering questions. It was my first helicopter ride and I felt confident in his ability to show us around the island and get us safely back on the ground.

Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour

Scott_D, Jun 2025

Excellent tour

This was a great tour and the guide was excellent at both sharing stories on the way to and from Pearl Harbor, but also preparing us to get the most out of our time at the USS Arizona and USS Missouri. Our time was adjusted due to availability of the boat shuttle to the Arizona memorial, but that is common. Communication on the change was excellent: a text, call and email. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We appreciated the pickup in Waikiki near our hotel!
