Island Splash tours was amazing. An intimate experience with a small group allowed personal attention to all. Preston, Trent, Benny, and Emma were fantastic. Personable, funny, welcoming, kind, and supportive. All the equipment was provided, in good shape, and the team was knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend them!

As soon as I went in the water there were fish all around! Super cool experience, I had so much fun. Captain even gives out an extra float if you feel like the life vest isn’t enough. Staff made sure everyone was ok at all times and they even brought up a sea urchin for people to hold! Will definite be coming back! 💯 recommend!!! So many different fish to see and we saw 6 turtles!!! 🐠🐢 Great for all ages :)

We had an incredible snorkeling trip from start to finish! The crew was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe the entire time. The guides were knowledgeable about the area and marine life.
You could tell the team genuinely cared about giving guests an amazing experience. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable time on the water.

This was my first time snorkeling with flippers. It was amazing! The captain and instructors were great.
There are a lot of other boats in the same vicinity and they keep you grouped together so when turtles do come up, everyone is bumping into each other. That's the only part I didn't like. Other than that, it was pretty amazing to see how large the sea turtles are.
Karen_H, May 2026
Excellent staff very attentive. Focus on your safety. Great experience for kids and family. Don’t be concerned if you are not a swimmer. Lie jacket floats are provided. .
Michael_W, May 2026
Very helpful getting set up with the snorkels, they took us right to a good spot and made sure we saw lots of turtles
Kara_S, May 2026
The guides were amazing and the photographer was exceptional! It is best if you are comfortable in the water, but you do have floating devices in case you get tired.
Samuel_J, May 2026
The team were really lovely and helpful. Was a nice boat, and they really took time to run through all the equipment and everything we'd need to know. During the snorkle time they had a bunch of team members in with us point out turtles and explaining about all the fish and other things we saw. Great time and really appreciate how lovely and friendly they all were.

Aloha, mahalo nui loa for snorkeling with us at Island Splash Tours! We’re so happy to hear you had such a great experience out at Turtle Canyon and that our crew helped make you feel comfortable and prepared from the start.
Our Waikiki snorkel tour is one of the top things to do in Honolulu, and we always make sure to go over all equipment and safety so guests feel confident before getting in the water. Once out at Turtle Canyon, having multiple crew members in the water to guide, point out Hawaiian green sea turtles, and share knowledge about the reef is a big part of what makes the experience so special.
From snorkeling in Waikiki to turtle snorkeling on Oʻahu, we focus on creating a fun, safe, and educational experience so guests can fully enjoy the ocean while learning about the marine life around them.
Mahalo again for the kind words about our team, we’d love to welcome you back again for another Waikiki snorkel tour or even a Waikiki sunset cruise along the Honolulu coastline. Mahalo nui loa and a hui hou!

Our Waikiki snorkel tour is one of the top things to do in Honolulu, giving guests the opportunity to snorkel with Hawaiian green sea turtles and explore vibrant reef life just off the Waikiki coastline. Turtle Canyon is known as one of the best snorkeling spots on Oʻahu, and every tour offers something unique in the water.
It means a lot to hear that our crew’s professionalism and focus on safety stood out to you. Creating a fun, safe, and well-guided experience is at the core of every Honolulu snorkel tour we run.

Joseph_L, Apr 2026
It goes to one spot and it’s crowded with lots of other tour groups. It has lots of turtles as advertised!
Snacks and drinks were mentioned in the ad but never offered.
Joanne_R, Apr 2026
Very professional crew and very friendly. Extremely thorough with their safety presentation before we entered the water and the snorkels were clean and were good quality. The boat was also clean and in excellent condition as it’s only 1 year old. Alex the skipper and main man was super friendly, polite and genuinely keen to show us a good time with the turtles. We felt really safe with the crew as they were looking after us in the water and keeping a watchful eye on everyone. The young lady whose name I unfortunately can’t remember gave us a wonderful presentation about the turtles and was super nice. Water and juice were included which was nice to have upon returning to the boat.
Overall it was a wonderful experience run by a very professional team! Thanks guys, a great one for the memories! 🥰

Great staff . Very knowledgeable and friendly. Totally worth experiencing while you’re on the island ! It was insanely gorgeous, we saw probably 15 turtles in the span of an hour . We will definitely come back every time and take a trip with Island Splash Tours.

Brandy_C, Apr 2026
Great experience and crew. Crew captian even called to verify location of boat. Even did underwater photos.
Brenda_N, Apr 2026
All the tour guides are amazing and fun. They teach you about the island the turtles and they have fun with you too. Great experience!!
Glen_W, Apr 2026
You need your own towel and make sure you have your swimming gear already on - something to bear in mind if you are spending the day out and doing the later afternoon tour. This is a vibrant young company and they were very gregarious and fun. We only caught two turtles to view BUT were lucky enough to see whales late in the season (late April) and also a very curious seal which came right up to the boat so these were unexpected bonuses.
Jodie_P, Apr 2026
The crew was amazing and we saw soooo many turtles!!!! You will not regret taking this tour!! Thank you to the team!
Shawn_S, Apr 2026
