What are people saying about Oahu

Kevin_S, Aug 2026

Perfect for All Ages and Abilities

We loved it. We have snorkeled before but the group stays together and there is a guide who made it very easy for inexperienced snorkelers as well. We saw at least 30 sea turtles and plenty of fish. Then, after an hour of snorkeling they sail back (instead of the motor used to get to Turtle Canyon) so you can relax with a drink and enjoy the journey.

Oahu Shark Dive on the North Shore

Lacy_H, Aug 2026

Great experience!

This experience was definitely worth the money! There were so many sharks all around the cage, felt completely safe and had a blast. The tour guides Dustin and (can’t remember the other gentleman’s name wanna say Marden) were fantastic! They were super friendly and Informative and made the experience awesome. If you get motion sickness at all definitely take your meds the ride was rough.

Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki

With kids

I was so pleased with this experience, we are a family of 5 my husband and 3 daughters. My daughters are 7 and two 4 year old twins, while they were a bit nerves they loved this experience. They are used to the LEGOLAND submarine ride so we thought the real thing would be fun for them, they were mostly scared because they knew we may see a shark and thought it might be dangerous. We explained how safe we would be and we in fact did see a shark and so many beautiful fish. The staff was great and so sweet and informative, would recommend with kids.

Captain Carlos, Cameron,...

Captain Carlos, Cameron, Des and Kaitlyn were awsome. They were fun, and also made safety a first priority. Very catering to needs when a passenger had question or was not feeling well. They made sure we got to see the turtles and fish while keeping us a safe distance to our two life guards. The sail after was amazing with great views of the shoreline. Would definitely book them again.

Above and beyond our expectations

These guys were top notch! Docks, boat and equipment were clean. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, patient, respectful, and fun! They answered every question and gave clear instructions. We felt safe throughout the entire experience. They made sure we saw as much as utterly possible. Then there’s the video and the pictures! They captured every aspect we would have if we were filming ourselves!

Had a blast! The...

Had a blast! The catamaran is super nice and extremely spacious. We had a smaller group for our tour ~20 which was perfect as everyone had plenty of space to relax on the front deck without being on top one another. The’ll cruise for ~an hour to begin the trip allowing you to soak in the beautiful sights of the coast and if you’re lucky you might see a pod of dolphins! We ran into a group of what must’ve been 20-30 of them and watched as they swam and played alongside the boat. You’ll then have ~an hour (maybe a bit more) to snorkel and swim. On the way back we were treated to a tasty BBQ Buffett and an open bar. Would highly recommend for couples and families alike

A wonderful turtle tour with Hawaii Nautical

Five stars for Hawaii Nautical! The entire crew—Captain Christopher, Kelsie, and Cat—were absolutely fantastic, exceptionally friendly, and so helpful throughout the trip. The ride out on their huge catamaran was incredibly smooth and comfortable as we headed out to see the sea turtles. The absolute highlight of the day was an unexpected surprise: the crew got word that a super rare whale shark was in the area. They didn't hesitate and quickly got us over there to see it, turning an already great day into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this amazing crew!

Swim with Dolphins Catamaran with Waterslide & Lunch on Oahu

Felicia_C, Jun 2026

Worth it!

I would tell anyone that this is definitely a trip worth paying for! We got picked up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and then traveled to the West Shore by bus for about an hour. You take your shoes off before getting on the boat and can sit either downstairs or upstairs. It’s a lot rockier upstairs so I suggest for those that get seasick to sit downstairs. You can see anything the crew spot from either levels. We were incredibly lucky and saw 2-3 pods of dolphins as soon as the boat left the dock. Once out in deep water, we saw quite a few pods again. We then went to the shallow waters for some snorkeling to see turtles and fish. No turtles for us but we did see a manta ray. The crew were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Minako. Words of caution - you need to know how or at least look up the basics on how we to snorkel before going on the trip. Even though the crew said they’d teach you, they don’t have a lot of time or are focused on other things. Minako was great in helping my 7 year old in the shallow water; he was so scared and nauseous during the trip he didn’t go into the water until she helped guide him to the floating mat. Travis was equally amazing by letting him go on the paddle board with him. All in all, well worth the time, money and seasickness!

Wild Dolphin Watching and Snorkel Safari Off West Coast of Oahu

Michael_K, Jan 2026

Well-run, small-boat tour

Well-run, small-boat tour. Knowledgeable crew shared unusual facts about sea-life behavior and physiology. We saw a pod of spinner dolphins within minutes of leaving the shore, and then an endangered monk seal. Later saw 4 sea turtles while snorkeling. No whale sightings that day, but dramatic views of Leeward Oahu's pali (cliffs). Because boats dock at Waianae, the included Waikiki pick-up and drop-off is a nice extra: Tourists don't need to have a car, nor worry about gauging driving time before departure. Other nice touches: lunch included, no alcoholic drinks, and no party music (unlike the larger Dolphins and You boat we anchored near later).
