This was such a fun trip! The highlight for my kids was definitely the huge slide! The current was really strong the day we went and the crew members were so attentive and made sure we all stayed safe and close to the boat! Captain Jim, Vincent and Patty were amazing and we all had a great time! Would definitely book this trip again!

Great fun at the Oahu 5-1 with my kids and wife. Boys had an amazing time shooting down the slide over and over, snorkeling, high diving, trampoline and more! Definitely recommend if you love adventurous activities like this in addition to normal snorkeling

My 7 year old had a blast. My 19 year old and myself got sea sick halfway through but had a great time until then. The crew was engaging and explained everything well. They were very helpful with gear and keeping an eye out for us. We saw dolphins jumping and a turtle. Definitely recommend this for your trip.

One bad crew member can ruin the entire team

david_c, Jul 2026

One of the crew members was very mean to us. Careless of what we want. He just wanted to finish his task as fast as he can. He handed me a medium size life vest. I asked him if he can change to larger size. Without checking , he said "No". I was stuck with a smaller size. That life jacket almost choked me when I was in the water due to the smaller size. I finally managed to swim up to the boat. Almost out of breath. I mentioned this to another crew member. He immediately said that we have many large life jackets.

Great trip!

Amy_D, Jul 2026

The crew was great… they have a tough job! They are responsible for the safety of so many people and they take it seriously which they should as the conditions can make for a dangerous situation if one is not a strong swimmer. So listen to their warnings and obey directions and you will be fine. We got lucky and had like half of the people that the boat can hold. There was a swell coming in so we couldn’t see much but luckily, we saw two sea turtles, swimming along us as we were anchoring. It was just nice to be in that beautiful blue water and enjoy the ocean. They provided granola bars and some orange drink and water. I saw people with beer that they had brought on themselves. My husband and I did not use any of the inflatable stuff even though we had purchased the right to do so. I know that you can get a pink wristband which does not include the inflatables and pay a little less, but I’m not sure how to do that on their website. The boat is awesome and they get extra credit for playing a lot of great country songs! Thanks for a great time!

This was such a fun trip!...

Kera_S, Jun 2026

We had so much fun on this boat! We loved the slide and saw turtles and beautiful fish while snorkeling. The crew were awesome too. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it is listed as a 3 hour tour, but we were back at the dock in 2.5 hours. Which meant we only had about 1.5 hours in the water. Would still recommend, just be mindful of the time.

Fun times

Marty_K, Jun 2026

This was a great excursion out in water with slide, kayaks, snorkeling etc... The boat was a lil overcrowded for our liking, there is no where to walk or get out of people's way when trying to get to other areas. Would suggest smaller crowds by AT LEAST 30 less just to give some breathing room. Especially when people are taking their kids, because not all parents care to make their kids be courteous or mind, then you have them stepping on your feet running by to get to other side or slide. But the Crew were fabulous!

Amazing Experience

Brian_D, Jun 2026

Be prepared for some of the most beautiful scenery you have ever witnessed. I was in awe the entire trip.

Fun Day, But Didn’t Get What Was Advertised

Andre_G, Jun 2026

The crew was great, friendly, and we had a good time overall. The only reason I’m giving three stars is because the trip did not match what was advertised. We were asked to arrive 30 minutes early for an 11:00 AM departure, but we didn’t actually leave the harbor until about 11:30 AM. It then took roughly 15 minutes to reach the snorkeling area and another 10 minutes to get anchored. Once we were in the water, we had fun. We saw plenty of fish, used the slide, and jumped off the side of the boat. However, after only about 45–60 minutes in the water, we were told it was time to head back. We never had the opportunity to use the paddle boards, kayaks, or trampoline that were advertised as part of the experience. We left the snorkeling area and returned to the dock around 1:30 PM. In reality, this was a 2-hour trip, not the 3-hour excursion that was advertised and paid for. Had we received the full extra hour, I would have enjoyed the experience much more. Unfortunately, there simply wasn’t enough time to enjoy all the activities that were promoted. Spending about 30 minutes getting to the snorkeling spot and then having limited time in the water made the overall experience disappointing.

Cody_H, Jun 2026

The staff was great and super friendly! My family and I had a blast! My 7 year old daughter loved the trampoline the most!!

Fun in the sun

Bernice_M, Jun 2026

It was fun but I wish we had seen more fish and turtles. The activities were really fun and we enjoyed it a lot!

Disrespectful Crew

Jasmine_A, Jun 2026

It pains me to have to leave such a disappointing review considering how excited I was to do this experience, but I am so deeply offended by the lack of respect and basic customer service quality of members of the crew during my trip. They were just plain rude and short with me. I got to the boat in time for the experience but unfortunately my friend didn’t make it in time and I COMPLETELY understood that, it’s a business and there are strict time stamps. HOWEVER, what happened upon me entering the boat was completely uncalled for. I took my seat next to another family as I was now doing this experience alone and as the crew was closing up the ramp, the metal part completely crushed my foot and as I was trying to alert the men of what was happening (literally everyone near me could see it), they just ignored me and once they finally saw what was going on, instead of simply just saying sorry, one of the crew members (think his name was Benny) responded by saying “why weren’t you louder”…and then proceeded to NEVER apologize?!??? Like this is just basic manners. Basic respect. Same crew member put his hands on me to move me out of his way trying to get to another end of the boat later on in the cruise as well. Again, could have just said a simple “excuse me”. For a culture where respect is literally law, I saw a DEEP lack of aloha during my time on this cruise and it honestly just felt like I was being punished for my friend not making it in time. Very weird, so strange, and just left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyone working in a field that requires interacting with other humans should have enough patience and respect to handle the job. I really hope no one else is treated like this again.

Best option for your family that has smaller kids

This was an awesome experience sure to see many types of fish. I have taken this trip twice on this visit and enjoyed both times.

Would recommend.

Calla_D, Apr 2026

Second time doing this. Awesome way to introduce family to diving. Danny was an awesome guide. John stole his cheeseburger. We will never forget, John.

Anela_I, Feb 2026

crew was dope, down to earth. came for my husbands birthday and he had a blast. we were the first ones in the water once we stopped and the fish were arms length like i could literally touch them if i reached out. didn’t get to see any turtles but there were lots of fish and it was overall a really cool experience. the slide and the kayak/paddleboard is a whole different purchase though it was like $50 to add on. either way would definitely recommend!!

Crew and boat where...

Terrible - stole my money!

gtorresmedia, Jan 2026

Terrible experience. Don’t waste your money, these people are thieves and unprofessional. They stole my money!

Save yourself- dont do it!

kiersten_s, Jan 2026

Terrible experience. Was so crowded. It felt over sold Also people who purchased one activity or allowed to do all five like our group paid for. We were told there would be food in the average to purchase on the boat but when we checked in, he said the earlier morning sail had consumed everything. The boat was filthy and disgusting and the cost for this experience . Have always trusted. Viator and this was by far the worst excursion and experience we have ever had.

Excursion for CHILDREN

Michelle_M, Dec 2025

This excursion is for children. It is crowded, the kayaks and paddle boards are tied up so you can’t go within 100 yards, and some of the staff is unprofessional. As we were leaving the boat, one of the staff was yelling at the other one for letting people out from another area because they needed to give tips. It ended up being a bickering awkward situation. We were happy to get off the boat.

Great family adventure

Todd_K, Dec 2025

Great time for everyone. The big slide was the best! The crew was great with lots of energy. Despite lots of people on the boat, it was a great time.

Sad

Larry_H, Dec 2025

They canceled the excursion. Very little rain but I kinda understand, for the kids safety. Maybe next year

Never again

Sharon_S, Dec 2025

Was taken out in deep water couldn’t see much under water. Wasn’t allowed to go past 100 feet of boat so that rendered kayaks and paddle boards useless. Staff didn’t notice one of our party struggling in the water. Had to be dragged back to the boat by a teenage kid. Water was choppy there were about 10 people out of the 40 aboard lying about miserably sea sick. Overall bad experience. Then they went on the loud speaker and told us they “expected” a tip and how much it should be.

Not an actual snorkel experience, staff was amazing though.

Sara_P, Dec 2025

Although this was fun it was definitely disappointing. We didn't see turtles, very limited fish as well. The boat itself didn't have enough equipment for everyone who wanted to snorkel, or enough life vests for people who wanted one. This is more of a boat to play on. The crew was so amazing though. I don't remember the lady's name but she was holding babies, and helping people get into the water. It was so heart warming watching her help guide another passenger into the water.

Great for families.

Sara_S, Dec 2025

We had a great time, booked with a couple of other families. Our kids had a blast!! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun day of boat activities. Also recommend sea sickness pills or patches if you have any issues that way you can enjoy all the activities. Staff and captain are really great! Make the experience enjoyable and safe.

Nice trip for whole family.

Emily_B, Nov 2025

I loved going out into the ocean and feeling the ocean spray. It was very soothing. My toddler wasn't in a cooperative mood though so I had to keep my eye on him. So snorkeling was out of the question, but I did go with him into the kayak. He loved it a lot. My mom enjoyed it as well.
