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.

Our crew was amazing! They gave lots of tips and we meet some amazing people during our few hours with everyone. Just an FYI that you are going with other groups. Everything is provided for you; all you need is your own towel.
Crew was so amazing. Experience was endless fun. We saw sea turtles and had lots of fun with the slides and jumping off of the boat.
The staff was very good, helped where needed and were kind. Disappointing with heavy current and only saw one kind of fish and no turtles. My grandson had a ball on the slide and jumping platform. The trip was only a little more two hours rather than three hours as advertised. For a trip at the price point paid was far less than expected.
Patty was amazing and outgoing and he made it fun by teasing the kiddos. Having kiddos have a smile all the time on the entire time is amazing
The place they take you to snorkel and see turtles was very deceiving. The trampoline, water slide and deck jumps were fun, but something I would not recommend if your interested in seeing turtles, fish or coral. We saw maybe 20 fish because the captain threw out food for them to come. No turtles, no coral, just rocks and ocean sand. We were very let down for the price we paid.
First off, this isn't my first time in Hawaii or experience with “snorkeling with turtles”. I get in line to “check in” vincent tells us we haven't signed any waivers. To which i reply, “oh would this be in my email?” (Since i booked thru viator and not directly with them) he said “i don't know i dont have access to your email do i?” And he quickly just shows me a QR code and tells me to sign the waivers quickly. Which after that interaction I was immediately turned off by wanting to get on this boat. I only remembered this crew members name because I had another interaction with him while on the boat. I mentioned that i was slightly sea sick and asked me if i wanted some ginger chew and tossed it at me. Mind you we were two feet away from each other he just handed it to me. My gf then mentioned she thinks she might have gotten her period and asks him if they had any toiletries and he responded with “i have napkins” and maybe dont go into the water theres sharks (and made a joke about how its shark week). Secondly, This excursion is advertised as “3 hours” we were back in our car by 2.5 hours in. The details also say that “you will snorkel with turtles” that didnt happen either. They only let you do the activities for about an hour. There wasnt any food or snacks provided like they advertised as well. Wish i had just cancelled this whole experience and saved my money. I have had a previous experience through pink sails (cheaper too) and that one was great from start to finish we actually saw turtles and a lot more fish.
The boat and crew were great. My family enjoyed the trip. The only drawback was the time we had in the water. The excursion was scheduled for 3 hrs, but we only had 1 hr in the water. The rest of the time was spent leaving/ returning to the pier and anchoring.
The three hours starts from the time you board to the time you return to sock leaving you with about 1 hour of playing in the water and doing all the activities. The crew provides water, lemonade, and granola bars as snacks. To do all five activities you’d have to rush through each one to do them all. We did the slide, snorkels and jumped off the boat then time ran out. We did not see any turtles but I know that’s outside of the crews control. Overall it was a nice time just felt short and rushed. For the price I’m not sure I’d do it again.
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.
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! 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
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.
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!
Be prepared for some of the most beautiful scenery you have ever witnessed. I was in awe the entire trip.
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.
The staff was great and super friendly! My family and I had a blast! My 7 year old daughter loved the trampoline the most!!
It was fun but I wish we had seen more fish and turtles. The activities were really fun and we enjoyed it a lot!
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.
Definitely a must do when you're on the island! I highly recommend! The crew was super professional and awesome
So much fun! Had such a great time, a variety of things to do and the staff were so outgoing and friendly!!
It is so very fun to go down the slide and jump off the boat me and my friend had and amazing time and the crew was super sweet!!
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.
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.
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 great, great astrosphere, crew where friendly and fun. Boat was clean. Water was a little ruff on our day, but overall a great experience
A must do while here on the island!! They tour guides where friendly and nice and very accommodating in every aspect!!
All the staff were amazing and the trip was fantastic! Great music. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful trip and views
Staff was wonderful! Cloudy day but worthwhile. Water sports were fun. Many fish with snorkeling. Saw several whales and many dolphins.
Terrible experience. Don’t waste your money, these people are thieves and unprofessional. They stole my money!
