They know exactly where to take you to see a variety of marine life. We saw stingrays, turtles and lots of fish. Oh, and a seal in the harbor as we pulled in.
The only thing is, there were lots of other snorkelers all in the same area, so it can be a bit crowded at times.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out things to look at as we swam along the canyon. The boat was clean and up to regulation. They even had snacks and water for us on the boat. We had a great time!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed seeing so much marine life, from stingrays and turtles to that surprise seal in the harbor. It’s great to hear our guide helped you spot all the amazing underwater sights and that you found the boat comfortable and well-equipped. We understand the snorkeling areas can get busy, but we’re happy it didn’t take away from your great time with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Awesome snorkeling experience. Was able to see many turtles while snorkeling. Do not miss this one!!!!

Mahalo Kelly! I'm happy to hear you had a great time snorkeling, and got to see the sea turtles.
We enjoyed our time in and out of the water! We would most definitely rebook another trip with Dive Oahu on our next trip! Thank you all so much for this great experience!
Sit back and relax! Enjoy the adventure. Very fun people and you are completely safe 😊 We also saw Humback Whales playing at sea ❤️
Most memorable was the turtles. I wish the boat did not mix scuba with snorkelers. So much time was spent teaching and instructing scuba and snorkelers were allowed very little time in the water. We spent most of the time waiting, just sitting on the boat.
It was amazing! The crew was super friendly, very passionate about the dive and animals! Adam, Heather and Ami are the best and would absolutely recommend!
Entire crew was amazing. Jerod my snorkel guide was awesome. Safety was always a priority. He knew his stuff!!
Even though the water was a little chilly they provided us with wet suits which helped. It was very cool to see several giant sea turtles and Austin was very helpful in making sure that we saw them and also different kinds of fish. Alex was a great captain. Definitely would recommend this tour.
Absolutely love this trip. I went snorkeling with my fiancé and we had a wonderful time. Crew was amazing.
individualized attention from Austrin and Lyndsey. Very different from other companies with poor qua;ity equipment that feel like a cattle car.
We were assured that this was a snorkeling only tour however there were mostly divers. Our snorkel guide Jordan was fantastic. This is a dive boat, catering to divers. We saw many turtles including 6 all together in one spot.
Staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. We snorkled with Emerald and she was very attentive.
Such an amazing experience and the crew was so incredible. We saw a lot of turtles and we even saw dolphins
Emerald was a great guide and got us as close as possible to the turtles. Even with the light rain, it was a great experience!
Saw turtles immediately on the first dive. Emma was a great snorkel guide! We also had several schools of fish to observe. Not much to see other than a school of fish on the second dive, but it’s nice to hit 2 locations.
Did an amazing job with our snorkeling. The team was professional, efficient, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them!
Stay away. Tour designed for divers; snorkelers not a priority; stops boring for snorkeling, tour guide disinterested and rude. Do not recommend.

Yikes , no one likes a bad review, there was 12 people on a boat designed for 49 pax ( diving we limit it 21 Divers. yes there was 5 first time divers, 4 certified divers and 3 snorkels , Eve's group had a person guild for her group of 3 people for personal attention. I believe the water was a little rough but she went to Oahu's number #1 turtle location ........... there might be more to this story. and I'm bummed for the bad review as we don't get many
The wonderful crew was so informative. The Captain tried very hard to find turtles for use.
Thank you for the wonderful experience!
We did a 10:30am snorkeling tour with Dive Oahu. We went to 2 snorkeling sights but unfortunately we were not able to see anything in both sights aside from a couple of turtles. This was a dive and snorkeling tour so I guess they had picked spots that were more preferable to dive than snorkel. That being said, the staff were great and did everything they could to accommodate us. We had a couple of people in our group who needed help with being in the water and the staff was very supportive and helpful. Next time we will pick an all snorkeling trip rather than a combined dive trip.
My husband and I had a great time snorkeling. The team was super nice 👍🏻 overall it was a great experience -just a little crowded. If possible, select the morning tour.
An awesome experience ! Up close to the turtles and the captain and staff are amazing ! Would recommend it for a morning in Honolulu!
Loved seeing the sea turtles! Highly recommend this adventure. I’m not a swimmer yet had no problem!
Everyone was very helpful. Great crew aboard and also at check in.
The young man in the shop was very pleasant and fun. Wonderful attitude just like everyone else.
We boarded the stress Relief boat and had a blast .
Crew was friendly and very informative !!
I recommend 100%
Great tour! Excellent guide! Lots of turtles and fish!
Wear booties (the entry is a bit rocky) and bring a camera.
It was my daughter’s first experience. She enjoyed it but got a little sea sick. The crew was awesome!!
Shawn and Michael were great and very helpful. We went early in the morning with one other couple and it was so beautiful and relaxing. Saw a lot of sea turtles!
Jim and Nacho were amazing. I have never gone snorkeling and Jim was very helpful helping me get in the water. My 8yr old daughter was scared but was eventually swimming in the water. Nacho and Jim were awesome ♡
i definitely believe you should try this at least once in your life! my experience was so much fun and my instructor was so kind to me. i threw up after snorkeling because of how rocky the boat was but that's okay it wasn't their fault! they actually put me through the steps of how to calm down and gave me time to rest. i absolutely would recommend them!
The entire crew was a class act - would do this again in a heartbeat. Service oriented and friendly bunch.
