From start to finish this was exceptional. The staff were chill and funny. They were very informative and were ready for a great time! There was only 12 people on our boat which was incredible. I love the small quantity! Complimentary drinks were available. These guides were amazing! 10/10 and would use this company again for sure

The tour was incredible, we got to see so many turtles including a baby (Tiny Tina) as well as fish, the reef and was just an incredible experience. The guides all did a tremendous job with keeping the group together, informed and brining to new areas to see turtles. Emma our photographer was also incredible, cannot wait to get the edited photos back with us and the turtles!

Oliver_N, Aug 2026
It was a great trip, lots of boats and people but saw turtles and fish! Mission accomplished. They take you 10 min from the harbor, anchor up in 30ft of water and find the congregation of turtles “turtle living room” on the bottom. There are several other boats and people around. If you don’t mind crowd then this is a great reasonably priced quick turtle sight seeing trip.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Everyone on the boat is so kind and helpful. Due to the storm our initial appointment was pushed back and they were very communicative. They allowed us to reschedule and I’m so grateful for that. On the excision itself, they are very hands on and do try their best to make sure you have a good time.

Well done. Highly recommend Capt. Preston and his crew. he was everything a good water tour guide and boat commander should be. I would recommend for either the “turtle cruise or the evening sunset cruise”.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! Communication was smooth throughout the entire trip, and the crew was fantastic. We saw so many sea turtles and tons of beautiful fish. We felt completely safe the whole time, and the guides did a great job leading the group and helping us spot the turtles while keeping a respectful distance from them. You could tell they really cared about both the guests and the wildlife. Highly recommend this tour!

We loved this tour! Went with my MIL and husband and we had a great 2 hours. The perfect amount of time!
No toilet on board but that’s okay as it’s not too long of a trip.

I went with my wife and 10 yo son. To be honest, I thought I had booked a catamaran tour, which is what I did when I lived in Oahu 10 years ago, but this was not a catamaran. It was just as good, though (maybe even a little better, depending on your personal preferences). Unlike a catamaran, this boat was quite roomy and had shade. The crew managed a group of about thirty expertly, providing good direction throughout the tour. Emma, Bennie, and Elliott were young (to me), but it was evident they were very skilled and knew what they were doing. We saw a lot of turtles, schools of reef fish, and Bennie even swam down and found an octopus to show the kids. Top notch service. I would highly recommend. Also, very easy to find in the harbor right next to Hilton Hawaiian Village. Alex was the skipper, and he’s done a great job organizing and staffing this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
What an incredible review—thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad you and your family had such a memorable day with us. It means a lot to hear that our spacious boat, attentive crew, and overall experience exceeded your expectations.
We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Emma, Bennie, Elliott, and Captain Alex. They’ll love hearing that their hard work, from finding an octopus for the kids to making everyone feel comfortable and safe, made such a lasting impression. Thank you for recommending Island Splash Tours, and we hope to welcome your family back for another Turtle Canyon snorkeling adventure the next time you’re in Waikīkī! 🐢🐙🌊
