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

Ton of fun. Didn't see a bunch of turtles but it didn't take away from the experience at all. Boat captains were fantastic 👍🏻

Beautiful turtles and fish-but crowded. Things opened up a little by the fish and they swam a feet from you which really cool.
karli_F, Jun 2026
The entire experience from start to finish was great. The captain texted us to make
Sure we were on our way and how to properly get there to the appropriate dock. Waiver was also easy. Everyone was knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Beautiful view great experience.
Nicole_F, Jun 2026
Very smooth with a great crew. They explained everything and were very friendly. I Would say the snorkeling was a bit strenuous but doable. Waters also a little choppy for those that get seasick this may not be a good choice.

Small but knowledgeable crew. Gear works well in general, small issue with water getting in the nose.
Marie_S, Jun 2026
Took an island tour and had a better experience being up close and personal with the turtles than this. Majority of the staff were super nice with the exception of one of the men staff. He was a bit rude and snarky when my mom got excited and pointed out the turtles below us. “I know there’s turtles ma’am I wouldn’t have brought you here if there weren’t.”
Overall it was a good experience- just wouldn’t do it again.

The experience was a great one. The staff was young but very knowledgable. Our family had a great time. The young men were raised right by their mommas, very caring making sure everyone was taken care of and having a great time. We had a boy with autism and one of the crew members stayed with him and his mother and was helping him to see the fish under water and Emma that took out pictures made sure she took good pictures of him. Emma by the way is a sweet mermaid lol the fins on that gal are amazing!

It was a great experience….great crew …lots of fish, turtles, urchin and an octopus…so much fun! Best excursion we did on our vacation!
Eric_C, Jun 2026
If you don't go in the morning when the water is a little bit calmer, it does get a bit choppy in the afternoon. So, if you get seasick, try a morning run. The crew was upbeat and fantastic with all the guests. They were also very concerned about your safety, so if you are not a good swimmer, they had (2) people in the water on surfboards to help you at any moment.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

If you are staying in Waikiki, this snorkeling excursion is a great option. You may or may not see sea turtles, but you will very likely swim alongside a variety of colorful schools of fish.
I must admit that I was a bit intimidated when I saw how deep the water was. However, the staff was attentive, professional, and focused on safety. They provided me with a flotation buoy to swim with, which helped me feel much more comfortable.
I am directionally challenged and accidentally went to the wrong location at first, but I was relieved to finally make it to the boat for the excursion. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and well taken care of both in and out of the water. There were multiple staff members monitoring participants throughout the experience and ensuring everyone stayed safe among the many boats operating in the area.

It was great! We were able to see a monk seal on the trip and also it felt safe traveling in a group. They went over all safety protocols before we jumped in the water and gave us all the gear.
