I highly recommend this tour! The tour size was kept very reasonable. There was plenty of room on board to move around, sit comfortably, and personal attention was given to each passenger. Refreshments were also provided on board. Huge shoutout to Captain Greg for the smooth sailing and Joe for being an amazing tour guide. Both were charismatic, personable, and knowledgeable. Their appreciation for nature was also apparent and added to our excitement. None of my group had any snorkeling experience, but we were given clear instructions and tips to get the most out of our time in the water. The guys clearly knew their stuff because we ended up seeing so many turtles as well as a variety of fish, sea urchins, reefs, etc. We truly enjoyed our time and would book with them again! Also, one of my group was getting nauseous/sea-sick, and the crew was able to help her out which was very appreciated. 10/10 experience

Capitán and staff are very friendly, accommodating, very approachable and informative. Made our adventure fun, exciting and safe. We would highly recommend them. If you like snorkeling, this is who you need to book with.
Captain Krush and crew were knowledgeable and great for this trip! I brought my 2 kids (6&11 yo) and saw lots of turtles and dolphins and even an octopus and eagle ray! Wonderful memories to take home. Would highly recommend this experience on this boat.
My fiancée and I booked a final snorkel before leaving the island, but didn't want to spend 2+ hours in a car to the north shore to see turtles. We saw this company's option to Turtle Canyon and figured we'd risk the lower cost - and we are staying in Waikiki, so it couldn't have been more convenient. Once we booked, my sister and her kids booked to join us. We saw and swam with about a dozen sea turtles, saw an octopus, and even an eagle ray! On the ride back, we spotted some dolphins (dolphins love catamarans), so that was definitely an added bonus. The experience was safe, and certainly worth the money and convenience to see ocean life! We were in the water for about 40 minutes.
The crew was wonderful and helpful.
The boat was nice and clean.
My 5 year old drank a lot of salt water during the snorkel and the crew were kind to take care of her. Overall great experience. It was magical to swim with turtles and we got a bonus with dolphins riding alongside our catamaran.
My 2 teens (15&19) went on the excursion and had a fabulous time. Krash was an awesome navigator. They saw fish and turtles.
We had a fantastic day out, the crew were friendly and helpful and made for a great experience! And we definitely saw turtles!
We went snorkeling with Kahala Kai this morning and had such a great time! Everything was really well organized, from booking to getting off the boat. Captain Karim was very welcoming, and our guide Mia was awesome! She was funny, friendly, and knew so much about the reef and turtles.
We spent about 30 minutes in the water and got to see lots of fish and sea turtles, which was definitely the highlight!
I’d recommend booking an early morning tour. The boat can take up to 30 people, but there were only 9 of us, so it felt much more relaxed and not crowded at all.
Overall, a really fun experience with a great crew. Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely wonderful afternoon. Super friendly and knowledgeable crew. The equipment provided was in excellent condition, and we saw so many turtles and fish!
Krash and Lucy were amazing! Very safe and informative. And yes we saw turtles!!! So happy we booked a snorkeling trip on this catamaran! I would definitely do it again!
Friendly and knowledgeable crew, drinks and snacks included after snorkeling. Budget friendly. 10/10 would recommend
We had an amazing experience with Oahu Catamaran! The snorkeling was incredible, and we got to see sea turtles and many different species of fish. The staff was absolutely amazing—friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire trip. They made sure we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. It was such a memorable experience, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu!
We had a great time! Lots of fish and sea turtles. Krash and Riley were excellent tour guides! Water was the perfect temperature.
Captain Crash and Riley gave us an exceptional experience from start to finish! There were many other groups out in the same area, ours was the best! Highly recommend to enhance your Hawaii vacation experience! We counted 13 turtles!
Amazing experience! Everyone was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Kareem was a great captain and Mia was amazing at guiding us, you can tell they both have a real passion for their job! Gear was clean and overall we had the best time! We will definitely be rebooking on our next time in oahu
We had a great experience! We had a large group & my 2.5 year old daughter. They were very accepting & had a vest & goggles her size. Highly recommend booking with them!
Captain Kareem and Lucy were fantastic and gave our family a wonderful experience! Our daughter got a little too scared once we got in the water, but they took her back aboard and reassured us she was good while the rest of us went out. We saw lots of turtles and had a great time. Our son was in awe of the experience.
Great boat and crew, not crowded, snacks and soft drinks provided, no alcohol which was a plus for us.
Abundant sea turtles to swim with and numerous fish. Good equipment, clean. Guide swam with us and made sure we saw plenty and everyone was comfortable.
This was amazing, captain Krash and crew provided a great experience. We had the perfect day and we saw so many turtles.
Can’t thank you enough for this beautiful experience ❤️
We had an excellent trip and the hosts were very helpful and informative. Will book again on our next trip to Oahu.
We truly had the most amazing experience! Shannon, Mia and Gary were more than helpful and made it an experience we would never forget. They were very kind and informative and we saw SO many turtles!
Krash (with a K) and Lucy were great. First time snorkeling and felt completely safe. Lucy kept our group together in the water and Krash even took care of my daughter when she got a little seasick. Definitely would do again.
Captain Crash and his crew were very personable. I am a very timid swimmer, what put me at ease was his emphasis on safety. I was able to get in the water with confidence knowing that him and his crew (Lucy and Megan) were there to guide me and the other snorkelers. We saw several sea turtles and other beautiful school of fish. When we come back, I will definitely be using Oahu Catamaran again.
Amazing. Great crew, crash, Lucy and Margaret were awesome. Saw soooo many turtles. Highly recommend
This trip was a great experience for a great price. The crew: Lucy, Shannan and Krash were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The area of turtle cove is filled with beautiful fish and sea turtles. The snorkeling was great, good equipment and resources. A free snack and drink were provided. The area was a bit crowded with other boats and tourists, but the overall experience was delightful.
Great experience, start to finish the crew were great, Mia, Tony & the Captain. Saw plenty of turtles, the reef, fish of all types. To top it off a family of dolphins as we were heading back to shore. Would definitely recommend especially for the price.
The crew was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the sea life, kept it fun interesting and entertaining! To top it they even had snacks and drinks! 🥳
Was a lot of fun and the crew was great! Would recommend and the price point was amazing! Saw turtles and lots of fish.
The crew was great! Margaret and Tony kept us on the turtles, pointed out and named interesting fish, and were wonderful conversationalists! They made my kids feel welcomed! Crash was a great captain and had some good jokes! Good times guaranteed with this crew and captain!
This should be a life requirement for everyone. Capt Krash was full of knowledge and experience. We knew and felt like we were in good hands from start to finish. Deck hand Shannon was also amazing. She guided us to experience the beauty of the Hawaiian sea turtle. Both Capt Krash and Shannon showed their passion and respect for the ocean. Truly amazing experience!
Also, invest in under water phone bag for pictures!
Amazing views!! Crew (Krash, Mia, and Riley) was so friendly and made sure we knew what to do in the water. “Turtle Guaranteed” was so true plus a great look at ocean life and environment.
