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

These guys are amazing, you not only felt safe on the boat but felt like a family on there. The jokes and the history they shared were so awesome. We did two snorkel tours and a sunset tour with them and can’t thank them enough for the great trips they brought us on. I highly recommend them! Shannon, Lucy, Captain Krash, sushi, and there was one more girl I can’t remember her name but thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, mahalo!

Amazing experience!! Shannon is such a great instructor. You’ll see turtles, colourful fish and the reef. It’s a must-do in Hawaii.
Payton_J, Apr 2026
This was a great experience! We got to see not only turtles, but an eel, octopus and a bunch of cockerel fish! Awesome time :)
Shea_A, Apr 2026
The crew was awesome! Came across a whole turtle living room. They gave us ice cold water and beverages before, and snacks and more beverages after. Great instructions for beginners. Highly recommend

Holly and Margret were so amazing with my kids! They took my 1 year old on the surfboard and made my kids first time snorkeling the best experience. My 6 year old son said there were too many fish haha! My 4 year old was so excited to see dolphins and loved seeing all the fish and turtles! We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this crew to anyone!
Kelsey_E, Apr 2026
So much fun! Clean boat, drinks & snacks, & very knowledgeable! We saw Manta Rays, Turtles & lots of fish.
Cindy_A, Apr 2026
Fun filled trip to Turtle canyon and getting to see sea turtles up close. Lots of fish to see too. Capt Crash and his crew (Joe and Shannon) kept an eye on all the snorkelers making sure we were ok and fixing any issues with our equipment. We had so much fun we joined another cruise that evening for the sunset and the fireworks. Great time .
Adrian_R, Apr 2026
We had the best experience!! Would definitely do it again! My littles absolutely loved Joe... We were able to enjoy snorkeling, while Joe swam them around on a surfboard while feeding fish.. captain Karem also pulled alongside some dolphins which made the trip even more exciting. it was literally the highlight of their trip. By the way Joe, Willow and Wyatt say hello!
Anastasia_O, Apr 2026
The crew was great! But not enough sizes for equipment not enough seating too many people and in the location there were 2 more groups. Will be cool if you could choose other times when there are not so many people to not conflict the schedule.
Monica_H, Apr 2026
Krash and his team were amazing! Super helpful, fun, and informative. We felt super safe with them as well with it being our first time snorkeling. Highly recommend!!!
Shelley_C, Apr 2026
The boat crew was very helpful in making sure you were comfortable in the water , regardless of your water skill level. They were great in spotting the turtles so that we all had a chance to notice them.
Catherine_L, Apr 2026
The crew was great, explained everything in detail. We were fortunate to see quite a few turtles.
Their website says books 1/2 capacity for comfort, not sure what the actual capacity is but there were people standing as they didn’t have a seat. So was that 1/2 capacity??
Courtney_H, Apr 2026
Great experience. Kid friendly. Bring a towel and change of clothes after if its a cooler day. Great staff.
Brian_K, Apr 2026
Awesome adventure for the kids and adults. The fish were so close you could almost touch them, the turtles are fun when they come up to say hello, and to top it off we got to watch a mom and baby humpback on the way in.
Ricky_S, Apr 2026
This was such an amazing experience for my son and I! It was so easy to find the boat to start with. Then the crew did a really amazing job quickly getting everyone ready to snorkel while explaining the rules and such. The snorkel spot wasn’t too far away, so we didn’t spend a ton of time on the boat and as soon as we got to the snorkel spot, we were basically in the water almost immediately. The crew helped guide us to the best place to see turtles and we saw them almost immediately. We ended up camping over seven turtles and watched them swim up and down to get air and then go back down to the bottom of the ocean. We also saw one of the biggest puffer fishes I have ever seen as well as a huge needle fish so while the turtles are the main draw, there are a lot of other things to see. I would highly recommend this tour to any and everyone!
Louis_B, Apr 2026
Great ship and crew. They took care of us well and we did see turtles and a lot of fish. I would recommend this tour company
Crystal_W, Apr 2026
This was our first time snorkeling and actually the first time on the ocean in a boat. We had an amazing time, was able to be up close ans personal with a turtle, and a bunch of fish that kept following me and my husband around while we swam. Best experience I've had yet!!
Javier_G, Apr 2026
This was a blast. The vessel is smaller than the ones you see on Waikiki, so it made us wonder about the smoothness of the ride. We had no issues getting to the turtle cove. The crew was awesome, very focus on safety. The captain was very through on his briefing and on the cove the crew was always there with the swimmers. We saw a lot of turtles, they the captain chased a dolphin pod and the cherry, we saw whales. Very recommended.
Meriah_P, Apr 2026
Shannon, Lucy, and Kareem were awesome! We saw a turtle and monk seal right away from the boat which was awesome. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and understood how to use the equipment before getting in. They even had prescription inserts for the goggles which was great as I was worried I wouldn’t be able to see well. 10/10 and the snacks and juice were great after snorkeling :)
Hayden_M, Apr 2026
Weather conditions meant that the tour was changed from snorkeling to wildlife tour but had a great time seeing lots of dolphin. Crash, Sushi, Shannon and George were all great.
Amanda_L, Apr 2026
Crew was fun and helped out a lot! Got to see my favorite animal ever about 6 green turtles. They took us to a spot with lots of wildlife. Cloudy water but still got to see a lot.
April_G, Apr 2026
best deal out there! you snorkel for about an hour at turtle canyon, where all the other snorkel tours in waikiki take you. so many turtles, fish & reef sharks. they provide snacks and drinks for the cruise back. employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I took a snorkel trip with this company last year and chose to book w them again
Heidi_G, Apr 2026
We had a fantastic time! Captain Krash and his crew Margaret and Lucy were awesome. Super helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Oahu Catamaran
Matthew_N, Apr 2026
We had a great time. Saw what we came to see and were well taken care of. Highly recommended! Thank you.
Lisa_E, Apr 2026
So due to the flooding there were advisories all around Oahu for sewage water. Where we went had clouds of it. It was not sediment. Crew was not diving through it looking for turtles. Saw 1 adult turtle on the surface and a baby turtle twice on the surface. Disgusting. Been on this catamaran before and it was great. Can't recommend anymore though.
Amy_S, Mar 2026
Staff was great! The boat was very nice. We did see a few turtles and lots of fish. The water was not as clear as I would have liked but still a great experience l.
Barbara_F, Mar 2026
I live here and this was awesome!! Best part was having Sushi on board and he would bark whenever turtles or dolphins were around. Captain Crash, Eliza and Shannon were great! Upbeat, friendly, and made it an incredible experience! I’m so glad I picked this one out of the rest. We even got to see dolphins super up close!
Julia_C, Mar 2026
The captain and crew were super helpful and knowledgeable. We saw lots of fish and turtles. So much fun!
Henry_G, Mar 2026
It was way too crowded at turtle sighting area. At least 8 other boats and scores of swimmers. The crew was kind and helpful but the captain was a bit crusty.
Aimee_K, Mar 2026
Crash, Joe, George, and sushi are wonderful they made the trip great. Pointed out wildlife and best places to look. Would recommend for anyone looking for a great time.
