This was an amazing trip from start to finish. From Cheryl, our driver telling us stories of Waikiki and how it all begin to the wonderful boat staff. They made sure that every little detail was taken care of. My dad who just turned 88 and had never swam let alone snorkel before had a blast and there was even a young man. I believe his name was Kaipo that towed my dad over in the water so that he was able to see a turtle!! Captain Jeremy even surprised us by letting us see not once or twice but three times humpback whales and this was just an added bonus to the spinning dolphins that we saw as well as the schools of colorful fish that we saw! I would highly recommend this tour as my sister who is 58 and I am 55 and my dad at 88 had the time of our lives!

Even though the visibility was less than ideal due to previous storms, Captain Zach, Megan and the crew did everything to make this a wonderful adventure for all and took especially good care of me when I was feeling under the weather. So did our trolley driver Cheryl. I'll just have to come back to see the turtles more clearly. The snorkeling was a great experience I hadn't had the opportunity to do for a long while. Mahalo, Ohana. Aloha!

Our guides Ryan, Kaipo, Tomomi, Jandy and Captain Mark were fantastic! Regardless of your experience, this is the adventure for you. They were helpful with this novice snorkeler and made sure I felt comfortable and safe. They took fantastic photos of me both in and out of the water. I highly recommend.

Exhilarating Turtle Expedition on a customized mono-hull boat with an amazing crew that took us to the heart of turtle canyon. It is a short shuttle ride to the marina from the Waikiki hotel district. Once in the water the guides direct you to the turtles for a premium experience. We were allowed plenty of time to explore the sea life around us. We had an additional perk watching scuba divers swim below us as we swam trough their bubbles floating to the surface. The boat ladder was easy to use to climb out of the water after our snorkeling experience. After we were all back on board the boat we headed towards Diamond Head when I spotted dolphins. Captain Zach maneuvered the boat around to follow the dolphins back towards the snorkeling area.
This is a must do experience when in Waikiki!!!

The water was beautiful and the staff were knowledgeable and amazing. However the listing said we get a lunch but there was lunch served. This would have been fine if they did not advertise as lunch. We saw some beautiful turtles. Very fun booking

Wow. Turtles dolphins even a whale. Great staff, beautiful weather- a perfect day for snorkeling. Captain Luke and crew are the Best !!!
Nicole_P, Aug 2024
The open water view of Honilulu as the boat took us out to snorkel with the turtles was amazing, as was the surprise dolphin show on the boat ride back to shore. The crew was extremely professional and fun. They gave each of us personalized attention and were very safety minded.

Charnette_P, Aug 2024
So much fun!! Was a first time snorkeler and I felt at ease with this crew. Thank you for making it feel fun and comfortable as it did.
Pam_C, Jul 2024
Great experience. We saw more than 5 turtles and so many fish. Some of the turtles swam right up from under us. It was a great experience. We had a great crew. Very sweet and helpful. Really enjoyed ourselves.
AJ_H, Jun 2024
Enjoyed the trip. Total time on boat was 2 hours about 45 minutes to an hour was in the water. The whole time we were picked up by Charol on the turtle trolly to being on the boat with Aiden, Rachel, Mark and Luke was wonderful. We had a beautiful day and saw plenty of turtles and fish. Just fair warning about the lunch is mutsuburi so if that isn't what you like just be warned.
Robin_N, Jun 2024
It was amazing we say dolphins and turtles. Our guides was awesome and funny. Loved Charol who picked us up and drove us too the boat!

Everyone was super sweet and the snorkeling itself was so much fun and a memorable experience. Definitely saw lots of turtles. We were provided with musabis which was really good and the workers made sure everyone had an enjoyable experiences. Also got a fun little turtle tattoo:). Overall, i would highly recommended to anyone even if you don’t know how to swim, it’s a beautiful scenery.

Seeing turtles… although it was a lovely hula at the end I wouldn’t call it a “show”. Lunch was really a snack, we had a big breakfast so we were fine. It was a great location and a lot of turtles to see.
Andi_K, Apr 2024
They left without us! Four people as we could not locate their slip! Once we finally found the check in point there was no one there! Then we had to find the slip ourselves. We watched the boat leave.
The tour operator nor Viator would do anything about it. I’ve booked a lot of tours through Viator but thinking this will be my last. Very disappointed we just lost $600
Linda_P, Apr 2024
Excellent Outing! Team leads seamlessly re-scked due to bad weather. Excellent comms, transportation, boat, and well trained/friendly stf. Saw several turtles and lots of fish. Would repeat - highly recommend!

This was the best experience we had on our trip!
Shellby and the other two staff were fantastic, very professional, and most of all entertaining!
There were six of us in our group, and all of us enjoyed this adventure very much and shared the same opinion of this excursion!

Crew was awesome. Very professional. Guides were on top of the best locations to see turtles. The octopus was very cool. Captain rocked it. Nice job!
Daniela_O, Jun 2023
We had a great time, captain and staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I am not a swimmer and Kaipo was super helpful, he was with me the entire time we were in the water, he pointed out the turtles and made sure I didn't miss out on anything, we also got to see dolfins it was a great experience. The food was the only thing I didn't like but everything else was excellent.

Not worth the 125 per person. The food was dry and tasteless and our crew was a couple of young girls that spent time talking about there personal stuff. Your only in the water for 45 min

Fantastic crew, Elijah, Tatiana, Ryan, and Captain Jerry. Went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Saw tons of cool fish and turtles while learning about them and the area we were in. The ride, the food, the dancing…all made for a wonderful time.
Sharon_F, Jun 2022
Awesome crew, clean boat, great cruise after snorkel. Saw amazing fish and plenty of turtles. All around great experience! Would do again!
Leila_K, Apr 2022
Great staff and service. Very nice boat. I had a blast. We saw 8 turtles over one reef at one point. A giant Manta Ray swam under our group too. That was amazing. The crew danced hula at the end. Nice trip that I would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Aloha Leila,
