This was so much fun! Definitely book this tour! Clint & Lilah were great! They have kayaks, paddle boards & water scooter which was dope to use! Saw so many fish and turtles was definitely worth it! Can’t wait to come back & do it again. Provided life jackets and snorkel gear & snacks definitely do this!

Blue Ocean Snorkeling’s Turtle Canyon tour was the absolute highlight of our Waikiki trip. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and very safety-conscious, which made the experience relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. Seeing the turtles up close was unforgettable, and the entire trip was fun, smooth, and well-organized. Truly a memorable experience. We’re so glad we did it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waikiki.

Great first turtle snorkel tour!

Timothy_B, Jul 2026

Pickup from hotel and deliver to marina, fitted with life preservers, swim fins, snorkel, mask and lots of instructions. Stayed together as group and even had rescue boats for those not keeping up. Gather everyone back at boat for second half of paddle boat, electric water fans, or mini inflatable boats. Had hot ramen noodles after tour. Staff is beyond friendly, helpful, and patient. Saw so many turtles and fish. Great tour guys! Our tour was split have Japanese and half English, which is awesome. I will mention the Japanese boat spokesman talked a lot with an amplified speaker, like really a lot. English instructions was 5 minutes, Japanese amplified instructions with no questions was 10 minutes, WHY? I am all for mixing everyone in this world, but let’s start planning this better. Perhaps sections of boat for this language instruction. Perhaps no amplification for anyone, perhaps another Japanese boat instructor to share the load. Great tour, just more language instruction planning is needed please!

Snorkeling

Colleen_P, Jul 2026

Snorkeling was excellent! Dustin was incredibly helpful and we felt very safe. The only downside was the tour was given in multiple languages simultaneously so it felt loud on the boat most of the time.

Best day!

Denika_M, Jul 2026

We had a great time swimming with the turtles and the fish were beautiful!!! A great encounter a must do on your to so list for sure! Dustin was great and we had a blast!

My kids 10,12 and I had a wonderful experience. Dustin and Clint were wonderful and very attentive. We saw so many fish and turtles. This was my daughter’s first time snorkeling and she had a blast. I highly recommend this tour!

They were extremely...

Greg_O, Jul 2026

They were extremely friendly and willing to do anything you asked! They always asked you if you wanted pictures and took as many as you wanted. They took my daughter out to kayak and paddle board which I took great pictures of. They also sung happy birthday to my daughter without even being asked to which made the experience all the more unique and unforgettable. I’ve been in a few snorkeling expeditions but this is by far the best! Everyone on board was so kind and friendly.

We really enjoyed this...

Great Crew and Experience!

Steph_A, Jun 2026

The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Dustin was especially kind and patient when I got seasick, checking in on me throughout the trip to make sure I was okay. I'll never forget seeing the sea turtles—it was such an unforgettable experience! There were plenty of fun activities, and the crew genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time.

Family fun

Good family fun. Friendly and helpful crew. We saw lots of turtles and fish to see. We got to do stand up paddleboard, kayak and hadablast!

Catered to Asian Tourists

Wais_A, Jun 2026

Owner and operators speak Korean. They market to Korean tourists and use a microphone and loudspeaker to blast their message throughout the whole tour. If you don’t understand Korean, it can sound extremely loud and harsh. However, the crew were fantastic! They were extremely helpful and polite. We all felt very safe and treated with respect.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your feedback and for joining our tour. We appreciate your comments regarding the use of Korean during the trip. As many of our guests are Korean-speaking visitors, we occasionally provide information and safety instructions in Korean as well. However, we understand that this may have seemed loud or distracting for guests who do not speak the language. We will take your feedback into consideration as we continue improving the experience for all guests on board. We're very happy to hear that you found our crew helpful, polite, and professional. Safety and customer service are our top priorities, and we're glad you felt well cared for throughout the tour. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you aboard again in the future. Mahalo, Blue Ocean Snorkeling

Dustin and Gigi went above and beyond, such caring individuals who enjoy helping others. We truly enjoyed our experience seeing turtles and orher sea life.

Best tour ever!!!!!

Amanda_N, Apr 2026

This truly was the most amazing experience ever. Dustin and Clint were awesome tour guides and were so helpful and attentive. We got to see dolphins (which I heard is quite rare). We had turtles swim within inches of us. Just the most beautiful experience to end our trip with.

So fun!

Kyrsten_D, Apr 2026

My husband and I did this on his birthday and it was so much fun! I had never really swam in the ocean before and this was definitely the way to do it! We saw so much ocean life and the instructors/crew were helpful and kind! Highly recommend!

Close and personal with turtles

Marat_F, Apr 2026

I had a great time on this tour. More than snorkeling activities and the crew went the extra mile to make sure we got a good video and pictures of the turtle. Really close to Honolulu.
