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.

Amazing experience! We saw so many beautiful fish and turtles of all sizes. The guides were incredibly fun and made the whole trip even better. I highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Hawaii! 🐢🤙🏼

Our snorkeling experience was absolutely fantastic! The hosts, instructors and captain were helpful in every aspect from guiding us on and off the boat, in and out of the water and simply just making the experience as comfortable as possible! I would do this tour again and definitely recommend it to friends and family!

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, my wife became seasick, and the staff helped me with my three children. This meant a great deal to me.
We were able to see many turtles. All the tours go to the same area, so it can get a little congested. Overall, this was a wonderful experience. My kids also liked the canoe, standing board, and other water toys.
Marissa_M, Jul 2026
Best snorkel experience seeing lots of turtles with lots of cool additional like sea scooters, paddle board, canoe, and snacks and beverages! Crew was amazing as well and handled any/ all issues amazingly! Shout out to Dustin, TJ, Noah, and the Boat Captain!
Robert_A, Jul 2026
We had an amazing time! The team was incredibly accommodating and friendly.its a must do on the Island.

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 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.
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!
Kayla_S, Jul 2026

Kelly_W, Jul 2026
What an incredible experience! Our guides (Dustin and Clint) were amazing. We saw so many turtles, an eagle ray, and a shark! Highly recommend!!
Bindi_P, Jul 2026
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!
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.
James_S, Jul 2026
We really enjoyed this snorkeling trip with Dustin, Noah and Ronin. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves ... and remained aafe.

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. Every minute was worth it. Highly recommend!

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!
Elizabeth_C, Jun 2026
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!
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.

Charles_P, May 2026
Dustin and Clint were amazing. Lots of communication before the trip started. They visited with everyone a lot and were extremely nice. Made sure the whole trip saw lots of turtles, fish and dolphins on the trip. Very knowledgeable about the trip, the island, the boat. Would definitely go again.
Anna_G, May 2026
Don’t even look at another service just book these guys immediately we’ve done four of these types of excursions in Hawaii and this is the best one by Far!! Our host Dustin was incredible, but all of the crew was phenomenal as well. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again. not only do you get to snorkel with the turtles you also get to kayak paddleboard and use this fun little thing that propels you around the water, it was really an incredible experience for my whole family. There were six of us total.
