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.

Such an amazing experience! The entire crew was incredibly helpful, kind, and made the day so much fun from start to finish. We got to snorkel, enjoy different water activities, and also just relax on the boat with snacks and great vibes. Everything felt well-organized but still laid-back, and the staff truly made the experience special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free day on the water!

We had a wonderful time on our snorkeling with turtle tour with blue ocean! The snorkeling itself was amazing, we saw turtle multiple times and groups of fish. We rented GoPro with them. The guides helped us capture great photos and even underwater videos. Our tour guide Dustin and all others were super helpful and attentive from start to finish. They checked on us frequently—both on board and in the water. We felt very safe especially when travel with a kid. Highly recommended

This tour was so great. Pickup from our hotel was seamless, the crew were friendly and lively. They brought us to a great spot to snorkel where we saw an abundance for fish & sea turtles! We had a lot of time in the water & the complimentary snacks and drinks were a great addition. Thanks for a wonderful excursion!

Took my family with teenage kids on this charter. Really amazing experience. Lots of turtles, lots of fish, saw dolphins on the way back and had tons of fun with the powered snorkel. Crew was top notch. Shout out to Dustin, Vivian, Joe and captain Nate for the great service.

The captain and he crew did an amazing job was able to see a ton for sea life and of course sea turtles were the main event. The environment and energy was so welcoming and warm. Great experience definitely recommend.

I thought the whole crew did an amazing job. They were detailed oriented and had safety in mind first which was great for this trip as we were on our honeymoon. Dustan Brewer happened to be a crew member who just so happened to go to school at Blue Springs south which I worked at back in Kansas City. He did a great job at communicating with us throughout our trip. Thank you!

The staff here does a fantastic job. Professional yet laid back, turtles guaranteed, water sports are a blast and plenty of refreshments on board.

The crew that took us out on the Catamaran was AMAZING! Very knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Took lots of pictures for us and made sure we had an opportunity to explore the water in many different ways- jumping off the boat, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, sea scooters, etc! Highly recommend
Joy_S, Apr 2025
Hands down worth the best crew!! Dustin and Joe are now my boys idols as we made the most incredible memories. Would recommend to EVERYONE!
Vivian_H, Apr 2025
Our party had an amazing time. The staff really made this trip. Some of us did not know how to swim and they encouraged us and comforted us the whole way while we were snorkeling. When they saw us become seasick, the captain brought us ginger chews and water. We could not have had a better team. Shout out to captain Frank, Oliver, and Dustin! Thank you guys so much!
Shannan_M, Mar 2025
Great time!! Dustin was very helpful and took my GoPro down to the turtles for great shots!!!!🐢🤙🏻
Natalie_R, Mar 2025
Well-organized, friendly, and great value! We saw lots of turtles, and we were fortunate to see a whale as well.
Kevin_H, Mar 2025
Dustin and rest of team are really awesome. Really enjoyed the value and experience. The only constructive feedback is for the captain to keep the shouting down a bit and so it can be more relaxing. We came in didn't know what to expect since we had not so great "whale watching" experiences elsewhere. But this one is a great experience and well worth it.
Kelly_L, Mar 2025
We saw turtles, dolphin, and tons of amazing fish. The crew and captain were phenomenal…taking the time to point things out, let kids pick songs, and generally made the experience 10 out of 10! I would highly recommend this experience! Dustin, Brad & Captain Nate were the best!! They made our trip a fantastic experience for all of us.
Salina_F, Mar 2025
We had a blast! The crew was so kind and accommodating. We saw a ton of turtles and we had some additional time for water sports after snorkeling. The crew stayed in the water with us the whole time and checked on us constantly offering help or assistance. The water was super choppy (Tis the season) but they made everything a breeze. The crew took photos for us both on and off the boat and even took our underwater cameras as they dove to the bottom to get a closer look at these beautiful creatures. Huge shout out to Dustin! The next time I’m on the island I will absolutely be booking with them! 10/10 would recommend! These Alaskan girls are so happy!
Wendy_P, Mar 2025
There was a lot of Korean passengers, but the crew was very attentive to the American passengers. The day we went the sea was quite rough. The captain kept an eye on people that got motion sickness. He gave some chews that helped with the motion sickness. The crew on the ship all spoke English. The crew took pictures for all the Passengers. The whole crew was wonderful! I got to talk to a lot of them! Dustin was awesome! I recommend this tour.
Laurie_M, Jan 2025
Gary and Justin were awesome. They were very patient with working with us and explaining everything! They visited with us during all of the tour. We started late, but the company gave us extra time and we even got to sail some on the way back. We got to see fish and turtles. We definitely encourage everyone to go on this adventure! We would do it again!!!
Adrian_E, Dec 2024
The crew (especially Justin) was amazing and overall a really cool experience. However, the Captain’s constant yelling and loud chatter, to the Koreans on board, really distracted from the entire experience. The turtles overall were amazing!
Lowell_L, Dec 2024
Great crew, and very fun. Saw Dolphins, turtles, tropical fish. Relaxing as well. highly recommend this!
Prathima_A, Dec 2024
It was a great experience . The staff were very very friendly and encourage every one to explore water , turtles , corals and fishes . It’s worth every penny . Make sure to apply lots of sunscreen and protect the phone if u decide to take it under water for pictures
AnaMaria_O, Nov 2024
Great experience! Dustin was incredibly knowledgeable and good at his job. We felt safe at all times. He made sure we saw the turtles and taught us well how to react to them and not to touch them. Highly recommend!
