What are people saying about Ko Olina

Well worth it
Ko’Olina is beautiful and our trip was memorable. We had a great captain and crew who made sure we were safe and had fun. The tropical fish were amazing and we even saw a sea turtle before he drifted back to his cave to nap.

Amazing!
We had a great time on our excursion! Every member of the crew was fun and engaging, and made it a great time. They all got in the water with us, and guided from alongside us. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, a monk seal, an octopus, and so many stunning fish. Will definitely use them again!

Great half day cruise & snorkel!
Really a terrific way to spend a morning in Oahu/Ko'olina! The very friendly crew worked together seamlessly to guide us on a safe, fun, peaceful cruise and snorkel while providing attentive care of each passenger even circling back 2x to retrieve ball caps that blew off of guests! Snorkling with the fish 'swarming' around us was amazing!

Fun times!
The crew made our outing spectacular! We had an awesome time. The turkey sandwich and specialty drink, the Blue Mermaid, were really good. I'd highly recommend this voyage.
