Had a wonderful experience on this trip. Mira and Captain Matt were excellent guides. The boat was clean and not overcrowded - the small group made the trip feel more personal. Water and snacks were available. Amazing fish, turtles, and dolphins.

Excellent kayak experience

Tracey_S, Apr 2024

Great experience! We were lucky enough to see crocodiles, howler monkeys, lots of birds and fish. Pablo worked hard to make sure we had a good time! Definitely recommend!!

Not worth $$

Dorothy_G, Apr 2024

Not much. Thought we would see more turtles and other fish The snorkeling equipment was sub par at least. Made for a bad experience

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We are truly sorry you didn't enjoy our tour as much as most people. Makaha Caverns is generally considered one of the best sites on the island for turtle sightings and lava tubes and Scubapro Go Fins are also top of the line equipment. Let us know if you want to try again, we'd be happy to provide a discount.

Great Experience for Snorkeling!!

Jennifer_M, Jul 2023

Had a great time snorkeling. Aaron was awesome!! I had my son with me and he did a great job finding turtles and making sure my little one was comfortable and having a great time! Highly recommend!!!

Not this time!

Cindy_D, Jul 2023

We went out on the water, and due to the weather there was no visibility. They ended up canceling. We were so sad, this was one thing I was really looking forward too while in Hawaii! They did refund us, much appreciated that!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Well, I hope any operator that you encounter will refund you after a cancellation! We don't like to cancel due to the weather either, you don't get your tour and we don't get to do what we do for a living! Can we have another star for giving your money back?

Great experience

Amaal_B, Jun 2023

Our tour guide, Aron was phenomenal! My husband is a novice swimmer and he was extremely patient! He shared facts throughout the trip and even helped us get some great photos/videos of the turtle. The captain was experienced and made sure everyone on board was safe!

Amazing snorkeling experience

Amilcar_M, May 2023

Snorkeling with Aaron and Captain Jeff was one of the best experiences I've had while in Oahu. They were professional, valued safety and were knowledgeable in all the areas with turtles. Would easily go out to sea with them again!

Amazing turtle experience!

Thomas_K, Apr 2023

Saw many different types of fish, multiple turtles, and even two sharks! A very cool experience and the guides were very helpful in finding the sea life for you to see.

Turtles!

Julie_C, Feb 2023

Had so much fun snorkeling with turtles! The boat was really large and had plenty of room for seating. The views on the way were breathtaking and it was such a treat to see several turtles around us. Melissa and Kirk did a good job of ensuring our safety and pointing out where the turtles and other creatures (saw an eel and lots of fishes) were. I got tons of pictures with an underwater disposable camera and Melissa offered to dive a bit to get a really good shot. Can't wait to see how they turned out!

Kwon_K, Aug 2022

We had a great time! All the staff were friendly and fantastic. It was a smaller group and we were basically the only one out there so we got all the sea turtles to ourselves. Will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family.

Exciting trip to see turtles and fish

TERRI_C, Jul 2022

We sailed inside the Maunalua Bay, I went with my 3 kids and it was an exhilarating experience. We were equipped with yellow inflatable vest and snorkel equipment. Once I got comfortable in the water I deflated my vest, I also wore a wet suit for more warmth and buoyancy. 13 and 16 year old went out with Kirk to the turtles immediately, a little bit away from the boat (hold on tight to the surf board handle and relax your body so you can be towed to the turtle area). 16 year got knocked off her grip on the surf board and swam the rest of the way, she also had a snorkel malfunction and had to get a replacement. The water bounced us up and down which made it a bit unnerving for my 10 year old, so he sat on the boat ledge and watched from above. There were a group of tropical fish right at the boat. The turtles were so lovely to watch and we got lucky by a turtle that came up right under us as we were heading back to the boat. Captain and diver Kirk were both great!

Wonderful

Courtney_G, Jul 2022

Amazing see a lot of turtles crew was awesome almost kissed a turtle crew gave us ideas for places to eat very friendly and welcoming

Hands down the best excursion !

Ryan_J, Jul 2022

Absolutely amazing ! They guaranteed turtles and we got a whole school of them & they came right up to us! The crew was phenomenal and would do it everyday! Thank you for making this such a memorable trip!

Great sea turtle experience

Andrew_D, Jul 2022

Great experience! We got to see the green sea turtles! Several surfaced along with one that hung out in the sand at the bottom of the ocean. One of the ship’s crew took a video of the turtle near the bottom with my camera and it was amazing!

Take 2

Courtney_G, Jul 2022

It was very nice got to see turtles but if you have a smaller child like my son he is 7 and can’t swim good I recommend keeping them at home cause we couldn’t leave the boat so didn’t get to see what the rest of the boat got to see but definitely doing it again without children this time and crew was very friendly and funny

It was a great...

Baljinder_R, Jul 2022

It was a great experience. Kirk and Doug were excellent instructors. We were able to see many turtles while in the water.
