Excellent Experience - BYOS (Bring Your Own Snorkel)
Erin_G, Jul 2021
Great boat, crew, and swim experience. Just a note that snorkels are **NOT** included -- It wasn't noted in the description at the time of our purchase. We still would have went with this vendor and activity; however, we would have purchased snorkels for the kids to use. The sea turtles were active and swam to the surface about 8 times during our swim time. So, we still got to see them. Boat is nice -- the ladder in and out of the water was easy to navigate. Made it easy for us larger folks to get in and out.
Marginal adventure
Gary_V, Jul 2021
Good crew, boat ride was awesome, but the swim spot was very poor. Too many other boats, too big waves, poor visibility.
Must do experience while at Oahu.
Badie_J, Jul 2021
Great staff. Super friendly. Very enjoyable experience. The music was awesome. Saw several turtles. Bring your own snorkel gear, it's very affordable at the ABC store. They provide life vests and drinking water. The view of the ocean and the island was amazing on the way back.
didn’t go on
Angelica_L, Jul 2021
waited to board and the captain never showed up. my kids and i were looking forward to this. they did provide refund
Disappointed
Mindy_D, Jul 2021
We booked this excursion with the understanding that it would be for 10-15 people on the boat. We showed up at the pier and there were 47 people waiting to get on this small boat. The boat looked like it would comfortably fit 20. Then, our captain never showed up. We stood for 50 min. in the hot sun and finally gave up. We thankfully were able to get a refund.
Only book if your willing to gamble with your time and money
Erica_S, Jul 2021
It was ok, unfortunately we were not able to snorkel. Snorkeling was the reason we booked this adventure. He told us this while we were about to board. He told us we could get a refund but most of us had already paid for an Uber or Lyft to get there. We asked if we could get a parcel refund since we would only be experiencing half of what we paid for and he said no (all or nothing). I have to say we were disappointed
Awesome trip - definitely would do it again
Dana, Jul 2021
We loved the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Swimming in the crystal clear blue ocean was awesome! The crew were so nice!
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Cheap and fun
Todd_W, Jul 2021
super simple. boat out, swim, boat back. Cheap way to get out of the hotel. Swam with turtles, and tons of fish.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
It sounds like a fantastic and straightforward experience to enjoy the beauty of the ocean - heading out on a boat, swimming, and returning, offering a convenient and affordable way to explore beyond the hotel. Swimming with turtles and seeing numerous fish must have been an incredible experience, adding a memorable touch to your getaway. I'm thrilled to hear that you had a great time, connecting with nature in such a special way. Here's to more adventures and unforgettable moments in the future!
Swim n sail Honolulu Hawaii
Maria_L, Jul 2021

A must try with turtles & sailing
EuK, Jul 2021
Experience started on time and captains were very friendly - asked if we needed any drinks, to take pictures, and other ways to help make the ride more comfortable and fun. My waterproof bag went overboard and they were so nice about it - they turned the boat around to grab it out of the water. So worth to be able to swim (they provide floatie/life jackets also) or snorkel (brought own gear) and then sail afterwards - highly recommend! Saw several turtles as well. Spacious on board and good for all types of groups/couples.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
It's wonderful to hear about the exceptional service and attentiveness of the captains during your sailing experience. The friendly gesture of offering drinks, assistance with taking pictures, and ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable ride truly enhanced the trip. The crew's kindness in retrieving your waterproof bag when it went overboard demonstrates their commitment to customer satisfaction. The ability to swim with provided floaties or life jackets, snorkel with your gear, and then sail in a spacious environment suitable for various groups and couples sounds like a perfect day out on the water. Seeing several turtles must have been an incredible added bonus to an already fantastic outing. Thank you for sharing your positive recommendation, and here's to future adventures filled with such memorable moments!
Excellent! Highly recommend
Candy_H, Jul 2021
Excellent trip! Absolutely beautiful view of Honolulu, Waikiki & Diamondhead!! Excellent swim too! (It would be good for customers to remember their trash not going overboard. Need to preserve the beautiful things we All enjoy!) It was a wonderful experience!! Mahalo!
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great memories
Shannon_O, Jul 2021
Would totally recommend. Crew were very friendly. Even got to see a whale, some turtles and a few fish. If you want to snorkel I’d recommend bringing your own snorkel. Would definitely book with them again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
