Best tour in Oahu - To say we had the best time would be an understatement. By far this has been the most wonderful snorkeling experience compared to trips we’ve had in Mexico, Asia and the mainland. Captain Crystal was so awesome. She was a wealth of knowledge and a great tour guide. We saw lots of sea turtles in the water and underwater. The private pontoon tour was awesome!!! We have already started telling people we randomly meet how awesome it was to go on your tour. These Arkansans will definitely book one again when we get back.

Amazing Views & Crew - Where do I even begin? The views, the activities, the reef, THE CREW! It was a really fun experience. I was on a solo trip to Oahu and was a little nervous going on my own. The crew - Captain Robin, Casey, and Yuka- made me feel super comfortable and made the tour a lot of fun. I do not know how to swim and Casey made sure that I felt comfortable and took me around the snorkeling portion where we saw so many fish and turtles! Highly recommend you all do this!

Safe and Fun!! - My 12 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time on this excursion. The crew were super helpful and friendly. The shallow sandbar allowed for easy water activities. The coral reef on the edge of the sandbar proved to be the ideal hang out for many sea turtles and colorful fish!
