Best experience in Waikiki! - I love this tour so much I did it three times! Each time we saw turtles! If you’re looking for tour that is relaxed, fun & safe you've gotta book this tour! I went solo twice and brought my husband the third time. The sealife was insane—we saw tons of turtles and colourful fish, and we even got lucky enough to spot some whales. On the tour one of the days the crew had spotted manta rays earlier in the day, so we looked for those for a bit too. Their passion for the ocean and teaching others is evident throughout the tour. Having Emma taking pictures (extra money, but well worth it!!) taken with the sea turtles totally made my trip! They gave us super clear instructions, so I felt totally safe the whole time. It’s the perfect mix of a professional operation and a really laid-back, fun vibe. The people here are what make it, though. The owner, Preston, is amazing. Massive thanks to Emma, Nick, Elle, and Benny for being such a great crew and keeping the energy so high! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting!

Absolutely an amazing time!!! - Such a great crew, boat and adventure! The crew was very supportive and encouraging to our 7 year old grandson who wasn't sure he wanted to snorkle. He probably wouldn't have gone in the water without them cheering him on. Wheen he got tired, they let him ride on the paddleboard with them. We will definitely be going again!
