Excellent small group snorkel experience with a fantastic crew. - Fantastic small group snorkel tour. Adriana and Kelsey did a fantastic job taking us to a perfect spot to see turtles and lots of amazing fish. With only 4 people in our group, we snorkeled away from the large groups and saw several turtles and hundreds of beautiful fish. Kelsey also dove to the bottom to retrieve a sea urchin and baby octopus to show us. Of course they were returned safely. The ship was very comfortable with bean bag lounge chairs and drinks. It was a great morning with great sightings and a terrific experienced crew.

Keanuenue for Two! - Small group is the way to go! We ended up being the only two in the group in the early morning. Big groups came near the end and we knew we had made the right choice. Everything I had dreamed of swimming with turtles and then some! The guys taught us some extra skills, saw a huge eel, held an urchin, found an octopus, followed a pod of dolphins and got to know all the different types of fish. You could tell they loved and lived it, they even cleaned up some elements that didn’t belong which I really appreciated. Best part of the trip!! Mahalo to Sam, Mossy and Jack

So Many Turtles! - I have waited to see sea turtles in their natural habitat for all of my life and it finally happened. I went on two other tours to see turtles while in Waikīkī and saw zero. This is a great experience, the guides were friendly and amazing as they put us right in the middle of them. The boat was nice, equipment was clean. A giant plus was the small group of six! Don’t hesitate if you want to see sea turtles!

Loved it! Turtles galore and a nice small group! - What a fantastic trip! Captain Sam and First Mate / Snorkel Lead Ella were amazing. So friendly and funny and very safe and conscientious with passengers and wildlife! It was really enjoyable doing the small group tour. And the bean bag seats… game changer! Loved it all and highly recommend!!

Small Group Snorkel Incredible - Quality from start to finish. Major attention to detail for each guest, crew was five stars- knowledgeable, kind, and interactive. Kept our small group moving every 10 minutes to keep the sights changing and very fun to listen to.
Water, juices and soda available on board. Clean, safe catamaran, great music, plenty room.

So much fun! - This snorkel trip was amazing! Sam and Hailey were very nice, informative and welcoming. It was so nice to do a small group trip rather than with a big group of people, which made it feel more intimate. We saw tons of turtles and swam with plenty of other fish. The length of the trip was perfect and we didn’t get bored. It’s about 20 minutes or less out to Turtle Canyon from the pier. We had a great time!

10/10 would recommend! - The whole experience was chilled, nice, and very relaxing! The crew of the boat were super nice and friendly, very very helpful too. Saw a few turtles, although we wanted to see more, but we were just unlucky I guess. Whole experience was a blast and definitely would recommend any newcomers!

Would definitely suggest this to anyone!! - The tour was fantastic. We got to see several turtles. We also were even lucky enough to see spinner dolphins and a monk seal. Sam and Maci were great host. Sam's dad jokes kept all of us laughing and Maci did a great job of making sure we saw the turtles while in the water.
