Snorkeling - I had an incredible three-hour snorkeling experience at Turtle Reef and a nearby coral reef. I saw numerous colorful fish up close and encountered many sea turtles. The Dive Oahu team was outstanding, providing all the necessary snorkeling equipment and clear instructions. Heather, my snorkeling guide, was attentive and accommodating, ensuring that clients unfamiliar with the ocean felt comfortable and well-guided throughout the experience. Don't eat anything prior to snorkeling. You might get sea sick.

AMAZING time, great experience! - Nacho, Matt, Colton, and Heather were the besttttttttt! We had an awesome experience thanks to them and got to see baby dolphins, turtles, and tons of fish in the reefs :) They created a fun atmosphere and let us explore at our own pace but made sure we got to see everything we wanted! Absolutely would recommend it and would go back again.

Not for Snorkelers – Disappointing Experience Across the Board - If you’re looking for a snorkeling adventure, look elsewhere. This company should be upfront that their focus is on SCUBA diving, not snorkeling. I booked this expecting a fun, scenic, in-water experience — and it fell far short in every category. TLDR: Skip this tour. Choose a company with better locations, cleaner boats, and more thoughtful planning. Key Issues: 1. Poor Planning & Disrespect for Time You’re asked to arrive 30 minutes early, only to wait by a foul-smelling dumpster for 45 minutes. The tour started 15 minutes late. My time matters too — this was avoidable and inconsiderate. 2. Boat Conditions Not filthy, but not clean either. The persistent mildew smell likely comes from damp gear. Not exactly setting the tone for an enjoyable trip. 3. Misleading Location Description They advertised “Turtle Cove”, but took us to a generic area just 3 miles off the harbor, surrounded by dozens of other boats. It was overcrowded chaos. • I was kicked multiple times by others in the water. • The view? Waikiki hotels — same as the shoreline. • Water was murky and full of boat traffic, which likely impacts visibility and wildlife. 4. Second Location - Still a Bust Yes, it was more isolated. But I saw maybe 20 fish before giving up after 15 minutes. Even the SCUBA divers didn’t stay long — that says a lot. 5. Weak Atmosphere No music. No ambiance. The “snacks” were cheap granola bars and gummy packs — not even decent brands. 6. Staff - Mixed Bag Overall, just OK. Not particularly friendly or engaging. Maia was the one standout — she deserves to work somewhere better Final Word: Don’t waste your money. This tour is misrepresented and underdelivers. If you’re serious about snorkeling or even just hoping for a memorable time on the water, book with another company.

Horrible Experience - Paid trip advisor, they called wanted more money $20 per person even though our ticket said snorkel!!!! 3 hour trip was 1:40 minutes left 45 minutes late came back 40 minutes early! Only 4 people on the boat and the water was soooooo rough !!first spot-was so crowded hard to see anything and water visibility terrible! Second spot had no fish or turtles sand bar , no reef! Called and asked for a 50% refund as they cut the 3 hour tour short they said no! Not reputable or customer focused
