Snorkeling with Lynne - My experience was very good mainly because Lynne took such great care of me and made me as comfortable as possible. I’m a senior citizen and hadn’t been snorkeling in quite a while. Mahalo many times over!

Awesome underwater experience - We never had never done this before so we were a bit nervous about it. Lynne explained everything in detail, helped us with our gear and showed pictures of the fish we might see. And we did see a lot of fish. It was the most amazing experience!! Lynne gave us the time we needed to get comfortable under water with the mask. Highly recommended.

Fins and Fish - We had a great time this morning snorkeling with Lynne. She came prepared and stocked with fish food😁 She was very knowledgeable about the fish and area. She took video throughout the hour and was all-around a pleasant guide. It lasts an hour and was a great value.

Fun with fish - This was a great snorkeling experience. Even beginners had an easy time of it. All the equipment was provided and the price was a bargain. We got some great pictures and saw a ton of fish. We also got to feed the fish which was fun. I would highly recommend Lynne to anyone who wants to go snorkeling in Waikiki.

The best!! - Great experience!! Lynne made sure we were all comfortable in the water and that we all got a full experience. Got to see many fish, including many of the rare ones, it really was a great day🐠☀️ Even got to see an eel and a sea cucumber. Getting a video and photos made this a full package for a very affordable price.

Snorkel Honolulu - Lynne is patient with newbies and made this a fabulous intro to snorkeling for my brother and his wife! My hubby and I (veteran snorkelers) also had a great time! Much less stress than trying to get to Haunama Bay.

Super Fun! - We had such a fun and memorable experience with our family! Lynne was an incredible host - she walked us through everything from start to finish and was extremely knowledgeable. We saw so many fish and truly enjoyed every moment. We would absolutely recommend this experience to friends and family. Special thanks to the kind lifeguards at Tower 2F for allowing us to leave our belongings nearby - it was greatly appreciated!

Lovely and fun experience at your toes - Just did this tour with Lynne this week. She made everything so easy and accessible for my family. We were first timer and didn’t know what to expect and what to do. She knows the best location, explained everything to us clearly and supportively, showed us the pictures of fishes. When she said we will see hundreds of fishes before we went in water, I couldn’t believe my ears. Indeed. We were surrounded by hundreds of them. This is such a fun experience without the hustle and expense going on a boat. The pictures and video she did for us were just sweet. Strongly recommend!
