Must do!!! - If you’re visiting Oahu, you absolutely MUST do this tour! The staff is incredible and takes such great care of you. We were fortunate enough to have Ella, Kyle, Hailey, and Lila and every single one of them was so kind to my kids and I, and so patient with us as this was our first time snorkeling. I know there are a lot of companies to go on excursions with but you will not find a company as friendly and down to earth as these guys! As far as the sights go, from the moment you hop in the water, you’re surrounded by fish, incredible views, and of course, turtles!! You’re guaranteed to have a great time!

A beautiful experience - The moment we all got in the water, we looked down and saw 5 sea turtles hanging out at a big rock probably 35 feet under but there were a lot of them, they would come up to the surface and get air and go back down, I’m so glad I brought my camera I got some amazing pictures and videos, but they are such majestic animals the next time I visit Honolulu I will definitely be going on this snorkeling trip again!

Must book!! Awesome experience! - This is a must-book if you’re looking for a great snorkeling experience with the turtles. Location was great— saw at least 8 turtles up close and tons of fish! Ella was amazing— our 7 year old was a bit timid and she took her out to the turtles so she could experience it all first-hand in the easiest way. Our 11 year old is a good swimmer and made it through with the “first group” with little issue. They offer life jackets for the kids and they give you all needed gear. They even had snacks for when you finish. Cannot say enough about how great this was. 15-minutes out and back, so you get well over an hour in the water. Awesome experience!!
