5.00Captain Carlos and Shannon were amazing. We saw SO many sea turtles. The ride out/back was smooth. We learned all about the reef from Shannon and I would highly recommend having them guide your snorkeling Oahu experience.
Great fun for all ages

5.00A very nice experience! Crash and his partner were amazing! I would suggest going on a calm beautiful day, we went on a windy day so you could get seasick easily! But other than that amazing 10/10 recommend! He also provides drink and snacks! Has a lovely dog on board!
Great experience

5.00Very good, no frills boat out to turtle canyon. We got to see a monk seal and humpback whales in the water on the way there, we got to the canyon and hooked up quickly and got everyone into the water as soon as safely possible. Lucy did a great job of corralling us all, without forcing us all to stay in a big clump, and making sure that we got to make the most out of our time in the water. I saw several turtles in the water, as well as many different types of fish. The crew is both competent and fun loving, and it was great to have the captain's pet dog sailing with us. With only 25 other passengers the boat did not seem over crowded and there was enough food and drinks for everyone. It was an amazing experience and a great value!
Amazing tour!! A must!
