5.00My friend was visiting and we were looking for an affordable and fun snorkeling experience, and that is exactly what we got! Captain Crash and Holly were fun, knowledgable, and so kind. The tour was 2 hours long, and our group had 14 people in it. We saw so many fish and turtles, and had a great time chilling on the boat enjoying snacks and drinks afterwards. Thank you Crash, Holly, and Sushi!
Fun Experience!

5.00We both had a fabulous time on our catamaran snorkeling trip this morning. Karim and Margaret were very welcoming and we felt safe in their expert hands at all times, both on board the vessel and in the water. We saw loads of beautiful tropical fish and several turtles! I would like to highly recommend this trip as great value for money and a MUST SEE excursion when you're visiting Honolulu!

3.00Felt like the Captain and crew didn't want to be there. The boat and snorkeling gear was good. We got to see turtles which was amazing. However, Turtle Canyon was pretty crowded with other tour boats out there also. For the price, can't really complain as it was more affordable than others.
Great time

Snorkeling with the turtles

5.00We had a memorable experience at Turtle Canyon, close to the bay, swimming and snorkeling amongst the exotic fish and turtles. A group of turtles were down below and we also saw some on the surface. The girls were were very helpful and encouraging to those less confident swimmers and floatation devices were available. Sushi, the dog, was also an unusual companion!
