5.00Wow what an incredible experience! Captain Crash, Shannon, Lucy and Sushi made this experience so memorable. They work incredibly hard to make it a great experience for all while ensuring safety measures are being taken. They truly take great care of you. We took our 5 year old and Shannon was able to help us keep her safe and composed when she felt afraid in the water. Do yourself a favor and book this experience ASAP!

Best experience for our 2026 O’ahu Family trip!

5.00This was hands down the best part of our entire family trip to Oahu. It was our family’s first time to Hawaii and I’m so glad we were able to book this on a whim. Captain Krash, Margaret, and Lucy were fantastic hosts and we would absolutely do this again when we come back for another visit. The boat was in great condition, the quick ocean ride out to the turtle cove was wonderful, and co-captain Sushi made for an entertaining ride! We cannot recommend this experience enough! You will not be disappointed!
Excellent Turtle Swim Excursion

5.00We had a great few hours on this turtle swimming excursion. Crash is clearly a very experienced operator, and both he and his crew were thorough with safety from start to finish. They genuinely wanted everyone to have the best possible experience and made a real effort to help us see turtles and other marine life during the trip. All the equipment was provided, including masks, snorkels and fins, and they also supplied water and snacks, which was a nice touch. The turtle watching area itself can get a little crowded at times as there are a lot of tour operators. Overall, it was excellent value for money and a very enjoyable experience. I would happily recommend it to anyone wanting to snorkel with turtles.
