5.00We had a great time. Saw what we came to see and were well taken care of. Highly recommended! Thank you.
Good crew, but more crowded than we would have liked. Probably just a product of being in Honolulu

4.00The crew was good and the boat was nice. It was just as good as any other tour provider would have been here. It wasn’t exactly what we expected as we were in a very crowded group in the water and there were at least 4 other large groups on the same reef. We did see 2 turtles.
Beware

1.00So due to the flooding there were advisories all around Oahu for sewage water. Where we went had clouds of it. It was not sediment. Crew was not diving through it looking for turtles. Saw 1 adult turtle on the surface and a baby turtle twice on the surface. Disgusting. Been on this catamaran before and it was great. Can't recommend anymore though.

5.00I live here and this was awesome!! Best part was having Sushi on board and he would bark whenever turtles or dolphins were around. Captain Crash, Eliza and Shannon were great! Upbeat, friendly, and made it an incredible experience! I’m so glad I picked this one out of the rest. We even got to see dolphins super up close!
Definitely do this If you are in Oahu!!!!!

5.00This was an amazing experience for my family and I! We got to see many fish and even a few sea turtles!!! Shout out to the crew (Captain Crash, George, Joe, and the amazing Sushi!) they were so nice and happy to help with anything and sushi was so sweet too! I would rate this a 10/10 experience and I do not love being in the ocean but it was such a fun time and I would totally do it again if I had the chance!!! Thank you for the amazing experience Captain Crash and crew!
Terrific experience!

4.00It was way too crowded at turtle sighting area. At least 8 other boats and scores of swimmers. The crew was kind and helpful but the captain was a bit crusty.
