Super fun adventure!

5.00Awesome adventure for the kids and adults. The fish were so close you could almost touch them, the turtles are fun when they come up to say hello, and to top it off we got to watch a mom and baby humpback on the way in.

4.00It was a great experience. Captain and staff were great and accommodating. We were the only family with a little one. My daughter is 7 yrs old and they made sure to be attentive towards her in the water and with instructions before we got in the start snorkel. It was a windy day and ocean was slightly murky that day which made it slightly difficult to see the fishes and sea turtles while snorkeling. Other than the wind and water condition, it was a good experience. Snacks and drinks were provided with purchase. For the price, it was well worth the experience. Other tours were almost double the cost with the same time frame or less. I would definitely book again when in Oahu.
Got on the boat, was not able to complete the adventure

5.00It was a great experience, however the trip did not complete. It was an extremely rainy day, and we all got on the boat and got ready, but by the time we got to the spot, the rain was so much that it was making the water brown. The crew determined it was unhealthy and not a good experience. I would still recommend this though. Props to the crew, they made it fun while it lasted.
Excellent swim with turtles

2.00We Did not see any turtles, i feel we should get some money back, the crew was great they tried looking for turtles but no luck, also I think maybe there was too many people there at the same time. Also it started raining on our way back in, paid too much not to get reimbursed anything back. Please think about it.
Good experience

5.00This was such an amazing experience for my son and I! It was so easy to find the boat to start with. Then the crew did a really amazing job quickly getting everyone ready to snorkel while explaining the rules and such. The snorkel spot wasn’t too far away, so we didn’t spend a ton of time on the boat and as soon as we got to the snorkel spot, we were basically in the water almost immediately. The crew helped guide us to the best place to see turtles and we saw them almost immediately. We ended up camping over seven turtles and watched them swim up and down to get air and then go back down to the bottom of the ocean. We also saw one of the biggest puffer fishes I have ever seen as well as a huge needle fish so while the turtles are the main draw, there are a lot of other things to see. I would highly recommend this tour to any and everyone!
Great Company and Tour

5.00We had a great time. Saw whales, turtles and lots of beautiful fish. Crash was all about safety, and protecting the environment ie whales and turtles. I saw a turtle that was about 5ft away from me in the water. So cool! Equipment was good and sanitary. Drinks and snacks for ride back. Lucy and Shannon got in the water with paddle board for safety. Sushi pup was a good old girl. Fun afternoon 😊🌺
Outstanding with whales too!
