Definitely recommend booking with them! The 100% guarantee turtle sighting is true! One of the crew members gave us a tour and another was with us in the water as our lifeguard. Great experience all around!

A lot of fun! The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw multiple turtles at our dive spot and many fish. I would recommend this snorkeling tour. The tour isn’t as pricey as the other ones, but we got what we came wanted from this snorkeling tour. Don't touch the sea turtles.

All right, have seen 4 turtles and thousands of fish and the Captain of the boat speaks French in addition and two excellent sailors who accompany him

⸻ Today, we went on a boat trip to see turtles swimming with my family, and it was a very disappointing experience. The captain was quite rude and even refused to let my children have snacks. He saw them eating and said, “No more snacks, no more drinks. You’re here to see turtles, not just sit and eat.” After that, I panicked once underwater, and he didn’t even offer help, just told me to get back on the boat and not to swim again. He should teach properly instead of talking about his three wives.

Got to see lots of fish and turtles. Also got to see a cute seal on the way back. There were a few snacks on the way back which was nice as we were hungry. Only downside is we didn’t get to see the dog on this trip

We had a very good time at Oahu catamaran. Greg and George went out of their way to give us a nice experience. Communication with them in advance was easy. The snorkeling equipment was high quality and suitable for everyone. After snorkeling there was a small snack selection and drinks. That was very accommodating. We would book another tour with them. The price-performance ratio fits very well. Mahalo Melanie and Madlen
