5.00It was my first time participating. The truth is, I'm an oceanophobic. However, I can't forget the sea turtle I saw last year 🐢, Aitai‼️ won. Our guide Maki gave us an unforgettable talk and support! I will definitely be back‼️ Thank you very much 😊
Great crew!

5.00Great crew, lots of fun. Kirsten, Yugi, and the Captain took great care of us. They went above and beyond with a quick run to the store before the trip to make sure we had everything we needed. We saw lots of turtles, fish, and a crazy rainbow. This was definitely worth it.
It was a great experience to meet so many turtles and dolphins!

5.00I participated with my mother! The pick-up contact was very easy to understand and they explained in Japanese from start to finish, so I could participate with peace of mind! Snorkeling, I wasn't sure, but as I was doing it I got used to it and had a great experience! I got to meet a lot of turtles and dolphins!! Thank you for all the fun and precious memories!
Turtle University Tour as a good memory!

5.00For the first time, three family members participated in a snorkeling activity off Waikiki. The bus transfer to the hotel, the transfer to the port, the boarding to the departure… it was smooth as scheduled. There were many Japanese participants, and it was easy to understand explanations in English and Japanese. It was a great time to snorkel, with fine weather and not too high waves to worry about. We also met some sea turtles and had a memorable experience! The Waikiki coast and Diamond Head from the sea were also lovely. The staff were also very kind. Thank you, Sam, for the Japanese guide.

5.00It was my first experience. The explanation before boarding was easy to understand and it was cold after the experience at sea, but I did as you told me and it was OK. I was happy to see so many fish and to see turtles. I would love to use it again. Thank you for your help.
