5.00The snorkeling with sea turtles boat our is a superb experience! The entire crew was very capable and friendly. What was particularly noteworthy is that when my wife needed extra assistance in the water while snorkeling, a crew member stayed alongside her and helped her to continue with her snorkeling experience so as not to require her to cut short her time in the ocean. This extra effort by a crew member was truly exceptional service. You could see that the entire crew really enjoyed the work they are doing and serving their customers.
Memorable experience with turtles

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. Mahalo.
