4.00Nice staff, great service and LOTS of turtles, fishes and a ray! I felt the swimming part a bit long and tiresome, and we couldn’t use our own full-face mask, which we have brought from home especially for this experience. It would be better if they had provided information about these…
Great snorkel charter!

5.00So this is going to be a review y’all are going to want to read. This snorkeling tour is outstanding from start to finish. Captain David and his crew went above and beyond to take care of everyone on this excursion, especially me. Besides us seeing more turtles, fish, sea urchins and more things than I can remember, I had a problem while on this tour. I get motion sickness. Long story short, Captain David, Kevin, Hailey, Anabelle, and Chayse were absolutely amazing. I ended up getting motion sickness and dehydrated, and the crew stepped in to be short order EMT’s. They supplied me with liquid IV, cold compress towels and ice, water baths, granola bars, chips, protein packs, and massaged my muscles that were tightening up due to dehydration and lack of blood flow. I cannot thank them enough for the amazing tour, genuine concern, immediate care and their Aloha spirit. They made sure I was no longer dizzy, nauseous and sick before moving on to their next tour. They even called me while on there next tour to make sure I was OK. I highly recommend this tour with this crew for your snorkeling experience. I would recommend taking the Dramamine or whatever is needed for motion sickness if you get it and not trying to tough it out or think you might not need it. Well done Living Oceans!!! Aloha and Mahalo!!!
Must do when in Oahu!

5.0010/10 experience! Our guides - Liana, Gracie, Kevin, and Pono were all super nice and great! Liana was great in spotting turtles. Felt lucky that we were able to spot a bunch down at the sea and on the surface. Super fun experience, did not have to worry about anything except for having fun! 🤩
Great Turtle Visit!

5.00We happened to have an all female crew, and they were exceptional—professional, attentive, and personable. The snacks and canned fruit drinks were a nice touch.
