Amazing First Time Snorkeling

5.00I was super nervous about snorkeling and being in the ocean that deep, but the crew really helped ease my nerves by telling me what to expect. The guides swam with us and pointed us in the direction to go when they spotted a turtle. I would 10/10 recommend and I would go again! I ended up really enjoying it even though I was a little scared!

Frustrated

3.00This is the third time I’ve been on this same same snorkel trip, and have had great experiences in the past. However, this was with a different company. I understand the weather in Hawaii changes quickly and they can’t give refunds for weather, but the weather was so bad that the money we spent on this was not worth it. There was zero visibility in the water, I didn’t see a turtle, and there was a rainstorm for most of the trip. We waited 25 minutes for people who were late, and the employees took quite some time to find the location where the boat anchors to. We waited in the water for 10 minutes for people to get their gear, on and get in before we could swim over to the location of the turtles. Bad weather or not, I will not be using Charter Oahu again.
Have to do while you’re in Waikiki

Ton of fish, turtles and even whales. Best team ever!!!

5.00We had an absolutely incredible snorkeling experience! We saw a ton of fish and so many turtles, but the real highlight was seeing whales as a bonus. The team was so polite and amazing with our kids, making the whole trip stress-free. The snacks and drinks provided were great, and they have awesome photographer for a very reasonable price. If you’re looking for a professional crew that knows how to find the best wildlife, this is it! I would say it was the most welcoming crew that I have ever come across. Felt like a good friend of yours shows you the best places. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you !!!!

5.00Such an amazing experience, we saw multiple turtles, and beautiful different fish. The price was great for the experience you get an hour in the ocean. The employees were very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend and would do this again!
Absolutely the Worst Snorkel Experience I've Ever Had
Elizabeth F,Apr 9, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00It felt like an elementary school field trip, where we weren't allowed to swim outside of a very crowded area set out by 5 boats. There was no visibility, we were very far from the rocks/coral and the guides illegally used fish food to get the fish to swarm our very crowded area. I've done over 20 snorkel cruises in Hawaii, including other ones to Turtle Canyon, but this was absolutely the worst. Save your money.
Amazing!!!

5.00The weather wasn’t favorable the morning of our tour and we were given an option to cancel or reschedule, which we appreciated. We decided to do the tour anyway and the crew took us on an amazing cruise instead. We saw humpback whales breaching!!! It was a once I. A lifetime experience!!
