Morning with the turtles

5.00My daughter’s and I took the 8:45 AM turtle snorkel and sail out on a Friday morning. The catamaran did not feel crowded at all. It was a beautiful day. The crew was great professional, fun and interactive. They did a great job pointing out all the turtles and fish when we were in the water and keeping an eye on everyone. We felt completely safe all the time. They all obviously love their job. Thanks for the great experience. I would definitely recommend it. We booked through the Sheraton Waikiki Beach resort. In the morning, we just walked down the beach towards Diamondhead to meet the boat.
Excellent and lots to see while snorkeling

5.00This was an awesome tour. We got to snorkel with turtles and it was very family friendly. It also included about a 1 hour sail where we got to look for some more wildlife. Our Captain was Carlos along with the crew Dez, Claire and Phoenix. They were a great crew. They made sure to point out anything they saw and they were so enthusiastic. They even went around asking everyone if they needed photos taken. Highly recommend for your trip in Hawaii. Thanks so much! I can't say the value for money because my in laws paid for it.
Excellent time! 10/10

5.00We all had a great time ages 13 to 68. The crew was friendly and really helpful making sure we were all comfortable. We saw many fish & huge turtles then a sail around diamond head. There was a school of fish with huge tuna coming out of the water, that was fun to see.
Awesome Experience

So Glad We Chose This

5.00Was very glad we booked this adventure. I did not snorkel but enjoyed the sail immensely and saw some turtles that got close enough to the boat. Daughter snorkeled and she loved it. The best snorkel experience she's had. Saw several turtles and plenty of fish. Des, Kapono, Claire and Phoenix took great care of us. I loved that we got on right from the beach and there were stairs for easy boarding. I kept overthinking it about getting stuff on the boat that I might need (sunscreen, towel, cover-up, etc.) but it was very easy to carry a beach bag on board through the water with everything I'd need.
I had no idea sea turtles were so cute!

5.00What a great experience! The crew was courteous and incredibly hospitable! The boat ride by itself was relaxing and very enjoyable. The swimming was so much fun and the staff made sure we got our eyes on a turtle…one of the coolest things I’ve seen. We had my in-laws and our kids and everyone had a great time. There are a ton of choices for a turtle snorkeling experience but between the boat and the crew, I would highly recommend this tour!
