4.00Bring towels, because when you get out of the water it is cold. The snorkeling is pretty good, but some days you see cool animals, but sometimes you see fish and turtles. Service is great. They get the fish to you (feed them bread) which is cool. It rained, so it was cold. But overall 9/10. Loved it.
Perfect trip for turtle...

5.00Perfect trip for turtle snorkeling. The boat is new and well maintained. Four screw members works together to provide best services. Among all the tour groups. We have one person go down search for turtle first. 3 person on surf board safe guards. Wonderful music with blinking shinning boat. Definitely recommend.
Great time

5.00The staff were exceptional. My daughter dropped her toy in the water and the lifeguard (Cameron) dove and retrieved it. He also took her and another boy on his surfboard to see the turtles closer.
10/10 do not miss this!

5.0010/10 experience! So worth it! Carlos, Sophia, Captain Cam and Tommy were all incredibly welcoming, entertaining and educational. The Catamaran itself is GORGEOUS and when we had all finished snorkelling, the crew took us on a nice sail over to diamond head crater. Would do again, loved every second!

5.00Great company. Took them because they take off right from Waikiki Beach in front of the Duke statue. Took the 2.5 hour turtle snorkel with the family and we all loved it. The crew were super helpful and engaging. Special shoutout to Julia and Tommy for making the experience extra special. Captain’s Claire and Jenna were also great. Would do again.
