The Perfect Turtle Snorkeling Adventure - The excursion was wonderful and the right amount of time. Super friendly crew- 3 people. The boat was really nice and everyone had plenty of space. The snorkeling equipment was new and I never had an issue with water coming into my goggle area. It was a short 10 minute boat ride to the snorkeling site. Emma, who led the snorkelers, loved snorkeling and the sea life, and took time to explain everything and get us to exactly where the turtles were. She borrowed a camera from one of the snorkelers and dove 20+ feet to get an incredible minute long video of the turtles. We then got an airdrop from her and all went home with an incredible video. Besides the 5 turtles we saw at the first area, we saw 2 - 3 more as we floated around the coral. Several of these 30 - 90 year old turtles swam gracefully to the top to get some air as we watched them in awe. They were beautiful for sure. Along with the turtles, there were various classic fish along with a tiny eel that we happened to catch sight of. After spending 40 or so minutes in the water, we returned to the boat and went back to the pier. Everyone was super nice and we all had a great time!

Awesome experience! - It was awesome! Saw so many turtles and fish! The tour organizers don’t take photos. I wish I’d known that and would have brought an underwater camera.

Amazing Tour - I had an absolute blast. This was my first time snorkeling and I was a little nervous but the crew made me feel so comfortable. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. They made it very enjoyable by guiding us and giving us information while snorkeling in the water. we saw lots of turtles! This was our favorite tour on our trip. I highly recommend booking a tour with them. Thank you Island Splash Tours for a truly amazing and memorable experience. Tina Mullen

Amazing Experience - It was amazing! The tour guides were really friendly and professional. I got a little nervous getting in the water and they really helped me out a lot to get comfortable until I was swimming around by myself. The sights were amazing and the water was so beautiful. Saw lots of turtles and other beautiful ocean creatures.

Fantastic! A great experience and crew. - I booked this trip (mom + teen boy) at the last minute and wow, it did not disappoint! The boat ride is brief (so, no motion sickness) and the snorkeling is about an hour - just right. I felt exceptionally safe with the crew, and we saw many turtles both underwater and rising to the top. The turtles had no fear of humans and it was a joy to see them just a few feet away. Holly made sure that we always had surfboard or flotation device support if we needed a break from swimming, and Nate kept us all together and away from other boats. This is a crowded area and there were several boats, although that didn't bother us. What was most noticeable is that our crew was genuinely kind, calm, helpful and excited to show us what Hawaii has to offer - unlike many of the other boats whose crews were barking orders at their guests. Do this tour, take your teenagers who think they're too cool, and tip your crew well. I'll go back in a heartbeat!

Had a great snorkeling with Turtles - They were on time which was great & it took around 1.5 hrs of total time. Unfortunately , waves were little bumpy on that day which was uncomfortable at end of the tour.
