Family turtle swim - Phillip did a great job at taking my family and I out to swim with turtles. He’s very informative and friendly. He goes out of his way to make everyone feel safe. We would love to do this again one day.

Great experience, would recommend - Phil and his crew were great! I loved that it was a small tour of 6 people so it felt a lot more personable. The dock was kind of hard to find, but Phillip was extremely helpful by texting/calling and sharing the location via Apple iMessage, making it easy to open in Apple Maps. We were able to see a good portion of turtles as well as some fish. Danny, the photographer, was also very helpful and guided us around the area and provided some insightful was on the Hawaii and the surrounding area.

Amazing Private Experience - My friends and I had an amazing time surprising our friend for her birthday with Apex Charters! Phillip is so knowledgeable about the ocean and wildlife. He really customized our experience for us making sure we got to see turtles and have an incredible view of Diamond Head at all times. We will definitely be going back for the private feel Apex Charters offers!

Great experience - The guide, Daniel and the Captain, Philip were very knowledgeable and kind. They were caring when I started to feel a little sick and felt bad that my husband and I were one the boat for most of the time.

Early morning swim with sea turtles - We had an early morning snorkel tour of turtle canyon to swim with the green sea turtles and it did not disappoint. Perfect temperature water and turtles swam up to us then dove down. We saw some sleeping on the bottom. It was a great day and fun outing. The crew was excellent and helpful in all areas…and so nice!!

Coolest boat tour ever - Aloha! If you’re looking for adventure, **Hawaii Apex Charter** is the best. We went to **Turtle Canyon**, swam with honu (sea turtles), and the water was crystal clear. Captain Phillip and the crew were super chill and full of aloha spirit. It was an unreal time—highly recommend! Mahalo!

Wonderful boat tour! - My family and I did the turtle canyon tour and we loved it so much we came back for the sunset tour. Phillip and his crew are amazing educators about Hawaiians wildlife. The small group tour makes the experience more unique and enjoyable for sure. We were snorkeling and watching turtles swimming around. We could admire Diamond Head and the south shoreline without crowds. It was the time very well spent. We definitely will book another tour in future when our family travels to Hawaii.

Amazing experience - The boat ride out to the snorkel spot was very quick, which allowed our group to spend more time in the water. This private tour allowed us time and space to explore and avoid the crowd. It was an amazing day to see so many turtles and an eagle ray.
