Great, relaxing tour - We had an incredible sail and swimming with the turtles tour. Francisco and Sam were outstanding with their knowledge of the coastline, the fish and turtles. Small group with unbelievable one on one instruction. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic Turtle Snorkel Trip in Oahu! - Francesco and Nick were wonderful, I loved the small group, we received excellent personal attention in and out of the water! Nick spotted different kinds of fish & sea creatures and we saw lots of turtles swimming at the bottom & also on the surface. The boat ride was wonderful too. I Highly recommend this tour!! Heidi & Steve!

Excellent small group charter. - Excellent small group charter. Great experience with dolphins, turtles, and fish viewing. Knowledgeable crew, comfy bean bags, and hospitality. We had a 10 year old with us who was first to snorkle I'm thw ocean and a bit nervous. The guide buoyed him up and took him around for a VIP snorkle.Love the small size charter, it was just our family of five. No need to deal with the crowded boats.

Small group Snorkeling is the Best! - What a great excursion! Francesco and Natalie of Hawaii Ocean Charters could not have been more fun, flexible, and supportive! Having done multiple snorkeling excursions around the world, experiencing a small group boat was really fantastic! We saw turtles and reef fish in clear, perfect water. It doesn’t get any better!

Best snorkel tour! - Fantastic tour with Nick and Francesco who pulled us around to all the best spots in the water. Very small group with much personal attention. They took pictures of us with Diamond Head in the background. We felt very safe and well attended to.

Great experience! - Captain Francesco and first mate Nick were excellent. Both of them were extremely knowledgeable. To start the trip Francesco stated the four person group we were supposed to go with cancelled and they usually do not only take 2 people, however they took us out for an unbelievable experience. We saw many turtles and many pods of dolphins. Highly recommend Hawaii Ocean Charters!

Amazing! - We were the only participants who had booked so we had a private tour! The instructor and captain were patient and helpful. We went to turtle canyon and saw lots of turtles and fish and some dolphins even swam by, seen by other tour groups, but we were looking the other way! We got back in the boat after a while and found the dolphins who then played in the wake of the boat! One of the best experiences of my life! The captain even took us up near Diamond Head because I was curious about the waves there and the instructor suggested some good beaches to visit. They were very adaptable and focused on us having a great time. Our instructor at times was focused on talking to the instructor from another group rather than us while at Turtle Canyon but not until he was confident we were safe and had the hang of it, so wasn’t really an issue. They took good care of us and I would recommend the tour for sure! Much better than a big tour as it was very personalised.
