Fun sailing and looking at turtles! - The turtle snorkel and sail was amazing. The boat was very nice and new. The crew was fun and young, but efficient. We saw a turtle. Was a cloudy day. I would imagine there would be more activity on a sunnier day. Seems like the turtles like to come up and sun at the top.

Early morning bliss!!! - Super safe and kind crew on a gorgeous, comfy boat. Definitely a top experience on Waikiki beach: getting out to the turtles early was a treat, and we even got a bonus sail.

Wonderful experience! - The turtles were amazing as well as the crew of the catamaran! When I started to feel uneasy in the ocean they were kind and helpful getting me back on the catamaran.

So much fun! - The snorkelling was so fun! We were able to see several turtles, including a couple that breached. Plus tons of different types of colourful fish. The drinks on the boat afterward were also delicious. Would recommend anyone looking to snorkel book this tour. Great team all around.

Amazing, highly recommend - I absolutely loved this experience. The crew was amazing and made sure we got to swim with dolphins which was incredible. I highly recommend doing your tour through this company. They’re small, organise pick and drop off at your hotel, and are just great people that make you feel comfortable (I did this solo so that stood out to me). Also definitely pay for the photos as their photographer is wonderful and makes sure you get to document the tour without you having to miss the moment trying to capture it yourself.
