Worthwhile trip - We had a great boat trip with Capt Crash,Anna and Lucy. Be prepared to get wet! A great way to see some sea turtles and fish in their natural habitat. Also the views of the island are incredible. A great trip that won't take all day.

Turtle snorkel - We went on the 2:30 tour to Turtle Canyons. The crew was friendly and helpful. You can do this as a beginner but you should be able to swim from boat and be comfortable in water. You have a life vest so you can float if you keep it more inflated, you can let out air if you want to be able to dive. The masks fit well, dont fog up, and are sanitized. It was my first time and it was not hard. The water was 80 degrees and you can see the reefs where the turtles hide. We saw lots of turtles and when they fed the fish off the boat, they swarm around you and it is really cool. This was one of my favorite experiences in Oahu, and I did cool stuff like helicopter, horseback ride, and zipline. I loved this more than I thought I would and will be bringing my kids back here next year. Shannon and Nick were awesome and Captain Krash was great. I highly recommend this excursion. Worth every penny, it was very well priced.

Exceeded expectations and a ton of turtles. - Very good snorkeling experience. Saw over 10 turtles and could have spent another hour there. Crew was great and would highly recommend. My only issue was the number of boats and people in this tiny area.
