Amazing - The tour was amazing. The highlight of our trip! Captain Chris, Kristen, Daylin and the other young girl were fabulous. We saw heaps of fish and turtles. A turtle popped up for air right near us. I would highly recommend this tour!

A memorable experience! Highly recommended! - I took my twin 10-year old daughters on their turtle canyon snorkeling tour and it was amazing! Kristen, Wylie, and Captain Chris were all so attentive and helpful to us. Traveling as a solo parent with two kiddos, everyone made our experience memorable. There was another kid on our tour who wasn't a strong swimmer and they took the time and effort to make sure that he had a great time. The post-snorkel hit chocolate kept them warm and comfy. I would 100% book them again the next time we're in Honolulu! Thanks again for a wonderful time!

Swimming with the turtles 🐢 - We had an amazing time. We saw so many colorful fish and countless turtles 🐢. The staff was wonderful. Wyley, Emily, Captain Chris and photographer Yuya all made the experience unforgettable. Wyley and Emily made sure to show us the best spots to see the turtles and kept the group together. Captain Chris navigated the boat so we could see the beautiful views of Diamond Head and the Skyline. They were super sweet and helpful 💕. 200% recommended!!

Great experience! - We were fortunate to have a small group the day we had our excursion. The staff Ryan, Kristin and Sam were the best! We were lucky and seen turtles, a ton of fish and to top it off spinner dolphins on our way back to dock

Awesome Turtle Excursion - Smooth pickup and drop off. Staff was top notch and put safety first, one of the mates took my camera down and got a picture of a turtle that was snoozing. cannot wait to see the photos. Maki, Capt Ryan, Kristin, Javier and Deelan (sp) were all a phenomenal outing

Best snorkeling! - We spotted 6 or 7 turtles, tons of fish and got to see spinner dolphins! Ryan (captain) and Kristin and Sam were fabulous! Definitely you need to book with this crew. They were extremely knowledgeable and we were lucky to find them. Made our trip to Hawaii so much memorable.

Thanks to Sea Turtle and Maki-san - I'm not sure I can swim, but Maki took me to a sea turtle spot on his board, which was a relief. Maki-san enlivened us from start to finish, and we had really good memories. For those who are about to participate ・You will receive an online signature form for the agreement by email when you complete your reservation, so it will be smoother if you fill it out by the time you join. · When you enter the sea wearing a lash guard, you will lose your body temperature and become more than a sea turtle. I recommend you take it off and then go into the water.

Five turtles at first sight. - On March 26th, my family of 5 joined the turtle college. The weather was good and the water was clear. Maki, a Japanese interpreter, pulled the kids who couldn't swim well to the turtle point, and I was able to see the turtle surface many times. We were also lucky enough to see whales on the way back. A child told Maki: "I was so happy to see the whales. When my sisters took pictures with sea urchins together, they hurt a bit. The stickers are cute. It was fun to see turtles and fish.
