Fun even with rough water! - It was worth the price we paid. The water was very rough and they were extra careful with us. We all got to swim near a turtle having salon treatment! The fish were close and beautiful. They kept this 78 year old safe in the water, and steered me to the turtles!

A can't miss time with the turtles - This was an awesome experience and we saw at least four turtles, which was an incredible experience. The crew was awesome, friendly, professional, courteous, funny. Sam and Ella were the best so much so we booked a private sunset cruise with them for a night later in our trip.

Lucky to see you! - We were very lucky to see the pod of dolphins. And baby one was jumping to show off haha. Girls were very kind to lead us to see turtles and they were very funny and friendly. I will definitely take more friends every time they visit me.

Amazing Charter! - Just did a charter with Hawai‘i Ocean Charters on the Big Kahuna—absolutely incredible experience. The boat was immaculate, the crew was super friendly and attentive, and the sea life we saw was amazing. The sound system on board was top-notch, too. Easily the best boat charter on O‘ahu—highly recommend!

Honu Galore - I went on a turtle snorkel tour in Waikiki with Captain Francesco and deckhand Nick, and it was an incredible experience. They were friendly, professional, and made everyone feel safe with a clear safety briefing and attentive support in the water. We saw several honu (sea turtles) up close in stunning water, I highly recommend for a fun and safe ocean adventure!

Guaranteed a Great Time! - I highly recommend booking this tour! I have been a handful of times and you’re guaranteed to have a great time. The ride over to the snorkel spot is gorgeous with so many great views of the mountains and ocean, opportunities to see seabirds, whales (if the right season), and dolphins along the way. There are always many turtles and fish to see when snorkeling as well. The boats are in great condition and the crew is super friendly and professional.
