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.

An Absolutely Epic Adventure 😝 - An all around amazing experience! The Big Kahuna Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure in Waikiki is a must-do. We saw sea turtles, tropical fish, vibrant coral, and DOLPHINS in crystal-clear waters. I had no idea that Waikiki had that kind of sea life! Captain Francesco and the crew were fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy, from boarding to puting on our snorkel gear.
The boat was easy to access, and they provided plenty of gear. We basically just showed up with sun protection and a towel, they had the rest covered. The crew was always there to help, making the whole experience seamless and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for great wildlife viewing, top-notch customer service, and a smooth adventure, this charter is the way to go! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Waikiki! Mahalo Hawaii Ocean Charters 🫶🫶🫶

Best Sunset cruise on Oahu! - We had the most unforgettable experience with Hawaii Ocean Charters on their sunset cruise! From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Francesco made us feel so welcome and at ease. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the ocean and coastline, but also shared fun facts and stories that made the ride even more special.
The boat was beautiful, clean, and so comfortable, and we were blown away by the views—watching the sun dip below the horizon with the mountains in the background was pure magic. We even spotted some dolphins! Captain Francesco truly went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience for everyone on board.

Unforgettable Snorkel Adventure with Hawaii Ocean Charters! - Our experience with Hawaii Ocean Charters' Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Captain Francesco, who is also the owner, was so knowledgeable and passionate about the ocean. His love for marine life was contagious and made the trip even more special.
We saw an amazing variety of marine life, including tons of colorful fish, several majestic sea turtles, and even an octopus that one of the crew members spotted and pointed out to us! It felt like we were swimming in a real-life aquarium.
The open ocean can be intimidating, especially for some of our friends who don’t have much ocean experience, but the entire crew made everyone feel completely safe and supported the whole time. Their professionalism, care, and attention to detail really stood out.
We will 1000% be booking another snorkel adventure with Hawaii Ocean Charters. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu!
