ʻike kupanaha - wonderful experience! - Captain Tony and First Mate Abe provided us with an ultimate snorkeling experience with large groups of turtles and fish. We were able to observe several groups of 6 to 10 turtles per group at a leisurely pace and viewed them at a close but respectful distance. We were able to see to these beautiful creatures in several areas and in the “cleaning station” we were also treated to seeing hundreds of beautiful fish swimming about the reef with the turtles. Abe was in the water with us to answer our questions, identify fish, teach us about their habitat, and provide assist if anyone needed it. For an additional $75, he captured our experience on a GoPro which was promptly delivered to our email. Captain Tony answered questions we had about the island. We appreciated his suggestions. Their love for the island and the sea was evident and we highly recommend the excursion. Mahalo!

ʻike kupanaha - wonderful experience! - Captain Tony and Abe provided us with an ultimate experience at Turtle Bay. We saw a few groups of 6-10 turtles and were able to observe them at our leisure from the respected distance. We were not rushed. We went to the “cleaning station” reef area where we were able to see and swim with hundreds of fish. Abe went in the water with us to answer questions, ID fish, assist if needed, and for an additional $75 he used a GoPro to capture our adventure. Capt. Tony provided island information and answered questions for us. Their love for the island and sea was evident and we highly recommend this excursion. Mahalo!

Unforgettable experience - I knew when I was coming to Hawaii the one thing I HAD to do was go snorkeling with sea turtles. There were so many options but I picked this one because it advertised small groups. There were 7 of us and the whole experience was just unreal. We got up close and personal with the turtles and had the best guide ever, Abe!! Abe truly made the experience outstanding. He was so so so friendly, helpful, hilarious, knowledgeable and thanks to him we have the most perfect photos to showcase. The deal they offered for the photos was also unmatched. If I could recommend any of the excursions we did on our trip it would be this one. It was a bit of a workout but simply an experience I will remember forever. Thank you, Abe!! You were phenomenal!

Best snorkeling experience - The captain and our tour guide, Abe, were so knowledgeable! Down to earth and made us feel really welcome. This was perfect for our family! They get you out there before crowds and you get a great experience. The sunrise over Diamond head was just a perk! We will book again next time we visit.

Majestic swim with the turtles - Beautiful experience snorkeling with turtles. Tony and Abe were very hospitable and able to give you more attention . I loved the early departure you get ahead of the crowds . We saw beautiful turtles 🐢 . Abe made sure we stayed together and was so good at locating them and guiding us in the right direction. You must be able to swim for this adventure. But rest assured they do provide flotation devices. It was one of my favorite adventures on the island .

This is a must do activity in Oahu - Tony and Abe were amazing! I went with my parents who had limited experience with snorkeling and being on the boat and both guys were wonderful and helpful. We saw twenty dolphins, soooo many turtles and lots of fish. Definitely worth to get out there earlier before the crowd of other boats get there.

Highlight of our Families Recent Vacation in Oahu - What a HIGHLIGHT of my Families recent Trip to Oahu. Capt. Tony provided a Beautiful , Safe and Upclose Adventure with Sea Turtles. He was assisted with a Crew Member who guided us in the water to provide support and information about the Turtles and the abundance e of Fish in the area just a short distance from the Marina.

Amazing small group snorkel experience! - Captain Tony is such a funny guy! Me and my boyfriend booked the 7am snorkel trip to see the turtles and had such an amazing time! Tony is so knowledgeable about sea life and Hawaii in general. He specifically books the 7am trip so we can be the first boat out! He also had a tour guide with him that told us about all of the different fish, turtles, and other sea life! It was such an amazing trip, well worth the money. I loved how intimate it was (only 6 people), and it was on his personal sailboat. Would do this trip every morning if I could 😁🤩 Oh and after the trip he airdropped us a whole list of other sights to see across the island! Very nice guy!
