Oahu snorkel cruise 🐋 🏝️🐬

5.00I brought my mom and 2 teenage girls on this cruise and it exceeded our expectations by a large margin! The entire crew was amazing and beyond helpful. Between captain Stef, photographer Yuya, deck crew Lucas, and first mate Tim, we were in excellent hands. They were knowledgeable about the land, water, sea creatures, boat, snorkeling, safety, and more. We saw an abundance of humpback whales and spinner dolphins from the boat. When we snorkeled, we saw a starfish and several other small sea creatures. Following the snorkel, we heard humpback whales singing. The crew played the live singing through the speakers on the boat. Pretty sure there were baby whales singing along. 🐋 It was absolutely beautiful! I will come back next time I’m in town. Thanks so much for such a wonderful and unique experience!
Trip of a lifetime

5.00The team went above and beyond to sail further into the sea and found so many dolphins swimming around us. Shantele is such a humorous and considerate captain; Tim explains a lot about animals (oh yes we also saw a Mahi-mahi); Bryan keeps you slide safe while taking good pics of you; Joanna quickly points to us where the whales are. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience!

Spinner dolphins, monk seals

5.00We saw spinner dolphins which gave us quite a show. There was more then 50 of them swimming right next to the boat but we weren’t lucky enough to swim with them, their behavior wasn’t for swimming with them that day. We also saw 3 monk seals which are endangered species, there is only about 1600 of them left in the world. We also swam with turtles which was fun. The crew nailed it, they did great in every way.

5.00It was a great experience to see not only dolphins but also sea turtles and rare Hawaiian seals swimming! The crew are very kind and considerate of children.
Terrible.

1.00Pick up from Waikiki is at 5:30AM then you drive around to pick up a herd of people for an hour before you then drive another hour to the west side of Honolulu. After 2 hours of uncomfortable bus ride, you stand in a parking lot with NO bathroom access and no food or drink access. Then you finally board the boat where you drive around for 2 more hours without getting into the water. Maybe you see dolphins, maybe you do not, but at this point is it worth the 4 hours at that point? Then, after possibly watching dolphins from the boat, you just go back to the docking area where you actually snorkel for 30 minutes in murky water near rocks and minimal sea life. While snorkeling the boat starts to drift toward the rocks and the “captain” turns on the propellers with people in the water and near the boat. 7 hours round trip for 30 minutes of terrible snorkeling. Just snorkel in waikiki, save the time and the terrible dangerous experience. Oh yeah, you also sign a waiver saying that you cannot sue them (they turn on the boat with people in the water). The absolute worst experience I have ever had on similar tours. Look for smaller groups, much more pleasant.
See Dolphins, snorkel, and have fun!
