Great adventure! - We went early based on another review and I'm very glad we did. The boat was small and we had a nice sized group of 9 for the trip. Holly was our safety officer on board and lifeguard out in the water, Alex was our tour guide helping spot and guide us to the turtles and Capt Preston got us out and back safely. It was a super friendly, knowledgeable and engaging crew and it was a great trip. I would not hesitate to book with them again.

We went on the early trip... - We went on the early trip as recommended by a previous visitor and I'm very glad we did. It was a small boat and there were only 9 of us in the group. It was a short ride out to Turtle Canyon and there were only a couple other groups out there so overcrowding wasn't a problem. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and engaging. Holly was our safety officer before we got in the water and our lifeguard when we were snorkeling. Alex was our water guide helping to spot the turtles and let us know where to see them. Capt Preston got us out and back with ease. It was a great experience and I would not hesitate to book with them again.

Amazing Adventure!! - Amazing crew! They were very helpful and provided great information for beginner snorkelers. My only suggestion is to warn clients that the boat ride can cause severe motion sickness. The boat is small, so you’ll feel every wave and movement. If you suffer from motion sickness, I strongly recommend avoiding snorkeling or riding in a small boat—you’ll definitely have a tough time. My family saw several turtles swimming during their snorkeling adventure. Also, the crew allowed a contract photographer to take pictures of people snorkeling near the turtles, which was a great experience. We paid the photographer directly, but we haven’t received the pictures yet. The photographer said 5 days to get the pictures, let’s see if that true. Hoping it wasn’t a scam—I’ll update my review if I get the pictures soon. Overall, recommend this adventure!

Memorable experience - We had a great experience snorkeling with turtles. When they say guaranteed turtles! Yes it’s guaranteed! The island splash crew were the best! So accommodating. We really snorkeled with the turtles at a safe distance. My kids had a very memorable time. We would love doing it agin.

Best Snorkeling - My daughter’s one request for our trip was to go snorkeling and I’m so glad we went with Island Splash. The crew was amazing, not only were they knowledgeable but they helped put my daughter at ease when she got nervous about getting in the water. We saw so many turtles and fish, it was a fantastic day.

Nice for Beginners – Unbeatable View - We were hesitant to book a snorkeling tour off of Waikiki but it worked out very well for our kids, who are beginner swimmers (they felt safe). You drive to the site for about 15 minutes and are in the water for about an hour and perhaps best of all, the view of Waikiki is awesome. Great for beginners. The reef is not as vibrant as some other places in the islands where I have snorkeled but we did see some schools and turtles. It was a nice trip with friendly staff.
