This is the tour you want 🐢 - I just went on the Turtle Canyon snorkel with Sam & Mossy and the trip was amazing. The boat and equipment were great, the snorkeling spot was a quick drive from Waikiki, and the reef that they brought us to was bustling with fish and turtles. Mossy went snorkeling with us and knew exactly where to go and taught us about the local wildlife. The trip was super relaxing, and the guides were really fun to hang out with - I can’t recommend this tour & company enough.

Amazing family day at sea!!! - Francesco and his crew were amazing!! We had all of our families out for the day for snorkeling and swimming! The day went perfectly. Once we boarded the boat, we immediately felt like we were on the boat of a family friend. In every way, they took care of us and made sure that our day was exactly as we imagined it. Safety seemed a top priority, and they did an excellent job of keeping us safe but not ruining any of the fun. The next time I’m in Hawaii, I will be chartering this boat again for another unforgettable family memory!!

Organized helpful patient clean communication best day ever an absolute must best day in Oahu. Coming back soon. - If you're looking for an all-inclusive top-notch snorkeling outfit this is by far one of the best experiences we've had while being here the crew were polite and courteous, knowledgeable, patient and just good people all around. The correspondence before the trip was incredibly clear and accurate of what was to come. The boat was immaculate, organized, and comfortable. I honestly couldn’t even find something wrong with the day or my overall experience with them if I tried. I would highly recommend with confidence booking through Francesco and his fleet of ships. Thanks again for an awesome day that our family will never forget.

Great crew made up for bad weather! - It wasn’t ideal conditions but the crew was awesome trying to make it work despite the rain/thunder storm and slightly rough seas. We weren’t able to stay in the water as long as we would have liked, but the crew took great care of us. They were knowledgeable about the sea life and area. When we had to get out due to lightning they found a whale watching ship and went over to investigate and we saw a whale! When I got a bit sea sick they had ginger candy and essential oils which helped.

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.
