The Waikiki Green Sea Turtle Snorkelling Tour was fantastic! A MUST DO! - The Waikiki Green Sea Turtle Snorkelling Tour was fantastic! The Captain plus host Garrick were very friendly, professional, ecologically-focused and informative. It was nice we only had 14 on the tour which meant it was not too overcrowded, plus not too many in the water scaring the crap out of the turtles! I'm not a strong swimmer but I felt quite comfortable until my snorkel fell out of my one piece mask... salt water... yummy ;-(! Even with that, I got to see what I wanted to see (guaranteed turtles!) , so all cool... and thanks Garrick for finding my errant snorkel! We were lucky with the weather, getting plenty of time in the water before the forecast storm hit (about 3/4 of the way through the tour)... and it was some storm. Whisky time! All in all a great trip, even if we had paid full price, it would have been well worth it. Highly recommend to all tourists whose swimming ranges from not strong to the very experienced (recommended not to go if you cant swim, as you need to be confident in water where you can't touch the bottom). Thanks again guys... our only regret we had run out of US dollars to give you a well-deserved tip!

Turtles and much more! - I was able to book this same day and I am so glad that i did. Great price for what you get. The Host and Boat Captain put me at ease immediately with their knowledge of what it looks like out there today. Competent and Out-Going in the Safest and fun manner. Dropped down into a few hundred fish of all types and colors. Turtles were there in abundance. We even got to see a Mama and teenager half her size. Only took 20 mins. to get to Turtle Valley and the Photo ops are worth the money,even if you don’t snorkel! Loved it ! Will go again on any return visit!

Sea Turtlessssss - The crew was so nice and helpful. Even though the water was murky, they made sure to find sea turtles and point them out to us. They explained how to use the gear very concisely and helped those who weren’t as strong swimmers. Overall, we had a great time.

THREE SEA TURTLES - So fun, the staff was amazing! We saw three turtles on this trip. One of the most memorable experiences of my life. My first time snorkeling was scary but they were so patient and kept account for every passenger. I am going to go again!

Sea turtles everywhere! - It was a sea turtle snorkeling tour and sea turtles are exactly what we saw! Lots of them! There was a strong current that day and the guides that helped in the water were fantastic! They helped by pulling me against the current so I could see everything. I was swimming, but not going anywhere! Thanks, would go again!

Fun Snorkeling - Fun snorkeling out in the ocean. We saw many different fish and a few turtles. There’s also beverages and snacks available for purchase on the boat. Make sure to bring a towel to dry off. PJ, West & Garry were great!

3 turtle tour. - Expected to see bocoup turtles. Not. Too many boats & like HNL too many people. If turtle, I’m out of here. Were on site about lunchtime. Like everything else in HNL, recommend early start. Most times makes difference in experience despite cooler conditions. Plusses were we lucked out on semi-retired, displaced Washingtonian, Capt. Ken. He’s personable, audible, & informative unlike his guides who could use a bullhorn or PA system. Boat was better than it looks. High marks for utility. Gear was top notch. Water was complimentary but none offered. Recommend Capt Ken but no guarantee you’ll get him.
