Hanauma Bay snorkeling with Waikiki hotel pickup, round-trip shuttle, and quality gear. Budget $25 cash park entry for Oahu’s best reef.
“You have to leave way too early and there is a lot of waiting and wasted time. Not sure if it is worth the money. You still have to pay the $25 entry on top of what we paid the tour company.”
Snorkel and play on Oahu’s Kaneohe Sandbar with included gear, turtles, water toys, and snacks on a 2.5-hour afternoon cruise.
“We had a wonderful time on the sandbar/snorkeling experience. We were able to see lots of fish and a turtle during the snorkeling portion. It was our first time snorkeling and the team was very helpful and assisted us when needed. The sandbar portion was also fun. There were a lot of water toys and floats for us to enjoy and we even tried paddle boarding. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun afternoon activity with friends and family!”

Turtle Canyon snorkeling from Honolulu with new gear, Diamond Head views, sea turtles at the cleaning station, and snacks with juice.
“Charter Oahu was fantastic! This all woman crew is phenomenal! It was my mom and my first snorkeling experience! My mom can’t swim and the ladies did an amazing job at getting her in the water and helping her have an amazing experience. Please don’t even think about booking with another crew!”
Oahu 5-in-1 catamaran cruise from Pier E with turtle snorkeling, paddleboards, kayaks, and big water toys near Waikiki.
“Was taken out in deep water couldn’t see much under water. Wasn’t allowed to go past 100 feet of boat so that rendered kayaks and paddle boards useless. Staff didn’t notice one of our party struggling in the water. Had to be dragged back to the boat by a teenage kid. Water was choppy there were about 10 people out of the 40 aboard lying about miserably sea sick. Overall bad experience. Then they went on the loud speaker and told us they “expected” a tip and how much it should be.”
Waikiki turtle snorkeling from a stable Trimaran catamaran with gear, lifeguard, and a 2-hour sail for $99.

Waikiki turtle snorkeling in Turtle Canyon on a small catamaran with snorkel gear, drinks, and expert guides.
“We had such a good time! It was a little crowded but the crew did such a good job with crowd management and making sure we were safe. I would 100% do this again and with this company! Our crew was Eugy, Shawn, Blake & Ryan (I think that’s everyone!)”
3-hour Oahu dolphin cruise from Waianae with Makaha snorkeling, a 21-foot waterslide, lunch, and pickup options.
“I was a little scared to jump in the water on the first drop but I did it and it was incredible!! Just do it, you will not regret it! We seen a baby whale and tons of dolphins swim by us in the deep water. We also seen a few turtles and a bunch of colorful little fish!!”
Private 2-hour catamaran to Diamond Head and offshore Waikiki with snorkeling gear, wildlife sightings, and a BYOB cooler setup.
“Fantastic time. Great crew. Very knowledgeable. Went to a great spot to see turtles and other wildlife. Very pleasant and relaxing. Next time we are going to book for a longer time on water.”
Snorkel in Oahu’s Turtle Canyon with green sea turtles, clear-water reefs, and Waikiki views on a guided 3-hour cruise.
“We had a super great time. Until we didn't. The ocean was rough, and we paid the price. Seasick is not fun. The staff, snorkeling, and the spots they choose are awesome. Not their fault the sea was angry. Like an old man pushing his cold soup back at the deli. Dive Oahu on the other hand is pretty great. Take dramamine, ginger root, or something for seasickness, and go have fun with them.”
