    We did the sunset cruise and it was amazing! Lex and Zoe were excellent and polite and I'd definitely recommend!

    Hubby and I had a great time on the sunset cruise. It was an all female crew which I loved and I loved how compassionate and kind they were once they realized I was legally blind based on cane. Truly made for a great time. The ladies understood how to help me board on and off the boat which I greatly appreciated. They offered light snacks and beverages. Alcohol was BYO. The timing was great and the ride was amazing. You can see the coast of Waikiki and Diamond head and on the way back to see actual sunset was gorgeous. They offer to take pictures of your couple and can move about the boat was nice. When you get to pier B, look for their trailer and hang out by it. Someone will be around to provide a we code to submit waiver before boarding and you will have to take shoes off so come in sandals for easier time. Enjoy the ride, the company and the view.

    We had an amazing time in this sunset cruise! The staff were very courteous and the boat was very clean. It was a nice laid back experience with beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the sunset!

    BEST snorkel experience in Oahu, amazing crew and people and the experience is like no other. They offer picture packages that are so worth it!

    Beautiful sunset views, the staff was amazing, and I would 100% recommend this experience!

    Great experience to have for a first time Hawaii trip. Loved watching my family have fun out there in the water with the turtles! I didn't get in the water because I get sea sick and did throw up but they are great. Gave snacks and drinks!

    Had an amazing experience with the crew of Snorkel 2! The staff was very helpful and kind, and was even willing to lend a hand when my friend felt seasick! They also did an amazing job at showing us all the cool spots with the turtles and the reefs! The group was small, so it was not too crowded ( expect for when all the other charter boats came on, but that could not be controlled by our crew!) Highly recommend this experience!!'

    AMAZING TIME!!! Got to swim with turtles, starfish, and fishies! Angelina took some amazing photos underwater, Zoe, Maddy & captain Bain were awesome too & little Luna with the snacks /refreshments! Will add more photos once I get them back, but this is pre-snorkel :)

    See all

I had the hesitation to book it due to the fact my son is on the spectrum and wasn't sure how he was going to react during the experience. Took the chance and made a reservation through Hawaii Ocean Sports. They took us on a boat to access the beautiful Sandbar. It's nestled in the middle of the ocean 3 miles stretch of sand. Unfortunately, we ended up doing the afternoon tour where high tides took place water level up to our necks. During our ride there, we were served lunch consisting of a turkey sandwich, fruits, and a cookie. Very filling as we were on to our destination while we listened to live music entertaining us along the way. Snacks, towels, drinks, and a bar are available for additional cost. As we approached the Sandbar, we were required to do a brief safety class before heading into the beautiful water. My kids and I were surprised how magnificent the Sandbar was. Definitely a true paradise where our dreams came true. I didn't think I would ever experience this kind of beauty. My son and I were terrified at first as we entered the water, but our life jackets saved us as we were floating. Lots of activities offered which are part of the package including SUP, kayaking, volleyball, snorkeling, or relaxing at the dock while sipping on drinks. We mainly enjoyed ourselves floating in the ocean. The current did get a little rough as it started to pour rain right before heading back to the marina. One advice is to head out early onto the boat before everyone does because the changing and bathrooms can get wet with dirty grounds. Music was blasting with great hits as we ended the day. Made my son and I stand up desiring to dance. Truly this is an unforgettable magical experience. You bet I will make a reservation again when we return to Oahu next year!

    We love snorkeling and were planning a trip to Oahu this month. We knew snorkeling on the North…read moreShore was out due to the high surf, so that left Hanauma Bay as our best opportunity. We know the state now has a lottery that requires you to sign up 2 days in advance, and the tickets go quickly. We did not want to risk not getting to go, so we booked an excursion, as they are given spaces for their guests.I checked the reviews and choices and booked with Hanauma Bay Snorkel Adventures several weeks before our trip. We know that mornings are best for water clarity and calmer surf - and we've found the fish tend to be more abundant in the AM, so we booked the morning slot. We received emails and were told the van would pick us up at our Waikiki hotel at 5:40 a.m. We were waiting a few minutes, and then the van came to our hotel. We climbed in, and with 2 other couples and the driver, we were off in the dark. First stop was their dive shop - on the way, on the other side of Diamond Head. Snorkel gear was distributed (we brought our own), and then we climbed into the van and drove a short distance to the Hanauma Bay entrance. We gathered as a small group and went into the park together (you'll bring $25 cash each person for the Hanauma Bay ticket - not included in the excursion payment). There is a mandatory short movie (around 15 minutes) that is primarily a primer to keep the reef and marine life safe. We took the free tram down to the bay (you can also walk - a bit of a steep hill). They have bathrooms with changing stalls at the beach. We were on the beach as the sun's first rays shone across the bay - it was a beautiful morning. We got in 3 separate snorkel sessions going out into zone 2 (through the buoys and past the first reef) where it's deeper, and we saw greater numbers of fish. If this is your first time snorkeling or you are less experienced, I would caution you to check with the lifeguards on the beach before doing this.About 3 hours later, it was time to pack up, and we took the tram to the top, where we waited a few minutes with the group we traveled with in the morning. Our van showed up and drove us straight back to our hotel. We very much enjoyed the day, but honestly would have preferred to be on our own so we could choose when we wanted to leave. But for many who visit Oahu and stay in Waikiki, this is a good way to snorkel at Hanauma Bay. NOTE: I do see a number of reviews that speak of rude staff and substandard transportation. Fortunately for us, we did not experience any of that on our trip.

    No. Don't. Before you try to book this company, better do your own research or you'll end up…read moregetting bitter and expensive experience like us. We booked this company since we couldn't get reservation at Hanauma Bay. So this is the only option to enjoy Hanauma Bay with transportation BUT you still have to purchase Hanauma Bay tickets at the ticket counter BY YOURSELF. And depending on the time and hour, the wait can range between 30 minutes to 2 hours. So the point I'm trying to get across is BOOK YOUR HANAUMA BAY TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME so you don't have to purchase from any third party company. Second issue. is the driver. Unfortunately we had such a RUDE, IMPATIENT, and DISRESPECTFUL DRIVER, JAMES. I had two teenagers kids with me who unfortunately were late by 5 minutes by the time he picked us up. You know what he did/said? He made rude and degeratory comments, jokes all the way from the moment we sat down until he dropped us off. Also, this guy has a short temper problem for sure. The way he drives endangered the passengers. During the trip, somebody stopped in front of him and pissed him off. The guy ended up whipping out his phone and taking picture of him. Not long after that, two ladies were trying to cross the street, he didn't look carefully and almost hit them, then he got angry for no reason and gave them a hand. Those were just uneventful experiences that we witnessed along with 8 other passengers who sat inside the van. After reading all the one review from this company, there are some people who got irritated by the driver named James as well. I know I'm not alone. We still had an awesome time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay regardless this awful experience with the driver. Mind you we paid a lot for this transportation service for total of three people. But what's more painful is the feeling you received after someone made you feel less by his degeratory and sarcastic jokes in front of family and strangers.
