    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!!'

    On our way to see turtles!!

    Absolutely incredible experience!! The crew was high energy and had just as much fun as the rest of us. Led us to a cool turtle spots where we saw tons of turtles, schools of BEAUTIFUL fish swimming around, and even saw some dolphins on the way back. So so much fun!

    This was a 10 out of 10 experience!!! The crew were the kindest and incredibly knowledgeable!!! Got to see so many turtles and fish throughout our snorkeling experience and even offered deep dives with our go pros so we could get even better footage. At the end of our snorkeling experience we even got to see pods of dolphins.

    My wife and I enjoyed the boat ride, the nighttime city skyline view from the ocean and exciting fireworks display! When you get in the boat, head straight up the ladder if you prefer to be you higher. We were on the first level. Before you leave the dock, watch at read of the boat for ox Jelyfish and other fishes. Its a possibility you'll see other fish in the lights behind the boat as well, on the ocean. They're drawn to the light. THANK YOU, OAHUA CHARTERS!

    Arriving at the snorkeling spot

    We booked a turtle snorkeling cruise with Charter Oahu and had such a wonderful time! I went with my husband, my sister-in-law and her fiancé, and my in-laws, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We saw so many turtles, both in the water swimming and ones that came up for air. The crew made everything fun, safe, and easy. My father-in-law, who is older, was even able to get into the water for a little bit thanks to the crew helping him in and out. My mother-in-law chose to stay on the boat, and the crew checked on her often, making sure she was comfortable and still part of the experience. They also shared tons of fun facts about the turtles and the different fish we spotted, which made the cruise even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu!

    See all

The bus arrived right on time, and our driver, Cheryl, was awesome and hilarious. Once we got to the boat, Captain Zach was fantastic, and Leilani, our lovely hula dancer, added such a special touch to the whole experience. From start to finish, we loved every single second. The crew was fun, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. We were even lucky enough to see whales, which made the trip extra unforgettable! I've told everyone I know about this experience and can't wait to come back and try the dolphin tour next time. This place is absolutely a 10 out of 10--highly recommend!

    This tour is very misleading online snd I want to make sure ppl know what they are signing up for…read more The staff was wonderful and very organized. But despite being called a "Dolphin and You" tour, there is only dolphin WATCHING from the boat -- no swimming with dolphins. They also only stop at one snorkel spot in shallow waters.m whereas most companies have you snorkel at 2. Maybe if I had never been on another tour, I would have thought this was good, but I'd only recommend this for people who want to mainly watch things from the boat and not snorkel. I honestly saw more marine life where I live in OC. On a previous tour with a different company, I swam in waters where dolphins were swimming all around and underneath me -- it was a core memory, and I was hoping to recreate that experience. They also don't let you swim very far from the boat, which made the experience feel overly restrictive. Because the website is not clear I will lay down the iternary: 6:00am pick-up from hotel (about 1.5 hrs to get there) Restroom stop at Fareharbor 1 hr dolphin watching--basically your just on a boat 1 hr snorkel--will see sparse fish 1 hr return--will give you sandwich and water cups no water bottles, temporary tattoo offered Return to hotel: another 1.5 hrs to drop everyone off etc Kind of waste of money $180+ and my precious vacation time. Also, be wary of the reviews. They offer incentives for leaving one. Sorry, but as a Yelp Elite, my honest opinion can't be bought.

We never felt rushed, and they made sure everyone had a chance to enjoy the moment. The boat was clean, well-organized, and the overall vibe was fun and relaxed.

We saw 13 sharks, up close, in their natural environment, and at no point did I feel unsafe. The crew clearly prioritizes safety while still delivering an adrenaline-filled, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you're nervous but curious..do it!

As first-time snorkelers traveling with a child, our experience did not align with those expectations. Equipment distribution was poorly handled. Masks were handed out with little to no instruction, and basic questions were met with a rude and dismissive attitude. Overall communication and service were lacking. Once in the water, guidance was minimal and inconsistent. The experience felt rushed and disorganized, with limited support for guests who were new to snorkeling. The tone and treatment we received also made us uncomfortable as Asian guests. After sharing feedback, the company clarified in writing that they do NOT advertise or position this as a beginner-friendly snorkeling tour. Based on both that clarification and our experience, I would strongly recommend that beginners or families looking for clear instruction and attentive guidance consider other operators. Sharing this to help future guests set accurate expectations before booking.
