    Great vibe from the crew. If you're looking for a great family fun adventure with the kids, E Sea Diver puts it all together. The only downside is the popularity of this local snorkel, with many optional fun add ons, is the number of people on board. Tip: if you line up to board early, you get the opportunity to claim your cruising spot. I was with a family with kids from the mainland and our goal was to grab seating on the forward deck outside for the best Capt view during our cruise. My awesome wife also staked out a seat inside the cabin where the snack bar & restrooms are, to stash our beach bag & lunch cooler filled with our own beverages. Note: They have water and instant iced lemon tea with cups available. Also sweet & salty snack bars for all inside the main covered cabin. I enjoyed the boat ride! We were not disappointed with several distant but exciting whale blows, surfacing & whale tail waves along the way. The view of Wikiki and Diamond head was worth my price of admission. Note: You can book on line and select from 3 options; Boat ride observer only, Ride & Snorkel, Deluxe all inclusive ticket to participate in all the fun extra activities besides snorkel. Stand up paddle board, kayak, water slide and trampoline. I bought the snorkel that also allows you to jump off the upper deck if you so desire. I ultimately sat back and enjoyed watching everyone have fun. You can also buy a Groupon for this type of event. You'll enjoy their hospitality but be prepared to experience that tourist crowd kind of atmosphere. Four Fun Stars for a get what you pay for tourist-style adventure! Don't forget to bring your own beverages, sun block your feet first & the rest of your vulnerable spots! Also be patient, live the Aloha spirit and tip the hard working crew!

    This snorkeling experience was amazing! The crew was so friendly! Lilia was super nice and they have complimentary snacks and ice water and lemonade and more. Super clean yacht and super clean bathroom! All the vest and goggles are so clean. Great! Highly recommended! Saw lots of fish!

    Staff was great. Everything was clean and plenty of room! Got to have plenty of opportunities for all rides with snorkels and vests! So cool!

    Elsia ( Wednesday Halloween costume), Dillian, and Chad.... are an amazing group of people.... They went above and beyond to make our journey good. The only negative i had was there was 16 of us and to get us all on the boat one of us made reservations and paid for us all ( yes we all paid her back) Near the end of the trip there was a poster if you make a 10 second video and tag them you get a free meal at some food truck. We all did it and because it was just one party on reservation only a few of us got free meal. if we would of paid individually we would of all got free meals but because we did group we didnt. Bummer... Other then that I really enjoyed trip. Even saw a pod of dolphins

    See all

They also provide water on board, so there's no need to worry about bringing your own bottle. The captain was hilarious but also really informative. I've lived in Hawaii my whole life, and he was sharing history about the island that even I didn't know! It made the trip entertaining while also giving me a whole new appreciation for the place I call home. The views were beautiful, the crew made everyone feel welcome, and the whole experience was just a great time. Definitely something I'd recommend to both visitors and locals. All around a great experience -- 5 stars!

We only saw a few fish, so unfortunately the glass bottom portion wasn't very exciting for us. I wouldn't go into this expecting to see tons of marine life. Obviously what you see is going to depend on the day and conditions, but our trip was pretty quiet. That said, it was a really nice, relaxing hour out on the water. The guide was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable even though we didn't see much underneath the boat. Would I do it again specifically to see fish? Probably not. But if you want an easy, relaxing boat ride and don't want to get in the water, it's a nice way to spend an hour.

We had…read moregone to Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve on a prior trip, but had not done anything guided and did not have any luck seeing turtles (though it was still beautiful and we saw plenty of fish). My partner loves turtles, which is why we were so eager to find a memorable experience during our next trip. We found the Living Ocean Tours Turtle Canyon experience through Viator and paid about $80/person which we felt was incredibly reasonable. We saw prior reviews stating that the best time to go is early morning, so we decided to take the first boat out. This was honestly a pro tip as we were not only one of three small groups on the boat, but were also the first boat out to the canyon making the experience feel intimate and memorable! We met the amazing crew who were so knowledgable, friendly, and safety-savvy. The ride itself took about 15 minutes each way. Once we arrived, we felt totally confident swimming out with the provided snorkels, life jackets, and flippers after completing the safety lecture. The crew also emphasized protection of wildlife, instructing us to do our very best to stay 10 ft away or more from the turtles. At times, the turtles would come close to us without our knowledge, so we were also instructed on how to gently swim away when this occurred to maintain safe distance. We spent about an hour and a half total in the water, which was more than enough time to see loads of turtles. When it was time to return, we enjoyed complimentary snacks and drinks on the boat. Thank you Living Ocean Tours for providing us with the experience of a lifetime! We would recommend Living Ocean Tours to friends, family, or anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and immersive turtle viewing experience!

Lola was our main guide and not only was she well educated, attentive, and a great tour guide -- she also would go above and beyond to make your tour incredible. None of the other guides from other companies got off their boards, let alone free dove 40ft to try to get the reef shark to leave its rock so everyone could see it. She also provided many of our crew with their own free dive instruction so that they could try as well. Amazing trip, amazing sights, even better crew!

You'd relish the chance to recapture that thrill, if only for a moment! And that's why you'd want to book an evening catamaran with Holokai! The staff are incredibly accommodating to those with mobility issues...from the time you book, till you board ... then disembark. Not just one employee, but every employee, looks after your safety and enjoyment. Epic service! And if you're really lucky, there will even be enough wind for the crew to hoist the mainsail...and you'll spend at least part of the evening whizzing across the waves again! If there's a quibble with Holokai, their bar menu doesn't offer much for the Bourbon and Beer crowd. It leans too heavily into the "fruity drinks" side of things, at least for some in our party of four. Still, we whizzed crossed the waves once more...and that made us forget, at least for a moment, our aching knees and hips. Well done, Holokai! Mahalo!

Some logistics to know about: you can get validated parking at the Embassy Suites for $15 (4 hours). If you want free street parking, you'll need to come much earlier and give yourself extra time to get to check-in. Check-in itself is super easy annd it's inside the Outrigger near Monkeypod. The staff is genuinely kind and welcoming from the start. They give a quick safety talk and then walk you down to the boat You'll step into the water to board and you're not allowed to wear shoes, so honestly don't even bother bringing any. It's a catamaran with nets to sit on (my favorite spot) plus regular seating and plenty of space to move around. Unlimited drinks are included and the crew constantly checks in to see if you need anything. Both times I've gone we've seen whales, which feels so special! It is definitely choppy so if you get seasick easily this might not be your move. If you're a water baby though, you'll thoroughly enjoy this experience! It also gets windy, so bring a jacket. If you love being on the water, sunsets, and a fun but relaxed vibe, this is such a good option. Highly recommend!
