We saw more whales on this tour than any other company. It's the absolute best! If you're looking for a fun family friendly day on the water look no further. We booked with Go City pass, and it was dope, coming back for the snorkeling after doing a whale watching tour. Amos, Naia, Emilee were amazing. The jury still out on Kingston read more

They took such great care of us!! the staff are so hard working and caring, and we got to see a turtle!! Jake was the goat

Was mine and my girlfriend's first time snorkeling, the Honolulu Snorkel Co. team is awesome! Special thanks to Danny (perfect volume voice), Avery, Cam, and Capt. Jack for helping us with fitting our gear and making sure we didn't incur a $5000 fee for touching a turtle. Highly recommend this place if you're trying to snorkel and have a great time doing it. read more

staff was really friendly and helpful! specially staff member Eve! i would definitely recommend this snorkel adventure

We had a great time snorkeling with their professional crew. Lots of fish and turtles to be seen. We had a small incident where the shackle of the tie down we connected to snapped after the boat had been secured. The captain caught the error quickly and remained calm and collected while instructing the crew to move promptly to avoid any further issues. They extended our snorkel to make up for any lost time and went above and beyond to ensure the participants where happy and cared for. They even let my 5 year old hop on a surf board with the crew to spot turtles on the surface when she decided she was over the snorkeling. read more

My friend and I came to Oahu for spring break and this was honestly our favorite excursion! We did both the whale watching and snorkel tours with Emily, Avery, Christina, and Captain Jeff. Avery and Emily were super knowledgeable about whales. Christina was an amazing snorkeling guide-she was super helpful and was able to point out all of the sea life! We saw whales, dolphins, fish, and so many turtles. Captain Jeff was super safe and nice, and he brought along his dog Korra (who is absolutely adorable and sweet), which made the rides even better! read more

all staff on board was amazing !! the vibe is very easy going and they're more than welcome to help. also very knowledgeable of the sea life and snorkeling. special shoutout to Eve. read more

This was our second time snorkeling with Honolulu Snorkel Co. and it was even better than the first time which we enjoyed. Today we saw over 12 turtles and 3 of them surfaced near us which was magical. The captain and crew were professional and fun. Special shout out to Ace who facilitated a fantastic time in the water and communicated well when we needed to move as a group to different parts of the ocean. Would recommend doing this! read more

It was a wonderful experience. We had the 7:45am snorkeling adventure with Aiden. The entire crew was funny, pleasant and very helpful. Would definitely recommend for swimmers of any level. They took us to the perfect spot where there were large amounts of fish and a large family of turtles. read more

Amazing tour! I cannot say enough good things about this company. We used their snorkel gear and life jackets to snorkel in electric beach and shark's cove on day-1 and booked their turtle bay tour for day-2. The price was very affordable and they had all necessary rentals available on the boat. You can get the sea sickness tablets, wet suits and go pros for rental at the shop before your board your boat. We loved the experience and would highly recommend you to book their tour. The guides will take you to the exact spot where you can find turtles and keep pointing towards turtles and nice colorful fish. PS: I suggest you book the earliest slot because it can get really crowded at the spot after 10 am. read more

It was overall a fun experience. You'll be taken out to an area where other tour boats also stops.They have flotation devices to help so not to worry if you're not a strong swimmer. The water was murky but we did see some turtles The crew was nice and you can also book a 1/1 guide to help with your snorkeling experience. Our guide Avery, was very helpful. read more

These guys are AMAZING. So informative, so kind, so smart, and SO FUN! We happened to go out on a day when the water was very clear. We saw dolphins, a whale, a pod of 8 turtles, an eagle ray, an eel, and hundreds of fish. It was insane! That part of the experience is based on luck- but either way they made the experience so great. They were very knowledgeable and took us to a great spot to snorkel. They were even diving down with other people's GoPros to take videos of the sea life. Overall it was a great experience, I'd love to go again! read more

Everything went well. It was all all I had hoped it would be. Our group swam with beautiful fishies, and saw lots of sea turtles. We were led by a fun, sharp crew who knew how to make it a great time by being professional, safe, and fun. I would 100% go again....and again, and again with this company and team. The crew was Holly, Daniel, and Captain Jeff (with 2 awesome doggies to boot). Thanks! read more

Great time doing the turtle snorkeling! Jeff was a great captain and Audrey and Danny were super helpful. Danny was our tour guide and he made sure we were both safe and had a good time.

My fiance and I did a snorkel cruise together. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. They were very kind and took their time explaining how to use the equipment, they also always offer to take photos while you're on the cruise as well. We did go off-season so it wasn't very crowded. Which was nice. we were able to see many sea turtles and fish on our excursion. Both of us did get slightly sea sick, so I'd recommend Some motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting sea sick prior to your excursion. We did this part of the oahu go pass and had a great time. Would recommend this place to our friends. read more

We took this tour Labor Day Saturday , after another snorkel company cancelled on us! Luckily Honolulu Snorkel had a tour leaving at 8am. Needless to say they saved my morning. The entire staff was very friendly, and they got us on the boat quickly, efficiently and the boat looked/felt very clean. There are no shoes allowed and they store your shoes in a big cabin I don't know any of the names of the crew, but it was a tiny girl with blonde hair , two helpful young men, and an African American captain. After we got to the site, we stationed, and the instructions were very implicit . I believe we were the only tour with an actual snorkel guide, cause it seemed like every other group that was out there was wandering around aimlessly. To make matters better our tour guide, which was the little blonde girl, kept pointing out where the turtles were. She even took our GoPro and got a little bit closer because we could not dive down very far. There was another group (not with us) that was trying to touch / get near the turtles and she ended up having to warn them that she will report them to the authorities if they don't stop messing with the turtles. Towards the end of the tour, we got a little bit closer to Diamondhead and was able to take photos. Overall an outstanding tour co and will definitely book with them again. They are reliable, professional, and care about the environment. As a bonus every Saturday, there is a farmers market happening in the parking lot of the harbor so you can walk right over there after you take your tour with Honolulu snorkel . Mahalo! read more

Captain Maxine, Holly, and Marcus were absolutely wonderful on our super exciting snorkel adventure on boat Lola! Can only highly recommend.

We loved Honolulu Snorkel Company! If you are looking for an easy and fun Oahu activity. You should book with them. We were a party of 11, 2 children, and 1 senior and visiting from Southern California. We felt engaged, heard some tidbits of information, and had a great experience. We were guided by Captain Jeff, hunter, Luna, and Lex. We were all renamed, Lola...the shower girl and I thought this was brilliant. Since you're in the water and can be called specifically for safety and guiding you to see the fish and turtles. We were a lucky group since we saw and swam near 2 turtles. I was about 5 ft away and the beautiful creature was huge. Also, able to hold a sea urchin!!!! Thanks, Luna Overall, easy and fun experience, the only thing which I know is normal, some might feel seasick after swimming. Remember, you are in a current, all the salt, and swimming around; when you have no balance can and will do that. Great thing after, they had ginger candy on the boat which helped immensely. Wonderful team and we enjoyed their company! read more

The crew was awesome. I liked them a lot. My problem was that some people came to check in late, which pushed us out 15-20 minutes. So we lost snorkel time due to that. There's an early check in time for a reason so I don't think they should have taken them and caused the rest of us to loose out. The only other issue was that there were so many tours at the same place so it was very crowded and hard to actually swim around without bumping into people all the time. read more

First timers in Hawaii. It was a very nice experience, everyone was pleasant and fun, but what really put it over the top for us was Johnny and his above and beyond customer service. My mom is handicapped, and while she can walk with a cane, she is very unstable on a boat, plus she was very afraid to get in the water. Johnny very patiently talked to her and encouraged her to get in, helped her in every way imaginable. He got her in the water and tried his very best to get her to stay. And when she ultimately decided to get back on the boat for the remainder of the excursion, he was the one who got her back on safely. Super caring, patient, and truly a class act guy. Thanks Johnny! read more

Would book again with Honolulu Snorkey Company :) read more

My girlfriend surprised me with a snorkeling trip for my birthday, and we went out with Honolulu Snorkel--couldn't have asked for a funner and beginner friendly experience.

Great folks at Honolulu Snorkel. We had initially booked with a company that cancelled. Luna, Christina and Captain Hottie with great taste in music were safe, fun and friendly. Our group was diverse, everyone learned something and enjoyed the gorgeous water. Highly recommend:) read more

Such a wonderful outing while our family visited Honolulu! Marcus, Danny and the rest of the crew did an awesome job with keeping our safety while on board. We had two non-swimmers and a 1yr old on board who also enjoyed their time even if they weren't able to get in the water! We're got to see so many sea turtles, fish, and had such an enjoyable time! The check in was easy and simple, and's all the equipment that came with the reservation was great! Would do again! read more

Honolulu Snorkel - Sea turtle - Snorkeling Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Myself, husband, & 3 kids were here 7/5 on the 10:15am trip and this was our first ever time snorkeling. I want to give a huge kudos to the 4 ladies who were hosting our group, because they were AMAZING! Mind you, we have an 8, 9 & 3 year old so it was kind of hard trying to get everyone situated on & off the boat but the captain really helped us so much with everything the whole trip went smooth and fun!! They got us to a great location where we were able to see a lot of turtles and fishes! My family and I enjoyed the whole experience. My parents are coming in next month and I'm already telling them to book with Honolulu snorkel company! I personally would recommend renting the GoPro if it is your first time and you'd want to capture everything. But if you have a water proof phone case then you're fine. I just wanted to make sure I didn't drop my phone to the bottom of the ocean and record everything on the boat and off. My husband and I aren't professional swimmers, so we had the inflatable life jacket & the "banana" wrapped around us to feel more comfortable swimming. Another tip, we came here at least an hour and a half before our reservation, because we had to look for parking. We came here on a Saturday, the other side of the parking lot had a farmers market, so you might want to go earlier to find parking. BOOK WITH HONOLULU SNORKEL COMPANY! read more

The crew of the LOLA was awesome guides took very good care of the 30 or so people that decided to take this guided snorkeling tour. We talked to them about my sons medical supplies (type 1 diabetic) and they offered to put his medical bag next to all the crew personal bags so his supplies didnt get wet etc while we were in the water. Will definitely re-book this crew if I go back to the island. 10 out of 10 great job LOLA read more
