It was quite confusing to find the meetup point at the beginning, but asking the hotel staff did help us getting there. We went on the high-tide day so needed to walk a bit from the usual boarding area. Probably helpful to remind people wearing slippers as you'd need to take shoes off. They did provide proper and plenty storage spaces for your footwear on the boat (appreciated!). Drinks were pretty much bottomless and they had their very own Mai Tai so you could really enjoy the 'complete Hawaiian package'! The only problem with high tide day, it meant be prepped to get wet and going on and off the boat would be quite tricky as you needed to manage timing to avoid the tide from getting you soaking wet. I was unfortunately not the pro and literally got half-bottom wet, getting off the boat LOL. Paid off by the gorgeous sunset view!!

We had the most incredible experience with Living Ocean Tours during our last visit to Oahu. 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!

My turtle snorkeling adventure was an unforgettable experience! We discovered the tour thanks to…read morethe sea scooters mentioned on the site, and we jumped on board a sunny Sunday at 10 AM. A quick tip: the website's address linked to the Dock Master Building, so make sure you double-check which letter the dock is--otherwise, you might end up at the wrong location. They are also a newer company so I didn't see any signs pointing out where they were. However I called and they came and found us and led us to where we needed to be! Once there, we were split into smaller groups, which made the experience feel personalized and manageable. Our guide, who even spoke another language for non-English speakers, was fantastic--constantly checking in to ensure we were all comfortable and tailoring the experience to our preferences. In general they had multiple guides and I heard several languages being spoken to accommodate the passengers! We encountered several turtles up close, and the amount of swimming throughout the tour was just right for a refreshing adventure. The guides all ensured everyone was safe--both humans and turtles! After swimming they had snacks that were very much needed to replenish after all the swimming we did. Overall, it was a well-organized and delightful tour that I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique snorkeling experience with a friendly, attentive crew.

The masks fogged up so badly they were completely unusable, making it impossible to actually enjoy snorkeling. When I politely brought these issues to the owner's attention, instead of offering any help or concern, he was rude, dismissive, and disrespectful. It was shocking how little he cared about the condition of his gear or his customers' experience. If you value your time, money, or even basic cleanliness, do not rent from this place. There are plenty of other businesses that take pride in their equipment and treat customers with respect.
