    We had a great time on the Oahu catamaran. We came out for the sunset cruise and fireworks, and then again to snorkel with sea turtles. The staff on the boat is super friendly, and the boat is really clean. I highly suggest going on either cruise. And the two boats dogs were the cherry on top!

    Amazing sunset sail. Captain Krash was great and Lucy was extra sweet and the care and respect the crew gave to the ocean made it extra special. And of course Sushi- love that dolphin dog!! Great eve and extra amazing with sealife and turtle spotting and seeing the lantern fest from the water. Highly recommend.

    The friendliest crew always ensures that you enjoy yourself and stay safe during the entire trip. This was our second time in two years on this boat with captain Krash and his sidekick ' sushi' the dog. We saw many turtles and fish the entire time we were at the cleaning station!! Would highly recommend this trip for beginners and seasoned snorkelers alike.

    Absolutely unforgettable sunset cruise! The views were stunning, the crew was friendly, and the whole experience was peaceful yet fun. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting! Ps : Sushi was my favorite crewman

    Captain Crash is super friendly and George his first mate genuinely nice guy and the dog Sushi comes on every sail! We did the two hours sunset cruise and they offered a fresh fruit platter, hummus with pita chips, fresh vegetables, snack size bags of potato chips, cheese, and salami and prosciutto and crackers and waters and sodas all complimentary! Captain pointed out a monk seal as well as a giant sea turtle. They took the time to feed some fish while we stopped near Diamondhead for a photo ops and sunset pictures! I'm pretty sure I've used them in the past before this trip because Captain crash was very familiar to me! I love that it's BYOB, it's the best bang for your buck for sure. I think it was $44 for a two hour sunset cruise. Another plus the boat is almost brand new , very beautiful and they only sail with 28 people even though it holds 49. highly recommend don't -miss these friendly crew.

    This was such a beautiful tour!! The sunset ride is by far the most beautiful view of Honolulu and I highly recommend this tour. Krash the captain and Anna the co-captain were incredible and so sweet from start to finish. They did a phenomenal job at making us feel safe, excited and apart of Hawaii culture. They also have a beautiful pup on board named Sushi and she made the experience so adorable. We love a boat dog! Will be coming back to visit. (Jan the owner and her husband were also very kind and we appreciate them very much for this opportunity to see Honolulu this way!!) MAHALO!

    The crew made this such a memorable experience with the family. Captain Crash played great music and got us to the best spots for photos, Carlos was an amazing friendly host and offered to take photos of us, then Sushi (the dog) was so friendly and cute. It's BYOB and they offer a yeti cooler and ice to keep your alcohol chilled. For snacks, they offer charcuterie, cookies, chips and refreshments water, juice, and sodas. They load the boat from the dock, so it does make it easier for older folks to get on the boat versus loading from the beach at Waikiki. They also have a lot nearby which you can pay for Parking, which makes it super convenient, especially for Waikiki. There were seats for 28 people comfortably although they did say the boat usually has a capacity of 50

    What a FUN evening aboard the catamaran! Krash and his crew were awesome! We saw amazing views, turtles, fish and the most beautiful sunset! The boat was full of yummy appetizers , snacks and desserts! SO worth it and so happy we took this sunset cruise! I would recommend to anyone going to Waikiki! This is a MUST!

    This BYOB sunset cruise was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for in Oahu.. chill vibes, beautiful views, and an incredibly kind and fun crew. Captain Carlos and Joe were not only professional, but also warm, attentive, and made sure everyone felt welcome and relaxed the entire time. A huge highlight for me was Mana, the sweet and very well-behaved catamaran dog. She added such a unique and calming presence to the experience. I absolutely loved observing her as she lounged and watched over everything like the boat's honorary first mate. The music set the perfect tone for the evening, and the light appetizers were a delicious bonus. Everything was thoughtfully curated to enhance the relaxed, joyful vibe of the cruise. Joe checked in often and was super helpful. Highly, highly recommend this sunset cruise. I'll definitely be doing it again the next time I'm back in Oahu. A perfect evening from start to finish!

We did the turtle tour on 5/13 at 8:30 in the morning. They teach everyone how to use the given gear, they antifog the goggles beforehand and sanitize all the gear well afterwards. They have snacks, water, and ginger ale. We saw two turtles within a couple arms lengths at the surface (you can't touch them but gosh they were so close!). We also saw about seven turtles chilling on the bottom. Tons of reef fish swimming so close to us too. The crew makes sure to point out turtles so you don't miss them. It was my first time in open water and the crew was welcoming from the start. They separate the groups so if you can't swim or are not great at swimming, you can stay back and hold onto a blue mat in the water where they teach you and help you feel comfortable in open water first. Even though I vomited afterwards (yes I took plenty of motion sickness medication ahead of time!), I highly recommend the experience. It's unlike anything else. The crew is so funny, they normalized not being able to swim well or motion sickness so you don't feel embarrassed. They get in the water with you (not all crews do!) and were super attentive, and encouraging. I felt safe enough that I was able to learn, get confident in the water and join the others and I still felt like I had plenty of great snorkeling time. Overall, GREAT company for actually seeing turtles! GREAT for inexperienced swimmers and people who get motion/sea sickness! If you're determined, you can still do it. The crew made me feel safe the entire time! You've got this, you only live once!

    Fun 5/5 Snorkeling 4/5…read more Service 5/5 Informative from staff in safety 5/5 Price for value and time 5/5 Overall 5/5 Wow you guys are truly amazing. I didn't even get off the boat and my son already asked me "can we come back to this same boat again next time!" From the gate B, which is your entrance, make sure you read your additional info after your confirmation email, especially if you are taking a Uber or Lyft, or else you can get dropped off at the main area and have to walk and find gate B! It's a long walk if you do not specify, our u er drive was the one that asked me, what gate sir, or else you have a long walk. Thank god he asked us! So from the gate to the entire experience, it can be overwhelming, it's a lot to do, it's a ton of fun. I rated 4/5 for the snorkeling because it's open ocean vs doing this inside a "bay" You first get a cruise down the waters and learn about the city and the captain t Story tells you a lot of history and the buildings while we are cruising and then we turn around to the play and snorkeling areas! Wow! But knowing my kids they want to also PLAY! Thais is the boat, you have a water trampoline, a water floating board that you legit can lay on or stand on and play balance and or just lay, and a huge slide!!!!! Wow! And drink and snacks are included! We didn't even get a chance to grab a beer! lol (for additional $ on your own) Just look at the view and the photos. So this entire experience is just 5/5 We booked through TripAdvisor. This is 100% recommend, since this is also at open ocean, it's easier if you can swim and not afraid of the waters. They do offer life jackets and self blown floatation vests, your choice. Must do!!!!! See you next time!

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.

    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.
