This was my very first snorkelling trip and I can't wait to go back! We saw five sea turtles and got as up close as legally allowed. The water was gorgeous and clear. We saw lots of fish and even had spinner dolphins jumping around the boat. Oh and saw a whale and her little one off in the distance.... More

I have wanted to snorkel with Sea Turtles for as long as I can remember. When me and some friends went out on Isalan Magic, it was absolutely amazing. Beautiful ride to snorkel spot, LOTS of turtles! The crew was very kind and helpful and funny! If I am ever in Hawaii again I will, without a doubt be using... More

I have been on the snorkeling cruise three times now, once in November 2011 and twice in November 2012. Captain Stephen is a great guy, safety was a high priority. A crew member actually goes in the water with you takes photos and generally makes sure that you don't stray too far away from the boat. Snorkels and masks are... More

We had never snorkeled before but the crew was kind, helpful, reassuring and knowledgeable. The tour consisted of a short boat ride to a sea turtle feeding site with plenty of time there to see a variety of fish, octopus, starfish and of course sea turtles. The sea turtles swam right near us. My husband even had a near face... More

My friends and I found this activity on Groupon. Unfortunately the day we went out was rainy and cold. The drive to Kewalo Basin Harbor is about 15 minutes from Waikiki. The washroom stalls here DO NOT have doors (at least not when I went) so if you aren't comfortable using the toilet like that, I suggest you use the... More

We bought a groupon for this excursion and really enjoyed the ride. The water was calm and the weather was perfect the day we went. They really do go out of their way to make sure you experience ocean life. Husband got to hold a star fish and swim with sea turtles! So jealous I missed out as I had... More

A very basic snorkel cruise, short 15 minutes to the snorkel spot, you are then giving a snorkel and mask but no fins, the location is filled with lots of fish and turtles and is called a cleansing station as the fish clean the turtles of anything attached to them. We took the morning cruise and had plenty of time... More

We looked at various snorkeling adventures before seeing a Groupon for this one. So great and I would definitely pay full price for it next time! The parking meter is terrible though (not including this in rating or anything just want people to know!) It's rusty and old and you have to roll up dollar bills to pay. We apparently... More

Since I was going to be visiting family in Honolulu for a week, I decided to check out the Groupons to see what was available. When I came upon the snorkling cruise, I thhought "why not"? It was a blast! Crash and Chris were friendly, funny, but most importantly, professional. They are there to have fun and to ensure all... More
