Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Great Snorkeling Experience!

Reviewed by: John and Judy

The crew aboard the catamaran was terrific, fun and entertaining! We would recommend experiencing this snorkel excursion in the morning, as the fish and turtles seemed to be more active earlier in the day. We had snorkeled in the same vicinity a couple of days before in the afternoon, and the sea creatures seemed to be less active then.

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay

Amazing, unique experience.

Reviewed by: Sesame family

The Manta Discovery tour was overall, super cool and a definite must-do if you’re planning to visit Hawaii’s big island. Depending on the day, the number of mantas will differ, so don’t expect to see ten of them when you go. If there are rays around, they will do flips and aren’t afraid to swim right up to you, which is an AMAZING experience. The mantas are really friendly, and make the activity almost magical. The crews are very informative and friendly.

Great crew great adventure great location

Reviewed by: Cathi

The crew was great. I was only in the water for about 10 minutes. I was struggling and a little nervous but very quickly I was asked if I needed help by a blonde female ( forgot her name) she was very calm which calmed me down and guided me back to the boat

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides

Awesome experience!

Reviewed by: Collette

Our guides were friendly and provided great information about the sharks local to the area. Totally recommend taking Dramamine the night before and the day of the dive as the water was a little choppy. We got to see about a dozen Galapagos sharks during our dive and even got to see a whale.

What an amazing adventure aboard the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed exploring a part of Oahu that most people don’t get to see and are excited you saw some astonishing marine life! That is truly a lifetime experience only few can witness. We're also happy to hear the staff was informative and nice. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and taking part in the Aloha spirit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).

90-Min Morning Whale Watching Cruise with Transportation from Waikiki [Dec-Apr]

Good tour for end of season

Reviewed by: 49A Fam

We had a nice day on the whale watch tour. Though we only saw one humpback, the captain and crew made every effort to ensure we got to see it as many times as possible. We also got to see several pods of spinner dolphins and even a couple sea turtles on our way into the Harbor.
As it was so late in the whale migration season, the tour was probably as good as could be expected.
We appreciated that they served granola bars and lemonade on the boat and the crew was very friendly.

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Eric

We booked our tour not knowing quite what to expect. We were absolutely blown away. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and hilarious. I was new to snorkeling and nervous (i had approximately 1 hour practice messing around on a local beach) but i immediately knew i was in good hands with the crew and there was always a crew member close enough so i could relax. Words cannot explain seeing these amazing creature swim inches from you. The rays were super active the night we went and put on quite a show. I think the topper for me was a few days after our tour we saw a crew member at a local farmers market and he remembered us and came up and spoke to us about our experience. I absolutely recommend doing this because we will do it again next trip.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Pleasant, relaxing

Reviewed by: Oscareen

The crew was awesome! The snorkeling was a great experience. Yes, it’s VERY EARLY in the morning, but with the air temperature being cooler, the water feels warmer, which is a plus.
Saw many different kinds of fishes, and a turtle and an octopus.
It was relaxing just floating there and watching the ocean life.

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

World of the Blue Sea 青い海の世界

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

I participated in the 9 AM departure. At the check-in counter, I was welcomed in Japanese. Everything else was in English. In the photos of the submarine on the website, there were audio guide earphones provided, but there were no headphones, possibly due to infection control measures. Even though I didn't understand English, I was glad to have met the sea turtles and fish. The view from the submarine was a world of blue sea, and I couldn't distinguish the colors of the fish well, except for yellow.

As a measure against infections, all passengers were required to wear masks. For those who didn't have masks, there were supplies available. The crew sanitized the submarine windows with alcohol during the exchanges.

The weather was nice, and there weren't many waves, so it was good that there was little rocking. The view from the boat before boarding the submarine was also lovely.

朝9時出発に参加しました。チェックインカウンターでは日本語で歓迎してくれました。それ以外は英語でした。サイト内の潜水艦の写真では、音声ガイドのイヤホンが置かれていましたが、感染症対策の為かヘッドホンはついていませんでした。英語はわからなくても、ウミガメやお魚たちに会えたので、行って良かったと思いました。潜水艦からの眺めは青い海の世界で、魚は黄色以外は色の違いがよくわかりませんでした。
感染症対策として、乗船者は全員マスク着用です。マスクを持っていない人には、用意された物がありました。潜水艦の窓は、入れ替えの時にクルーの方がアルコール消毒をしていました。
天気もよく波もあまりない日でしたので、揺れも少なくてよかったです。潜水艦に乗る前の船からの眺めも素敵でした。

Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour - Small-Group Adventure from Keauhou Bay

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed by: Keller Family

Would you like to make amazing memories in Kona? Our family had such an unforgettable experience with Dolphin Discoveries swimming with several enormous manta rays! Wow! Just wow! We planned our trip to Kona because we wanted to experience snorkeling with Manta Rays, so we had high expectations and hopes! We selected Dolphin Discoveries from reviews online and because it was the best deal around. All of the companies were in the same location - but we really enjoyed the experience with Shelly and crew! Eagerly attentive to all of the guests, they made sure everyone was getting the most out of their experience! In true Aloha fashion, they even helped out another company nearby while we were on the water! Book with Dolphin Discoveries and you will be so glad you did!!

Maui Submarine Tour by Atlantis Adventures - Temporarily Not Available

First submarine ride for my family and me.

Reviewed by: Jaime

The experience was one for the books, I took my 2, 5, and 7 years old. The year-old was super excited about all the cool fish he saw. The 5-year-old attention span was about ten minutes, after that he was just out of it. The 2-year-old was looking for mermaids. So overall it was a success.

Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

Sea Turtles AND DOLPHINS! AMAZING!

Reviewed by: Matt

Well what can I say? The team was kind and answered any and all questions we had. We were promised sea turtles and we got just that. Getting to swim atleast 1.5meters away from the turtles as the came to the surface multiple times. Being able to observe multiple sea turtles swimming around the depths and the various fish of the reef. To wrap up an already amazing and special experience, we also got a lengthy surprise visit from a family of dolphins swimming up close and personal to the catamaran as we headed back to the harbour. Like I said, what can I say?! Definitely recommended to all who are interested. 5/5

I would, hands down, do this again!

Reviewed by: Ashley

I would, hands down, do this again. The crew was amazing, friendly and great with the 2 kids my group had with (ages 1 and 3). My son did snuba, said it was awesome and the instructor was great and friendly, easy to chat with. The Captain stopped to let us see whales (baby, mom and escort), it was absolutely great. There was a very knowledgeable crew member who gave tid bits of facts throughout the tour and another crew member who helped point out turtles a well as gave pointers for going under the water. Food was good too. Nothing fancy, but it did not disappoint. Not to mention mai tais were delicious. Can't wait to book again!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Pretty good, but short & crowded

Reviewed by: Laura

The staff was very friendly. We did see multiple turtles & fish. We were taken to a small area with 5 other boats so swimming in the water was like walking through Disneyland. People were kept in a very small area. They said 60 mins of swimming but it felt closer to 45 mins, maybe. If you want to see coral and explore freely, this is not the tour for you. If you want to see some turtles and fish this is a nice starting point. They offer 3 alcoholic beverages which are impossible to drink on the short return home and none are permitted prior to snorkelling. We only got this one b/c others were sold out, but if you really want those beverages be prepared to drink fast ;-). I wouldn't do this one again.
