The snorkeling was such a blast we saw several turtles and a ton of fish. The crew were such a pleasure to be around every one of them was nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was small but that was the best part because then we had a much more intimate experience and were able to feel comfortable with our crew(not hard they were all so nice). We were out for over an hour but could hang out on the boat and reenter the water whenever we felt like. The boat had a nylon strap front you could sit on and get wet which we did on our way back to shore after the snorkeling. It was a great relaxing and fun time. Definitely would recommend this company because the price is great, the crew was amazing and the trip was not overly packed.

The experience from the shuttle pick up/drop off to guidance and snorkeling are exceptional and amazing. We experienced as it detailed on the booking website.
After booking, I received the picture of the pickup location which is easy to find. Keep your eye to find the shuttle van, he parked across the street when there were 3 coach bus parked in front of the entrance. The van showed up on time and could fit up to 14 people. The van is clean, comfortable seating, and good AC. The driver introduced the Electric Beach and talked about the places.
After dropping off, the driver introduced Jose and Jorge who were the snorkeling guides. They are very friendly and acknowledged. One of my friend did not confident to swim in the ocean, but she trusted Jose and went to the water with us. Jose and Jorge made sure everyone stick together under their guidance. All the gears (snorkeling masks, fins, life jackets, jet machines) were provided. Jorge had his GoPro to record the fun moment and shared to us at the end.
My group loves this experience as many of us had no swimming experience but Jose and Jorge made it easy, fun, and safe.

ハワイに行くならウミガメに会いたい!といろんなツアーを比較し、口コミをたくさん読み比べ、所要時間や費用なども調べた結果、ここが総合的に1番良さそうで予約しました。(*基本的には英語なので、英語の聞き取りが不安な方は、日本語スタッフのいるツアーが安心かなと思います)
結果、ウミガメ5-6匹ほどに会うこともでき、魚も沢山いて、スタッフの方々も陽気で楽しいたちで、このツアーにして良かったなと思いました。
わたしは帰りに船酔いして見れなかったですが、イルカやクジラもいたようでした!
他の方も書いている通り、当日は30-40名と参加者は多かったものの、日本人は自分たちだけでした。
スタッフは全員現地の方なので、日本的なホスピタリティや日本語説明は求められないですが、現地感を味わえ、カジュアルな雰囲気を楽しめるのでおすすめです。
当日は運良く日本語を少し話せる現地のスタッフがいました。海に入る時にこわくて階段から手を離せないでいると「こわい?」「大丈夫?」など声かけしてくれて、「船戻りたい?」など確認してくれました。私はどうしてもウミガメを見たかったので「こわいけど海には行きたい」と無茶を言ったところ、慣れるまで手をつないで一緒に泳いでくれて、浮きクッションを貸してくれました。(途中で高齢の方が体力的に厳しくなって船に戻るため、そのクッションはお返ししましたが、その頃には海にも慣れて1人で泳げるようになっていました!)
船酔いしやすい体質で、当日は風が強かったので、事前に薬を飲んでいましたが、帰りに船酔いを起こし2回ほど吐きました。トイレがあったのでなんとか大丈夫でしたが、船酔いする方は当日の天候次第では要注意です。(ちなみにトイレは簡易的なもので、紙は流せない&自分でポンプを上げ下げして流すトイレでした)
初シュノーケリングで、ほぼ泳げないので不安でしたが、ウミガメをみれて感動しました。ほんとにこのツアーに参加して良かったです。素敵なスタッフの方に感謝です。

From beginning to end the crew made everything easy, relaxing, fun and super special!!!! They were excellent with giving instructions and support to make us feel confident and comfortable in the water. The special attention to my 8yo daughter was above and beyond! We saw lots of turtles and beautiful fish. Kainoa even took my daughter around on the surf board and back to the boat when she needed a break so I could keep swimming! I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! We want to do it again!!!!

Overall the experience was amazing! It was a first for both my husband and I and the kids. The crew did a fantastic job. They provided clear instructions, ensuring we were all safe and had many opportunities to see the sea turtles among a plethora of wildlife along the reef. I would not hesitate to book this again.
I do think it was a bit disorganized with adults and children going down the ladders and then needing to come right back up, leaving patrons that had not had a chance to get in the water a 10 min leg time.
Also, a female crew member was wearing a thong bikini bottom which I have no problem with - wear one!! However, the male crew members continued to smack her bottom or spray it with the defogger. I’m not sure that the female crew member cared but definitely not acceptable now a days!

We were worried about the distance to Turtle Island, but it was close enough that there were no problems. The ship's departure point was Waikiki Beach, making it very easy to find. We enjoyed ourselves without realizing the passage of time, watching many fish and turtles. The friendly staff guided us safely and helped us see the turtles better. It was fantastic! Refreshing drinks and great music added to the atmosphere.

We had the best time ever with this snorkeling adventure. My husband doesn't really like snorkling but does it just for me. With our new personal snorkel gear and the fantastic friendly crew , he said this was the first time he enjoyed it. The weather was perfect and the turtles were amazing. We will definitely use Moana catamaran next time we come to Honolulu.

The snorkelling was as expected - lots of people, and commercial but we got to check off swimming with sea turtles off our bucket list on our final day on the island
Gear was clean and in great condition. The boat was immaculate and the drinks were flowing and the adult ones were strong!!

I initially signed up for a turtle snorkeling tour, but it turned out to be so much more than that. It transformed into the most unforgettable whale watching adventure of our lives! We were fortunate enough to witness over 20 humpback whales just off the coast of Waikiki. It was truly a breathtaking sight.
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the flexibility in the itinerary. The fact that we were given the opportunity to dedicate some time to whale watching before snorkeling made the experience even more remarkable.
I wholeheartedly recommend the private Catamaran experience to anyone passing through Honolulu. The combination of the stunning natural beauty and the outstanding service provided by your team made it an unforgettable journey.
Thank you once again for creating such a memorable experience. I look forward to sharing this recommendation with friends, family, and fellow travelers.

We were a group of 11, and everyone voted this the best activity of our time in Waikiki.
Book early in your trip, as we were rescheduled due to the weather, to ensure that we had the best experience and visibility.
Boarding from Waikiki Beach is so convenient and meant we didn't have to spend time and money getting to the harbour.
Crew were great fun and helped to guide the group to turtle sightings.

Good value, tour guides very nice and knowledgeable, made sure everyone was safe and pointed out the sea turtles. The water was a bit murky that day but we still got to see a lot of fish and some sea turtles. The only part I didn’t like was at the end the guide threw crackers into the water to attract fish so we could get a better view of the fish. This seems like it would be bad for the fish and not sustainable.

The guys that operate the boat were easy going, friendly and informative with a splash of humour.
The trip delivers as promised. They sail you to turtle canyon, you snorkel and enjoy a lovely sailing journey back.
It doesn’t have frills like food or drink ( you can take your own goodies, no problem), but that’s not what this trip is about. It caters perfectly to the people that put simply just want to catch a ride to the perfect spot to see turtles.
I would absolutely use them again. They are professional and good value for money. I recommend them A+++.

It was a great way to start the day. Super convenient if you're staying at a hotel on Kalakaua Ave. Just walk to the Duke Statue on Waikiki Beach, check-in and board. No driving to the harbor and dealing with parking. The crew were all very professional and super helpful to nervous, first time snorkelers. They rent all that you need but they don't have fins so if you want/need fins bring your own.
We stopped on the way out to observe some dolphins so if you're lucky its not just turtles you'll see. Definitely worth it and we will go again the next time we visit.

Overall, we enjoyed the trip. Staff was great! However, the snorkel spot was crowded with lots of other groups. It felt like you were bumping into people the whole time. We saw some turtles, but there wasn't much else to see. Also, the parking instructions are unclear. All it said was they validate in the garage, so I parked in the obvious giant garage. But they don't validate in that one (the Hale Koa). They only validate in the Hilton Garage which is harder to find. I hope they aren't unclear on purpose...that cost an extra $39!
