2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Cocktail - Waikiki Rainbow Sail Catamaran / Snorkel Cruise
Fantastic value tour
For a quick tour where you will more than likely run into several honu, the Mana Kai Catamaran morning snorkel is a great value. We not only ran into 5-6 large honu at the shell cleaning station, we also found a pod of spinner dolphins. The captain careful followed the dolphins at a safe distance, so we managed to snap some great pics.
Will definitely do again upon my next return!

Definitely worth the 5:30 am pickup
Don’t worry about the early pickup to get you to the west side of Oahu. After swimming with dolphins and seeing at least 10 whales including a mother and calf, you will be wide awake. Sleeping is for the shuttle back home after such a fun-filled adventure. Do it, you won’t regret it!

Even better the second time!
Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

A true passion for what they do
One Ocean Diving is a class act, and how they go about teaching you about how to swim with sharks is as professional as it gets. Never once did I feel nervous about jumping into the open ocean with these animals. The cost might be slightly high for a tour without any transportation, lunch or anything else, but knowing that your money is going toward ongoing research about sharks is well worth it. All staff know what they are doing and their passion for what they do really shows. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Blue Hawaii Semi-Private Island Tours - Sunrise, Sunset, Rainforest & Waterfalls / Sunset Tour (5 hours)
Learned a lot while photographing picturesque locations
At first I was disappointed to hear my tour was cancelled due to the tour guide falling ill, but a second message on my machine said the owner, Marie, would be personally taking over the tour and would be picking me up right on time!
Marie was a great host/teacher who knows the great photo spots of Oahu and at what time of the day to be there. She taught me so much about my DSLR that I had no idea about. And the gorgeous sunset was just the perfect way to top off the session.
Aloha
It was great to meet you. We had beautiful weather and a wonderful sunset. See you again next time.
Marie

Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour with Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran / Snorkel Cruise
Fun short tour
Fun sailing and snorkeling combo tour. Although the visibility was poor this day, they offered discounted tours for those who wanted to come again. I got lucky and came face to face with a nice sized honu, so no visibility problem when it's literally almost in your face.
Well worth the price!

Waikiki Morning Turtle Snorkel Sail & Tour from Kewalo Harbor - Hawaii Nautical / Morning Snorkel Sail
They guarantee honu sightings for a reason
Fun short morning tour. Make sure to go first thing in the morning as other boats gather in the area, driving the honu away.

Worth the money
Avoid the parking nightmare and go as early in the morning as possible for best visibility and fewer crowds.

lots of fun!
Did together with my son and had a blast. Make sure you are one of the first into the ocean when you start the snorkeling since the sea turtles will be scared away once the crowd hits. Managed to be third in and took 4K video of a huge turtle on the GoPro.

Thank you very much for posting these photos and the link to the video! It is great that you were able to see a Hawaiian Honu (Green Sea Turtle) and the video is fantastic.
