This was very nice honeslty. I would have like to seen more fish, turtles, and again, it wasn't a long enough time in the water. However for our fist snorkle experience, it was great! The water is so BLUE you have to see it to believe it! We saw Whales, dolphins, and cool fish! More

My daughter and I went on this tour and loved every minute of it! The staff was outstanding and very knowledgable. The tour was amazing. We got to see dolphins and seaturtles as well as other sea life. The moring tour was able to see whales. The spot was beautiful and the captian was telling us about the island range... More

This is a great half-day out. It's an early start if you are picked up from your Waikiki hotel - around 6.30 am. But then your bus takes you out to Ko Olina marina to Ocean Joy to get your catamaran vessel. On board you get a safety briefing and then get underway. The cruiser is roomy - plenty of... More

Looking for the typical tourist trap adventure? Voila! Where to begin...lol! Sat on the bus for an hour while we picked up other guests from Down Town. Bus ride out to the site was the best part; a/c, comfy ride, informative and entertaining driver etc. Funny, brochure didn't show a bus load of people piled onto a yacht; there must... More

We booked this cruise through the activities desk at The Outrigger Waikiki Hotel and perhaps a little more information about the weather conditions would have been good. We arrive at a very nice Marina after a hour bus trip, yes picking up others from hotels around Waikiki, sign a disclaimer regarding no guarantee that we will see wild life and... More

We decided to take this cruise instead of doing the sunset cruise on waikiki which we have done many times before. We thought this would be better for the kids and a lot more exciting. It was! We all had a great day. The snorkelling was incredible, the water was so clear we could see the bottom at around 30ft... More

We were very impressed by the friendly crew, their respect for the dolphins&whales&turtles, the great food served. The catamaran was very clean & elegant. We saw turtles, lots of fish, dolphins & whales all close to the boat. We were really happy for selecting this tour. More

We did this cruise on Friday after Thanksgiving at the recommendation, or rather insistence of one of the activity desk people at Ourtigger Reef. We've done a similar cruise in Puerto Rico so we understood it's limitations and our expectations were in check. We paid $135 per person and drove on our own. The waters were choppy, not their fault,... More

I really enjoyed this cruise on my final day in Honolulu. Despite the varied reviews for this tour company, I felt my cruise captain and crew were extremely friendly, helpful and well informed! I was in Hawaii during the APEC conference, and so the normal snorkeling spot was in a restricted area, but we still had a great snorkel including... More
