We went on the 12:45 snorkel tour. The crew was amazing! Johnny and Holly took us out snorkeling and were extremely knowledgeable of the layout of the reef, the best places to see certain sea life, and were excellent guides as we navigated the reef. We saw a few turtles and many different types of fish. The boat was clean and comfortable. Thank you Honolulu Snorkel Co. for a wonderful experience!

We had the most wonderful time! The staff were so lovely and welcoming (Johnny, Holly, Jeff) They made us feel at ease and safe for our first time snorkeling. We saw so much fish and some beautiful turtles. It was a very intimate experience.

We had a wonderful experience, the guide Johnny was awesome , the driver Jeff was great, and Holly was very attentive and kept the trip very enjoyable, we saw whales and dolphins . And they played the best music. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants a great vacation experience. Thank you. This was my first big vacation ever, and my first airplane trip ever.

Johnny, Jeff, and Holly were great guides. We saw a giant pod of dolphins and were graced for more than an hour with a mama whale and her calf. It was a lovely afternoon.

Johnny, Jeff & Kora gave us a great tour where we saw a bunch of whales, enjoyed some beers (spring for the drink package if you can), and overall just had a really incredible time. Worth the drive and the price.

Our experience with honolulu snorkel adventures was dismal. We received our first cancelation of the whale tour on Jan 6, Additional dates were offered and so we signed up for December 7 in the time slot of 4-6 p.m. This tour was also canceled the day of and we had later confirmation that the boat went out on a private charter so they sold our tickets to higher bidders. They then charged our go city pass on Jan 6th which made our pass invalid at 12 midnight so we had no other options to use it the next day. We called 20 plus times within 2 days. We eventually went to the boat dock and confronted the staff. Now we need to thank Victoria for trying her best to make the huge mistake better. She loaned us snorkels and a go pro for the afternoon. She was the only bright light in this experience. I feel that we have lost out on the financial expenses of the whale watching tour since it was the first tour we booked in Oahu. Compensation for this cost should be offered.
