Alicia_R, October 2026
Captain Crash and his crew were very personable. I am a very timid swimmer, what put me at ease was his emphasis on safety. I was able to get in the water with confidence knowing that him and his crew (Lucy and Megan) were there to guide me and the other snorkelers. We saw several sea turtles and other beautiful school of fish. When we come back, I will definitely be using Oahu Catamaran again.

Great Crew!
Steve_P, October 2026
This trip was a great experience for a great price. The crew: Lucy, Shannan and Krash were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The area of turtle cove is filled with beautiful fish and sea turtles. The snorkeling was great, good equipment and resources. A free snack and drink were provided. The area was a bit crowded with other boats and tourists, but the overall experience was delightful.

Awesome family experience
ryannN8404US, October 2026
We had an awesome time, the crew (Shannon, Lucy and Karim) were amazing - easy-going and fun, but also very professional and great with our young children. The snorkeling experience was fantastic - lots of turtles and interesting types of fish. Organisation was sharp and hassle-free.

Great experience, start...
Alison_M, October 2026
Great experience, start to finish the crew were great, Mia, Tony & the Captain. Saw plenty of turtles, the reef, fish of all types. To top it off a family of dolphins as we were heading back to shore. Would definitely recommend especially for the price.
