Oahu Water Sports

My husband and I picked this activity for our honeymoon trip and were NOT disappointed. This experience was so special and we saw more wildlife than was even promised. The captain and crew were so welcoming and chill, which made for a relaxing cruise and easy going snorkel experience. 10/10 would do this cruise again and/or recommend to friends next time.

I had the most amazing private tour of Oʻahu with Elf, and I cannot recommend her enough. One of the things I loved most was that she allowed me to completely customize my day. I told her I wanted to get away from the typical tourist experience and see some of the places the locals love, and she absolutely delivered.Elf is a local and a body surfer, so she had so many wonderful stories and such a unique perspective on the island. She showed me places I never would have discovered on my own and made the entire day feel more like exploring Oʻahu with a local friend than taking a traditional tour.Her kindness really stood out to me too. I had a terrible sunburn from the day before, and Elf actually stopped at her surfers’ community spot and cut fresh aloe for me to put on my burns. It was such a simple but incredibly caring gesture, and it tells you exactly the kind of person she is.We visited a local shopping center off the beaten path and a wonderful coffee shop and artist colony in Waialua. We explored beautiful Haleʻiwa and the North Shore, and she took me to Waimea Valley to see a heiau. We then visited Puʻu O Mahuka Heiau, a very special place of worship with one of the most beautiful views. Being able to experience these places while learning about the island from someone who calls Oʻahu home made them even more meaningful.And then there was lunch! Elf took me to the food truck area in Kahuku, where we ate at Kalena’s Hut. The barbecue was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Hungry Man. You may not be able to finish it, but it is exceptional! We ate our lunch underneath a beautiful plumeria tree, which somehow made the whole experience even better. The pineapple pies made by his daughter were delicious, and Kalena himself was one of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. He was simply a joy.This is exactly what I was hoping for when I asked for a private tour. I didn’t just want to check places off a sightseeing list. I wanted to experience Oʻahu through the eyes of a local, discover places I wouldn’t necessarily find on my own, meet wonderful people, hear their stories, and come home with memories that felt personal.Elf gave me exactly that and so much more. If you want to see a different, more personal side of Oʻahu, I wholeheartedly recommend spending the day with her. It was one of those special days in Hawaii that I will remember forever.More than anything, Elf is truly a good soul and a beautiful person, inside and out. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine love for her island came through in everything she did. I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed, and she will always be part of some of my favorite memories of Oʻahu. 🌺

Crewa are awesome!!!! Food is great. Cup noodles after snorkeling is the best!!! I would definitely recommend to everybody who comes to Hawaii and explore ocean.

AMAZING experience!! My family of 4 just returned from a 8 night O'ahu trip and the absolute HIGHLIGHT was when we went out on the boat with Kevin last Wednesday! I will also say the person who booked us prior to our trip was friendly and super knowledgeable and helpful - really set the tone for our excursion. Parking was easy to find, and Kevin went above and beyond turning what was supposed to be a snorkeling excursion into the best marine tour ever! Thanks to Lala, the water was too murky for us to snorkel but our kiddos still had a blast being out on the boat, ending up in the middle of a pod of 200+ spinner dolphins and watching the babies attempt spins with their mamas by their side! We also were lucky enough to see a honu in the open waters and then attempted to see sharks! Overall, can't recommend this enough- Kevin was so great!! We will definitely be back!!

An amazing trip with Megan, Grace and Captain Mary. So many turtles and just the loveliest, kindest most fun knowledgeable crew.

Absolutely great!! Capt Mary and Sophie were incredible guides

Experience was something I can’t explain. I felt in awe that I see the island and sea wild life. They were amazing and the guides were amazing taking us to the hot spot and explain with enthusiasm. Will come back again for sure.

Amazing day, very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Definitely would recommend. Healani from Rio Trans who collected us and dropped us back to the hotel was very professional and went beyond, thank you.

Elf was absolutely amazing! We wanted to experience as much of Oahu as possible, so she recommended a North Shore tour that included incredible snorkeling, historic sites, delicious food trucks, and several must-see attractions. Her knowledge of the island is exceptional—not only does she know the history and the best places to visit, but she also shared fascinating insights into the local culture and the ongoing efforts to preserve Oahu's heritage.She also suggested a trolley tour of the southeast side of the island, which perfectly complemented our North Shore adventure. Together, the two tours gave us the feeling that we had truly explored the perimeter of Oahu while learning so much along the way.If you want to experience the authentic Oahu beyond the typical tourist stops, let Elf be your guide. You won't be disappointed!

Its first class exclusive experience , the boat is beautiful with high quality maintenance, my boy 6 years old loved said like a home ! We had a fresh pineapple to welcome us, very relaxing comfortable seating areas : in door kitchen with Lshape sofa with a dining table , another outside seating area with table, they help my child experience his first snorkel without my involvement! He was absolutely loved! The lunch was lovely, my boy loved the sandwich was delicious, the lunch was prepared by the captain Kyle during the snorkelling time and presented on a long plate looks delicious and with quality healthy brown bread, plenty of refreshments drinks in the refrigerator and snacks on the table. Very worth for the choice of this boat trip, will definitely come back again. We also saw many dolphins

Great small group experience. We see lots of different species of fish and our guide Havilah was fantastic at sharing her knowledge of the fish and the habitat. She explained the cultural and ecological significance of the turtle cove. Great to see the turtles in the ‘turtle car wash’. A great opportunity for a small group, personalized experience.

Booking our 2 tours was very easy and Michael was very accommodating. He is an amazing tour guide and made us feel like family. Our tours were totally customized to what we wanted to do. Michael went above and beyond in every aspect. He is very knowledgeable and kind. 100% recommend Michael for any tour needs you may have in Oahu.

This was the first time my husband and I had been to to Oahu and were excited to see much of the island. We booked a peivate Oahu circle tour with Michael and had a great time. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a lot of flexibility based on out personal interests and preferences. This day trip was definitely a highlight of our trip and would absolutely recommend to others.

Me and my 11 year-old son love coming here whenever we get a chance. It is so much fun.

We had a wonderful experience doing a semi-private snorkel tour at Turtle Canyon in Oahu off Waikiki. Their boat is smaller than the big catamaran tours; hence, it is a more personal treatment. It also meant that we could leave from the marina next to Waikiki. We also got the photo package, which involved our tour guide taking photos that were 100% better than we could have done using our phones in a waterproof pouch.

Jacob was an incredible instructor. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable, but most importantly, he makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I was able to stand up a few times during my first lesson and couldn’t have done it without his help.
