Saw gorgeous nudibranches and a frog fish among all other sorts of life!

Boat Captain Garret was on time and effective with communications As well as helping everyone on and off the boat. Keanu's and Koko's dive sites both offered something for everyone. Both site were extraordinary, with shallow ledges, great vis and an abundance of marine life. Omilu- big ones (Bluefin Travally), nudebranchs, and spawning aggregations of giant porcupinefish and turtles.

I would strongly recommend snorkeling with Shannon and Snorkel Safe Oahu for both beginners and experienced snorkers/divers. Her respect for the marine environment and knowledge of the local snorkeling spots is an incredible resource for anyone interested in diving deep (get it) into the marine life of Hawai'i!

There's many options for dive schools but I highly recommend Oahu Scuba College to anyone looking for a place where they can grow their skills in an environment that's safe to make mistakes and learn from them. I ended up loving this hobby and that's 100% due to level of training I have received with "The Godfather!". Be a dollar sign somewhere else or gain proper training in a welcoming environment here. Thank you!!!!

We never felt rushed, and they made sure everyone had a chance to enjoy the moment. The boat was clean, well-organized, and the overall vibe was fun and relaxed. They also pointed out other marine life along the way, which was such a bonus. If you're visiting O'ahu, this is a must-do experience. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

We started at 6am and the morning was a tranquil visit to all the animals in the ocean. Our guides were Connor and Bethany, and they are knowledgeable naturalists and wonderful guides who took good care of us inside and outside of the water. Captain Kim knew we were birders and wanted to take photos of the shearwaters, boobys, and albatrosses and she always positioned the boat while giving us the best and most stable view for photography, while maintaining a respectful distance to the animals to avoid stressing them. We went out to Ka'ena point and had a great view of the Laysan albatross colony. There is truly nothing like having an albatross fly overhead. Along the way, we saw spotted dolphins actively feeding and playing, and also saw spinner dolphins! Seeing the monk seal lounging on the beach was a bonus. The wedge tail shearwaters had just returned so they were busy on the water. We also found masked boobys and brown booby feeding. We also saw turtles at their cleaning station! Connor and Bethany were knowledgeable about the landscape and the ecology and shared wonderful information. They are genuinely the nicest people! Highly recommended. The boat is comfortable and we were taking care of by the team (beverages, snacks, fruits, pastries). Thank you!

(If you get motion sickness/seasick I highly recommend NOT going. There was a family on our trip that all took Dramamine yet still had a horrible time) We saw so many Galapagos sharks & even dolphins on the way back The crew was awesome, especially the captain Kevin. They were all very friendly and good at preparing everyone to get into the water safely. It was the perfect mix of freedom and safety while in the water. You don't need to hold on to a rope/stay right next to the boat like with other shark tours, but the crew keeps everyone safe the whole time. Soooo sick & I highly recommend taking a tour with Ocean Outfitters!!

Nevertheless they accommodated and made it right by giving us an extra snorkeling tour in addition to the shark tour. We saw a variety of marine life which includes hawaiian green sea turtles, bottlenose dolphins, sharks, monk seals and many more ! The staff were very friendly and also really informative. They provided clear safety instructions before heading into the water to snorkel. Im afraid of both the deep big blue ocean and most of all sharks. However this experience made me truly look at it very differently. It was such a beautiful and memorable experience. I would most definitely do it again. Their prices are really competitive as well in terms of snorkeling and cage free shark diving. After all the research they are the most reputable and most budget friendly activity tours. Definitely recommend and most definitely will be booking again once I'm back in Oahu.
