If you're an energetic couple looking for more than just a relaxing beach day, Island Splash Turtle Tours delivers an experience that's equal parts thrilling, educational, and impeccably organized. From the moment we arrived, their team demonstrated a level of professionalism that immediately stood out. The check-in process was seamless, the safety briefing was clear and thorough, and the equipment was in excellent condition. You could tell they run a tight operation -- everything felt structured, efficient, and well thought out without ever feeling rushed. What truly elevated the experience was how intellectual the tour felt. The guides weren't just there to point out turtles; they shared fascinating insights about marine ecosystems, turtle behavior, conservation efforts, and local oceanography. Their knowledge added so much depth to the adventure. It felt like a marine biology mini-masterclass -- but one where you're actively swimming through the lesson. And speaking of active -- this is not a passive, float-around experience (which we loved). As a very active couple, we appreciated the energy and pace. There was plenty of swimming, exploring, and maneuvering through the water, and the guides kept the vibe upbeat and engaging the entire time. They matched our enthusiasm and made sure we got the most out of every moment in the water. The atmosphere was fun, vibrant, and full of positive energy. The team clearly loves what they do, and that enthusiasm is contagious. We left feeling exhilarated, accomplished, and genuinely grateful for such a well-run adventure--we left having seen many turtles, Hawaiian spinner dolphins, a stingray and plenty of fish in a natural setting. If you're the kind of couple that prefers movement over lounging, learning over just observing, and meaningful experiences over generic tours -- Island Splash Turtle Tours is absolutely worth it. Professional. Knowledgeable. Energetic. And incredibly fun. We would book again in a heartbeat. read more

We had a great time this morning. The 7 am session was early but worth it. Very exclusive location at that hour with only 1 other boat, and our group was very small. The crew was very friendly and approachable, knowledgeable and made the experience great. They had everything we needed, drinks, equipment and tons of fun. Captain Alex and the crew was great to make the event fun and feel safe. Brought my family and they had a blast, even my 7 year old daughter loved it! Highly recommend read more

GREAT crew. Knowledgeable, SAFE and VERY FUN!! Terrific experience and well-thought out.

Such a cool excursion to do in Hawaii - Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour. Near Waikiki area, we got on a boat and went out to a popular spot to see sea turtles! And yes we did! Really neat to see the turtles in their habitat. It was early in the am, so the turtles were still waking up.. They would be down on the ocean floor, then gently swim up for some air, then head back down. The staff was awesome and very knowledgeable; also the photographer was so cool and did a great job getting some great photos! We paid $75 for the photos and it was well worth it! read more

Very fun experience! Got to see so many fishes in the sea. Would def come back again! :)

It was a super fun tour! Guides were super friendly and we had an amazing time! Definitely would come back!

Highly recommended their turtle snorkeling tour. I went on a Saturday at 7:00 with a small group of 10, returning to the dock around 8:30. We saw at least 8 turtles, tons of fish and even a shark! If you do the early tour, you can see the sunrise too. This was my third time in Oahu/Honolulu and this was one of my favorite tours. All the workers were friendly and knowledgeable. It's a short boat ride from the dock too. read more

Very friendly and helpful. Made my family feel very comfortable. Would use this company again.

All the staff members were very friendly and knowledgeable. Super friendly. They knew the spots to see lots of sea animals and we got to see a bunch of turtles!!! The photographer (I don't remember her name) found a sea urchin and she let me hold it. It was a cool experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat! read more

The tour was outstanding because of the engaging and kind crew members. From the boat ride to the instruction and experience in the water they took time to make sure we were safe and having a good time. We had a child with us and they noticed right away they weren't the strongest swimmer and made sure they had a buoy. We saw turtles and schools of fish. A large turtle came up to the surface and the crew got pictures of my kid swimming with them. Such sweet crew. Thank you! read more

This is a must do while in Honolulu. Alex and Holly were very helpful and knowledgeable about the marine life. We were lucky enough to see dolphins are on our way to Turtle Cove. you will get to view sea turtles as they sit at the bottom of the ocean and will get a first hand look when they come up for air. read more

The last time I went snorkeling, it was a bit lower stakes and didn't involve us going into deeper waters, so I was a little trepidatious. Wow though, what an amazing staff: knowledgeable, friendly, firm with tourists not following the rules, and they of course led us to turtles. Would recommend! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. The crew was amazing even before the tour started. The day before amazing response time with texting and giving information and answering my endless questions. Meeting the young knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and fun crew made the tour great even before we seen a turtle. But to the actual turtle snorkeling, that was also awesome. We seen tons of turtles. We seen sea urchins that we got to hold in our hand. Nathan and Emma were great out there in the water keeping everyone safe. The dolphins gave a great show, splashing and playing in the distance and , the crew was great with offering to take pictures and making sure everyone was comfortable. Preston, we will definitely look up your company when we come back to the island and make sure to give all our friends our high recommendation ! read more

Island Splash Tours - Nate is a great photographer! - Boat Tours Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My family and I highly recommend Island Splash Tours. The crew was absolutely amazing and made our 1st time memorable. They provided expert guidance and ensured everyone felt comfortable in the water. I loved the smaller group setting, allowing for a more personable experience. Alex and Benny were great guides in the water, and Emma was the whole reason we booked. The reviews I read prior to booking specifically highlighted her, and the added bonus was her underwater photography skills. She doesn't always bring out her camera, but we were truly lucky to have booked on a day that she was able to capture some amazing moments for us. read more

Our group of 9 adults and 1 child had an amazing time on this tour! We saw plenty of turtles, felt safe and the staff was amazing! Emma, Maddie, Alex and Nate were all super friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend if you're looking to see turtles. read more

Great peppy young crew. A short ride for those who don't like a long time on a boat. The amount of time at the turtle reefs was just right.

This experience was outstanding! Apparently they are a new company and they are doing things right. This is called semi-private tour which means it limits the number of people that you go with. That is purely awesome. Instead of being on a crowded boat you go with just a few other people. There is a guide that's with you in the water who has experience and knowledge of everything. Make sure to book the earliest possible time to maximize chances of seeing dolphins. On our tour got to see them. Between the price and experience I must say this is the absolute best thing you can do in Waikiki. If you are staying in Waikiki you can walk to this location so no cab necessary! Do yourself a favor. Book this tour! read more

Snorkeling with turtles was AMAZING all thanks to the incredible team at Island Splash!! Alex, Alex, Holly, Emma- all made this experience so special.
