Had an amazing time! Under new ownership. The team is so fun and kind. It was my wife's first time snorkeling and the team was so patient and helpful in instructing her, she was able to jump right in and feel comfortable.Snorkeling conditions were not the best but they turned the boat around and we got to see whales! Very fun time, highly recommend

My boyfriend and I came to Hawaii to celebrate his 30th birthday. He saw this offer for snorkeling, and couldn't pass up the deal along with the great reviews. s/o to Brittany & Captain Jason, both laid back people and friendly! Brittany was so helpful and amazingly cool with her diving skills!!! FYI!! Im not a great swimmer, but Brittany totallyguided us all. Anyway, if you're looking for something fun to do. Hands down, will recommend doing this! :) Thanks again, Brittany & Captain Jason!

Stepped out of the box into the ocean with the turtles to experience an amazing adventures recently. I have to say it was we had an amazing time on our turtle cruise. Captain Mike and our guide, Tyler took great care of us from there time we boarded, until our return. Groups are small total six per cruise making the experience fun and personable. As always, the guest were briefed to keep our distance from the turtles and for the safety of the turtles, no touching was allowed. Our tour that day took us to the a turtle cleaning station. A favorite place where turtles like to frequent to be cleaned by the abundance of fish in the area, preferably the Kole Tang. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable about turtles and had a great eye spotting and pointing them out to us. There were many turtles below and above making the experience super amazing. Some even got very close to us. They provided it all, floaters, mask, snorkels, and fins, just bring your towel and gopro. We were served a light snack going out and as we returned to the dock. Don't be just another number on another cruise, book with Diamond Head Cruises you won't be sorry.

Highly recommended. The crew was great. Boat was great. We saw turtles and fish. Even an octopus. The seas were a tad rough and the crew made us feel safe by watching for us the entire time. I'm an avid snorkeler up north and I also went with turtle canyon cruises. I highly recommend this one as it's a more personalized experience and informative. The snorkel gear on this boat is the kind I would buy for myself. Not cheap, not flimsy. The snorkel itself has the 2 exit points to get water out easier. There were 2 kids onboard and the crew kept a close eye on them. They gave us information about everything we were seeing. Overall one of the best experiences I've had in Hawaii. I hope everyone books with them and not the other, larger boats.

My family and I went out on a snorkel cruise with Captain Flow and Hannah this morning and it was absolutely spectacular. First we went to an area of reef where we snorkeled. We saw hundreds of fish and four beautiful sleepy turtles, resting by the reef. Then we went out looking for other wildlife, and we saw at least five whales, if not more, including them breaching and with full dorsal views. Hannah and Flow could not have been nicer, more professional, better at their jobs, or more welcoming, and we had a fantastic time. Highly highly recommend. Mahalo!

This was such an amazing experience for our entire family! Both our teenager and younger daughter had a blast as did my husband and I. Captain Jason and Hannah were awesome! They made us feel at ease and we felt very safe the entire time. They were very knowledgeable and fun! All the snorkel equipment was provided. The boat ride itself was exciting and the beauty of Oahu's south shore is breathtaking. The snorkel experience was incredible. We saw turtles, white tips and lots of fish. This is a fun adventure for both beginner and experienced snorkelers.
