Crew members were very helpful and friendly, especially Courtney!! The snorkeling was fun and we all saw dolphins along the way. The lunch was surprisingly a hot food spread of chicken, pulled pork, rice, salad, and fresh pineapple.
Great crew and a truly enjoyable experience. All ages can enjoy the trip and the crew made everyone feel welcome.
The crew is excellent and very helpful. One older person in our group had not snorkeled in the open ocean ever. Kylie was wonderful helping her get acclimated and ensuring she was comfortable and safe. Could not have asked for a better time and experience.
Beautiful weather, knowledgeable and friendly crew, and a delicious lunch equal a pretty perfect day in Ko Olina. Although they can't guarantee it, we got to see dolphins, sea turtles, and plenty of fish on our tour. The best part of the experience was how easy it was to navigate and relax. We took the shuttle bus from our hotel in Waikiki there and back. (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!) Our guides took us out into the water and helped each of us make our way off the boat and pointed out things around the water, but mostly left us to explore. There were a number of families on our boat so it was a very calm and pleasant ride (no one being super loud or rowdy...). Limited spots meant space to move around, lay out in the sun, and relax. Lunch on the boat was simple but filling: barbecue chicken, pork, salad, rice, and fresh pineapple. Cannot recommend this enough!
Best tip I read in other reviews - Buy the fish good! It took an average activity and made it good. In fact, I suggested to the operator that they should throw it in for free, especially given that the food is only $5. Here's my tip - if you are going to be in Oahu for a week or more, make sure that the water is going to be calm and book the same day. The water was choppy the day we went. Our guide said that that was one possible reason the turtles didn't come out. I know there was no guarantee that the turtles would be out, but that's what we really, really wanted to see. For $189/person, it was a disappointing experience. If there was more to see, it might be worth the price.

Had a great time with the Ko Olina ocean adventure crew. Saw so much with the sea life and Courtney was able to find plenty of amazing sea life for us to look at once we were in the water.
Staff was very friendly, food was very good and plentiful, and drinks were flowing from the start. No complaints at all!
This was one of the most relaxing catamaran cruise we have been on. The staff was so attentive! Kaylee our captain was friendly. She made us feel like family on board. Lunch was delicious that was provided. The boat was super clean and beautiful. They took us to the best location to snorkel, we saw so many fish. N the return from snorkeling, they put up the sails for the true catamaran sail experience. Highly recommend this experience.
The entire staff were amazing! They were professional, helpful, patient, and kind. They took us out to a spot for snorkeling where the fish were absolutely beautiful beyond words! The tour operator sells bags of fish food for $5 a bag and they accept cash or card for it. It was amazing how many gorgeous fish surrounded us! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, as it rained almost the whole time once we left the dock. There was a consistent, strong current as well, which became a struggle for me to swim against and enjoy the snorkeling at the same time. Of course, this is not the fault of our guides or tour operator. Although most of the guests had gone back aboard the boat after only 15 minutes, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. My husband, kids and I enjoyed the views from the boat and enjoyed the company of the other guests. The lunch was good and filling - my picky son even had 2 plates of it. I highly recommend this tour!
