    Wow! We were hesitant on spending money for just two of us to go out on this snorkeling boat ride adventure! I can tell you it was money well spent! We had our own private Captain and his “helper/ crew” , and we were spoiled rotten! So down to earth the Captain was giving us a wealth of knowledge about the area along with taking us to places that were safe and untouched by the touristy crowed is what i would like to call it! The crew member jumped in with us to point put areas for us to make sure to swim over to see! We got to see some super cool turtles while we were snorkeling! We also got to see dolphins and lots of other fish and coral ! We would highly recommend this adventure into your trip/ budget! One small detail but something we thought was amazing is that as we boated the Captain would stop to grab trash from the water, that is priceless and just a great ethic! Thanks again Capt.

    Fabulous day with Chris and Josh! We loved the two snorkel spots they took us to and we saw tons of fish, turtles and even two octopus! They were so accommodating. Great day. Will be hiring them again.

    A must do in Hawaii for sure! Don’t bother going with any other company. This place you get your own private boat and they basically go where you want to go. We wanted to see turtles and starfish. And they knew the spots and we snorkeled and josh even dove 30 ish feet to let me hold one. He also got a sea urchin. I almost started crying as that’s my bucket list. Bonus we saw a ton of male whales trying to mate with a female so they were out of the water a lot. Great boat ride. Personable and knowledgeable crew (Chris and josh!) would highly recommend doing this and would consider doing it again. Thanks again josh for getting me a starfish!

    Had an amazing experience on the adventure boat this morning. This was our last activity before our flight, and Captain Chris was super prompt with our trip and getting us back to the dock on time for us to head to the airport. We saw dolphins, turtles and went in the water. An absolutely perfect day and thrilling ride!

    I highly recommend! We did a last minute trip the day we left. We wanted to do it all and Chris and Ryan delivered!! They went out of their way to find the perfect snorkeling spot. We also were lucky enough to see whales, turtles and dolphins. It was an incredible experience. We will definitely book again the next time we’re back.

    My husband and I did the snorkeling with sea turtles tour, and The Adventure Boat took great care of us. We got incredible views of the sea turtles and it was such an amazing experience. The staff are knowledgeable, and very kind. If you’re searching for the perfect snorkeling destination, you’ve found it right here! Mahalo.

    This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. I would definitely recommend the Adventure Boat to everyone! We were a group of 7 and we had an amazing time. I would also recommend the video package it made it all that much more enjoyable knowing we didn't have to try to document the trip it was being done for us. Plus they were able to get pictures and video that we definitely could not have gotten on our own.

    What an amazing time!! Thanks so much Chris for taking my husband, son and me around the beautiful and serene waters of Waikiki! It was so calm today. We went in Chris’ 33 foot power boat to the other side of Diamond Head where he talked about the expensive real estate in the areas around Black Point. Chris is so knowledgable about both the history and landmarks around Waikiki. As well, he knows the waters so well - where the best snorkeling sites are to see colourful fish and where you may encounter turtles. If you want a great time out in the waters, I would highly recommend Chris at The Adventure Boat!!

    We had an unbelievably awesome experience on the Adventure Boat. Captain Chris and Ryan were so knowledgeable about the area, friendly, respectful of the environment, and were very accommodating to our desires for the day. They took us to a snorkeling spot where none of the other charter boats go and it sure was the best spot on the island. We swam with dolphins, which was such a sacred experience! We also saw an eel, sea turtles, manta rays, and lots of cool fish. Their boat is super comfortable, even going really fast it was very smooth. I highly recommend this experience to anyone. We will definitely book a 4 hour day with Chris and Ryan every time we visit Honolulu! The Adventure Boat is a must do on your next vacation!

    We had an absolute blast! Fantastic communication prior to our excursion and then we checked off every item on our list! We started by seeing a pod of humpback whales multiple times… We then snorkeled…. Within 5 minutes a turtle popped up right next to us, then some dolphins, so many fish and then a second turtle. IT WAS AWESOME! Finished with a quick ride around. Captain Chris and Josh were knowledgeable, fun and amazing guides! So glad we booked with Adventure boat over a large tour! Highly Recommend!

  • 5/5 Eric P B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great tour! Right at Waikiki. Capt Chris and Ryan were professional and very informative, the tour was private and relaxed, and the turtles were very cooperative. A really good value for 4-6 people...and private allows for special attention to what you'd like to see. A pod of Spinner dolphins even got in on the action.

  • 5/5 John H R. 1 year ago on Google
    Captains Chris and Ryan made sure my snorkeling experience was an awesome one! Their local knowledge and appreciation of the environment made for an amazing trip. If you want to see the sea turtles and skip the large crowds go with these guys!

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a blast! The crew of 2 were great, they were very patient and informative. They took us out to the ocean and explained everything to us and answered any questions we had. In our description for things we were interested in doing on the boat I put that I wanted to snorkel and see wildlife. They showed us sea turtles and even had one of them swim down and show us an octopus and shell! I'll be definitely referring them if anyone I know asks for snorkeling places. Thanks!

    Had a wonderful time snorkeling with Chris and Josh! They have a favorite spot where they took us that was away from all the other tour and diving boats, so we were all by ourselves. We got to see the resident sea turtle, Jennifer Slopez and lots of other fish swam all around us. Josh dove down and pointed out sea cucumbers, urchins, starfish and an eel. The snorkeling tour was well organized and the guys clearly loved what they were doing. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a day on the ocean tailored to exactly what you want.

    We absolutely loved our experience on the adventure boat!! We snorkeled and saw an amazing amount of fish along with sea turtles!!! We also saw a momma and baby Humpback and a pod of spinner dolphins!! I would do this again in a heart beat. I can’t even put into words the amount of amazement we experienced!! And the crew was phenomenal, friendly, and very knowledgeable!! Thank you

  • 5/5 Preston K. 2 years ago on Google
    Chris & Ryan are wonderful guides who made our experience phenomenal. We saw humpback whales and swam with turtles and a pod of spinner dolphins while snorkeling. It was a special excursion and their knowledge and guidance made it so. And they are just great guys. Well worth every penny. I highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Tim J. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience that I got on The Adventure Boat was extremely individualized. Chris and Ryan prepared my experience by shaping the trip purely based on what I wanted to experience. In this time it is refreshing to get exactly what I wanted. I saw Humpback Whales, Spinner dolphins , turtles and many fish, all while getting my own private audience with these great majestic creatures far from the crowds seen on other snorkling trips. The other major benefit of high importance was safety due to the combined nautical experience that they exhibit. Overall I would highly recommend this trip....

    Was a great experience. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. We got to go to two diff snorkel spots, swam with turtles and saw whales. Whales were 50-100ft away. We got incredible whale sighting!!

  • 5/5 Justin F. 2 years ago on Google
    We picked The Adventure Boat based on the reviews and we were not disappointed! Captain Chris and Josh were excellent guides and helped us accomplish our bucket list item of seeing Whales! We also spotted turtles and they took us to a secluded spot to snorkel. Captain Chris is extremely knowledgeable about the island and the marine habitats. Josh brought up a sea cucumber and urchin for us to see up close before gently putting them back. They topped it up with a cruise around Diamond head. After seeing all of the other packed boats we really knew we made the right choice to go with the adventure boat! Thanks Captain Chris and Josh!

    I am so excited to write this review! I and a few family members had the best time on the Adventure Boat. Chris made our trip so memorable. We first went snorkeling at Turtle Canyon. It was so beautiful seeing all the amazing colorful Hawaiian fish and the turtles were incredible and so laid back. Chris and Ryan then showed us around the waters and to our amazement we spotted 3 huge whales. The boat is a smooth ride and lots of fun. I cannot thank Chris the owner and Ryan for such a great day and adventure. I highly recommend the Adventure Boat. You will not be disappointed!

    Thank you Adventure Boat, We had a blast! I wanted to take my wife on a sunset cruise as part of her birthday celebration. I booked the Adventure Boat based on it's five star reviews and private charter service. The trip was exactly what we're looking for! Captain Chris and First Mate Ryan are very professional, we felt very safe while aboard the vessel. We would recommend The Adventure Boat to anyone who is looking to have a very fun, private, and safe time. The sunset cruise was a picture perfect moment!

  • 5/5 Kirk M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time. Captain Chris was ready to accommodate what we wanted, but also had great suggestions to fill the time. Had a great private snorkeling session, and some time with the turtles. Also just fun to be on a private boat.

  • 5/5 Evelyn A. 2 years ago on Google
    Chris and Ryan were amazing! Definitely an amazing way to end our trip! We got to see turtles and so many fishes😍 I was afraid to go in at first— Chris and Ryan were the best at helping. Also thought I’d lost my earring and Ryan was searching for it, realizing on the boat ride back it was in my bathing suit. The best thank you!

    This was such a great time. Highly recommend The Adventure Boat for a private charter experience. The kids had a great time and we were able to experience a side of Oahu not seen on the land.

    We had the best time on our happy hour boat cruise! Lots of fun 🤩, lots of liquor 🥃, and eye candy 😂 I just wish it was more time than a hour. Trust we made the best time of that hour.
