This was a great experience. My family loved it. The crew was the best. I want to thank them for helping me after I fell getting off the boat. They rushed to me and did a great job taking care of me until the ambulance came.
Very fun to do with friends! Instructors were very nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend, we say 3 turtles and the water was very blue!
Moe and her crew were great. Customer service was awesome. Very friendly, patient and funny. Would def take another tour with Pink Sails. Small Dog needs more treats!
Sick ass snorkel cpt. Mo and crew were awesome. The guide allowed my family to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity
Swimming with turtles in the azure waters off Waikiki is nothing short of breath taking. Sometimes such experiences promise much but deliver only a glimpse but this one delivered so much more! To be up close with turtles and tropical fish felt as though we had a personal invitation to the inner sanctum although there were quite a few tours at the spot. And curiously, the turtles seemed happy to see us too, swimming up to look searchingly into our masked eyes. The Pink Sails experience is a well oiled machine - Our young, dynamic captain and crew (I wish I could recall their names) were super friendly and efficient with lots of helpful insights into the turtle sanctuary, where we would get the best view, and how to safely get into and out of the water. The catamaran was wonderfully equipped with well maintained snorkel and buoyancy equipment. It was a short sail out from the marina to the sanctuary with the perfect amount of time in the water, followed by drinks and snacks. Cannot recommend highly enough!
We had a great time on this tour that we highly recommend! Captain Jamie made us feel welcome immediately and gave us clear guidance on the excursion. John made us feel welcome and made the day special with Jalen. They led us to the turtles and made it a fun afternoon. What was extra special was that they comforted our daughter who gets nervous on any kind of water boat - they did it without us asking and then also catered to our 2 other kids who are more adventurous. Great 2 hours of our time in Oahu! Thank you
Crew was super nice especially little dog 🐶. We saw turtles and fish which was nice. It wasn't anything super special I would probably skip it next time, but thats not on the crew or anything just my opinion.
Such a great time. Mo and the team were super entertaining and made the adventure even better. Once we got back on the boat after seeing the fish and turtles, I felt a little motion sickness coming on. The team was so attentive and made sure I was comfortable, and they still managed to make the whole experience wonderful.
Amazing crew they were so friendly and incredibly funny as well. Made me and my friend feel comfortable even though we were nervous and even took pictures for us using our phones!
Crew was great, we saw so many turtles and the scuba equipment was top notch! We even saw a rare whale shark!
