Great tour! Lynne was super knowledgeable and well prepared. We were a bit scared because of the waves, but Lynne was very patient with us and very helpful! We saw a lot of fish!

The guide was so patient with everyone which I appreciated because we had no experience in Snorkeling.
We had a blast! Lynne is great- knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The spot was exactly what we wanted, calm and low key. And there were so many fish! The process from booking to finding the meeting spot to the snorkeling experience was easy and fun. Highly recommend!
Given all the positive reviews, I'm sure many people have had a good experience with this tour, and enjoyed their time with Lynn, as she was very knowledgeable about the area. but I'm writing this review specifically for people who are hesitant, nervous, or inexperienced with snorkelling. I booked this tour after doing a lot of research on beginner-friendly snorkelling tours in Waikiki because my sister was snorkelling for the first time and was very anxious about being in the ocean. Based on the reviews and description, I expected more support and attention for beginners and nervous swimmers. To start with, the equipment is very old and visibly worn out, as a few reviewers have mentioned. While I understand equipment may be sanitized, it still looked outdated and poorly maintained. One of the floating belts even had a broken buckle. Unfortunately, my sister had a very traumatic experience. During the briefing, Lynn mentioned that some of us may feel fearful once in the water, but when my sister became overwhelmed, there was very little support offered to help her feel comfortable or safe. She eventually decided to leave the tour and walk back towards shore. While trying to get out, she tripped and fell on the reefs and screamed for help multiple times, but the guides did not notice her. Luckily the life guards were there to help and clean the wounds on her leg. I am sure the response will be that we should have booked a private session or followed the map more carefully to leave the water, but the at the end of the day, if you are bringing groups of people into the ocean, especially beginners, there is still responsibility to ensure people are safe regardless of their experience level. I would strongly recommend avoiding this tour if you are not comfortable snorkelling independently or if you are nervous in the water, because you likely won't receive much assistance once you are out there. Also, snorkelling itself was underwhelming. The water was very cloudy and we did not see many fish. But to be honest, this might be the case in all of Waikiki. The briefing lasted just over 30 minutes and the actual time in the water was only around 20 minutes. Overall, if you are already comfortable snorkelling on your own, you would probably be better off doing some research and snorkelling independently. you do not need this tour.
Great experience for swimmers and non swimmers! Able to see lots of fish. Private area to enjoy peacefully.
Great experience, would definitely recommend Lynne. Lynne was patient, very knowledgeable and explained in detail what to do. Lynne made it a fun experience.
Lynne was absolutely wonderful! We can’t wait to come back and do this again! She is knowledgeable, very understanding, and so much fun!
Very small operation, lots of personalized attention. Miss Lynne offered great teaching of the area and the fish to look out for.
Lynne was awesome. She is very knowledgeable and a great instructor. The video and pictures were amazing.
My experience was very good mainly because Lynne took such great care of me and made me as comfortable as possible. I’m a senior citizen and hadn’t been snorkeling in quite a while. Mahalo many times over!
We never had never done this before so we were a bit nervous about it. Lynne explained everything in detail, helped us with our gear and showed pictures of the fish we might see. And we did see a lot of fish. It was the most amazing experience!! Lynne gave us the time we needed to get comfortable under water with the mask. Highly recommended.
We had a great time this morning snorkeling with Lynne. She came prepared and stocked with fish food😁 She was very knowledgeable about the fish and area. She took video throughout the hour and was all-around a pleasant guide. It lasts an hour and was a great value.
This was a great snorkeling experience. Even beginners had an easy time of it. All the equipment was provided and the price was a bargain. We got some great pictures and saw a ton of fish. We also got to feed the fish which was fun. I would highly recommend Lynne to anyone who wants to go snorkeling in Waikiki.
Great experience!! Lynne made sure we were all comfortable in the water and that we all got a full experience. Got to see many fish, including many of the rare ones, it really was a great day🐠☀️ Even got to see an eel and a sea cucumber. Getting a video and photos made this a full package for a very affordable price.
Lynne is patient with newbies and made this a fabulous intro to snorkeling for my brother and his wife! My hubby and I (veteran snorkelers) also had a great time! Much less stress than trying to get to Haunama Bay.
This experience was just wonderful, Lynne was so informative,a great guide, so close to Waikiki , would recommend to all !!!
Lynne was amazing! My son and husband loved it. Saw hundreds of fish. She explained about all the fishes we could possibly see and that helped a lot.
We had such a fun and memorable experience with our family! Lynne was an incredible host - she walked us through everything from start to finish and was extremely knowledgeable. We saw so many fish and truly enjoyed every moment. We would absolutely recommend this experience to friends and family. Special thanks to the kind lifeguards at Tower 2F for allowing us to leave our belongings nearby - it was greatly appreciated!
Just did this tour with Lynne this week. She made everything so easy and accessible for my family. We were first timer and didn’t know what to expect and what to do. She knows the best location, explained everything to us clearly and supportively, showed us the pictures of fishes. When she said we will see hundreds of fishes before we went in water, I couldn’t believe my ears. Indeed. We were surrounded by hundreds of them. This is such a fun experience without the hustle and expense going on a boat. The pictures and video she did for us were just sweet. Strongly recommend!
Lynne was an amazing host! She was very knowledgeable with the reef and we always felt safe and informed about everything we needed to know. The fish definitely showed up for us! She went above and beyond by making pictures and a custom video with no additional charge! I highly recommend booking with Lynne, as it was a very easy process.
Came with my 3 grandsons aged 8,11, & 13. Lynne was most accommodating and provided a great experience for them. We saw many fishes and even kissed a sea cucumber for good luck. Lynn also did a free family video and photos for everyone to download. Equipments were provided as well . I highly recommend this activity.
We had an amazing time! It was intimate, personal and Lynne was absolutely amazing! Lynne is extremely knowledgeable and I loved that we had a short review of the type of fish we would see! If you’re looking for an intimate setting and yo see a lot of fish, then look no further, Lynne is your girl!
Lynn is very accommodating and makes sure she meets everyone's needs. I would definitely book another tour with her next time we're around. I actually seen more fish than when we snorkeled in Hanauma Bay. You just gonna have to time it so the water could be much clearer.
Lynne was great. Showed us the fish we could expect to see while in the water. Identified them along the way. Great experience. Would totally recommend while in Waikiki area
I went to this a couple of days ago and I can honestly say that it was a wonderful experience and I really enjoyed my time. She was so accommodating and understanding and even though my sister even came a few minutes late, she waited kindly and explained everything so thoroughly and I was kind of scared since I actually don't swim but I had a marvelous time and it was one of my favorite parts about traveling to Hawaii! Would do it again!!!
This was a great experience with Lynne! She is super funny and made sure that we got to see a lot of fish. As a non swimmer, this was very beginner friendly. I would highly recommend booking with her!!!!
Lynne was wonderful and a great guide for the experience. We had a fun time, got a good workout in the waves, saw some cool ocean dwellers, and she made us a video and pics to commemorate the time! A great way to start out here in Hawaii. Thanks, Lynne.
This was such an amazing experience for my husband and son. Both loved all that they learned and saw!
I would highly recommend this tour! You will definitely see and interact with many fish and it's real laid back and casual. Our Host Lynne is awesome and did a fantastic job of making us all feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you!
I had a great time with Lynne. She explained all the fish and route ahead of time (granted not all of it was remembered but it was easy to follow and enjoy once in the water). The beach she uses is beautiful and the chosen spot isn't crowded, but not isolated, so you can still see others enjoying their time. She was very accommodating with equipment and easing nerves. You get food to feed the fish to get them to come closer and be more interactive, but you'll definitely see plenty before that. Lynne is in the water with you and can point out notable fish and answer any questions. I also liked the photos she took and the nice compilation video she edited. The price for it all can't be beat.
Guide was great, very informative saw lots of fish. I even saw a few of the rare ones on the list. Great Day and the whole group was cool. Definitely/ Highly recommended
We had such a fun time learning about the different fish and then getting to see and feed them! Thanks for being able to accommodate all levels of swimmers! Thanks for the pictures and video! You gotta go!
We had a wonderful experience!! Saw so many beautiful fish and Miss Lynne made everything go smoothly and comfortably. Don’t miss out! ❤️🌴
Our snorkeling experience with our two teenage grand-daughters was incredible leaving us all with memorable laughter, silliness, beautiful surroundings and a sense that we were all safe with your pre-instructions, guidance and watchful eye as you gave our family personal space but monitored our safety. Bravo!!!
My family and I had such a fun morning snorkeling with Lynne and Bob! They were both so patient with my 6 year old son who was struggling a bit in the beginning, and they made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. We saw tons of fish and love the pictures and video she provided! We would definitely book again if we returned to Waikiki. =) Thank you again, Lynne!
I have never been so close to fish before without the fish being in an aquarium. This was a very well organized and extremely fun snorkeling experience. We really appreciated the instructor accepting and being prepared for all levels of swimmers and snorkelers! We highly recommend this experience! We love the photos and video that are included. Thank you so much!
Lynne is an extremely professional guide and shared her valuable knowledge for successful snorkeling. We gained immense knowledge from her about the ocean's waves and various types of fishes we would encounter.
Lynne was absolutely amazing! This snorkeling activity was the highlight of our trip. She was kind, informative, and helpful throughout the adventure. Lynne made sure we were in a nice spot to see lots of fish and continuously gave us fish food to attract them. Pics and video were super cute. Great experience!
We were able to schedule less than 24 hrs advance. Yay! Unfortunately though the session was canceled due to high wave warmings. Lynne reached out to us to advise us. She was so kind and professional and refunded our reservation. Sad for us and sad for her losing business. But better to be safe than sorry.
The scuba tour was amazing! Lynne was so informative, kind, and professional throughout the tour. She took her time to explain different fish the group would see and how to properly use the snorkeling gear. She was also very thorough with the cleaning of the equipment that was used. Great photos and great experience!
Two friends and I did snorkeling with Lynne earlier this month and saw lots of fish! It was a very cool experience. Lynne was very knowledge, kind and even sent photos and videos that she took of us in the water to all three of us afterward. Would definitely recommend this activity!
You'll learn about the fish you'll see. She'll explain the best spots to snorkel. You'll get a wonderful video and pictures of your experience. Lynn is very helpful and patient. For first timers this is an excellent way to start. Had a great time as it was my first time snorkeling. Made wonderful memories. Thank you Lynn!
Lynn was friendly, kind, helpful, full of knowledge, but not a know it all. She was able to relate to young kids and our 16 year old son. She supplied floats for non swimmer, and made everyone feel comfortable in the water
An Unforgettable Experience – Highly Recommend! This was hands down one of the best experiences of our entire trip! Lynn went above and beyond to make it memorable—from showing us photos of the fish beforehand so we’d know what to look for, to giving us food to attract them for some incredible up-close pictures. The small group setting made it feel personal and relaxed, and with all the amazing photos and video included, this was easily the best value of our vacation. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, unique, and beautifully captured adventure!
Lynne was amazing and took so many photos and videos of us, we were taken out to a place in the water where we could clearly see so many fish, my 11 year old daughter and I had an incredible time! She was also very knowledgeable and taught us about the different fish we would see, and it was a definitely highlight of our trip. She provided us with the equipment and made us feel very comfortable the whole way through. I would do it again and recommend to anybody!! Thank you!!!💗💗
Lynn was awesome and we had a great time with me, my wife, and my two kids (8 and 10): Lynn showed us some pics of fish we might see, gave us a crash course in how to use mask/snorkel, and even took some great pics and videos. Highly recommend.
Lynne was a great guide for our group of beginners. The water was shallow enough to walk if needed and we were able to view and feed the fish. Lynne also provided video and pictures for each group. Highly recommend.
Lynne is great! My boys (8 & 11) were snorkeling for the first time. They had a great time and saw a lot of variety of fish. Lynne included video and photos. Would recommend to others!
Lynne is literally the coolest, kindest, most knowledgable host I’ve had for an experience on a vacation ever. Not only was the snorkeling beyond cool, but getting the specially edited video at the end was so cute I almost teared up lol. She goes above and beyond for the price you pay, plus bringing the food for the fishies made them all swim around you so it was even more fun than I expected. Book this now and tell Lynne she is the best!
Lynne was an amazing guide for snorkeling. I usually get motion sickness on boats and this was the perfect activity because we still got to see so many fish. Lynne was so sweet and had so much information about the area. We got to learn about the fish before going in and she provided the gear along with the shoes. We also got an amazing video edited by Lynne at the end of the day that really captured the experience. If you do anything in Oahu, I highly recommend doing this.
