Horrible experience with this company as we made reservations, paid, called to confirm the day before, and the trip was cancelled with no warning. Several of us waited 35-plus minutes, paid for parking, etc, and they couldn't even notify us! We found out when we called them! They do not want to give us a full refund, but hopefully they will. That will NOT change my review though!

A good landmark reference point is the Prince Waikiki Hotel. Our boat slip is located just West (Ewa) of the Waikiki Prince valet area. Look for our large Pink Sails banner.
Discover the magic of Turtle Canyon, Oahu’s top snorkeling spot, on this 2-hour guided adventure! Cruise along the breathtaking Waikiki coastline and dive into crystal-clear waters, where you’ll snorkel alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles and vibrant tropical fish. Our expert crew provides all the gear and guidance needed for a fun, safe experience. It’s only a short 10–15 minute sail to get acquainted with our green friends at Turtle Canyon. Once we arrive, we’ll split up the snorkel groups, giving you 30–45 minutes in the water to swim with the turtles. The rest of the time, you’ll be relaxing onboard, enjoying the tropical Hawaiian day.

Good time overall! Would have preferred to do the 2pm like I booked instead of getting pushed to an earlier one but other than that it was fine
We loved going on this catamaran with Captain Mo and her team. They were so accommodating and polite. They explained everything we were going to do and how to do it. They are great with having kids on board. I highly recommend!!
Disappointed that first was cancelled then when rescheduled again on our last day. Otherwise , it was awesome and will do it again hopefully on next visit if possible.
We had a wonderful time on this catamaran sail. Jamie our captain was very sociable and informative. We felt very safe and well cared for by all the crew. This was September and we were surrounded by turtles. Plus it was a beautiful ride with views of Ohau. Great experience.
The crew made it so fun, we felt like we were hanging with friends! Saw so many turtles and even took us out longer to see dolphins! 11/10 experience, highly recommended for all ages, families, friends, everyone!
The trip was canceled and I need a refund. I am very disappointed that I didn't get to go snorkeling this trip.
Turtle canyon tour was canceled due to bad weather caused by a hurricane. We received no email or phone call indicating the cancelation. Therefore, I cannot provide any feedback good, bad, or excellent related to the tour.
It was so fun! The crews were great! We could see turtles, dolphins, and a lot of fish in clean water. We'd like to join this tour again!😊
Fantastic experience with the crew and family. Clear skies and great turtle sightings. Crew was knowledgeable and we felt safe during the trip.
Alexio, Tyler and Kynoa were a blast! They helped us have a good time, feel safe and Kynoa pointed out all the sea life for us! Could not recommend these guys enough!
This is the one on the island with the best crew and grantees sea turtles. If there out there they find them. They know your on vacation and make it the best experience by being there when you want and giving space when you need. Other tours spend the whole trip talk about past and giving a complete school for 5 min in water. These guys do it so fast your in the water most the trip. I would highly recommend this package if you’re wanting to see the life in the ocean.
The crew was very nice and helpful. It was a beautiful experience and we did see turtles. My only concern was, there was a family on board with a toddler and the crew members did not make the parents put a life jacket on this child. It was very scary to watch. The parents had a life jacket that was just laying next to them on the boat. I would strongly suggest that this be a regulation, a must!
Outstanding experience! The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and helped to make the snorkeling experience and swimming with the turtles unforgettable! Little dog was a great co-captain. Thank you!
Captain Mo of Pink Sails and her trusted crew of turtle whisperers were absolutely incredible! We had the best 2 hours on the open ocean and encountered many majestic turtles and colorful tropical fish while snorkeling and also pods of playful dolphins during our sail back to shore. Captain Mo was so kind and thorough on rules and safety and shared a wicked sense of humor throughout. Special shout out to “Little Dog” who spent some time with us during the sail. Adorable! Helpful crew member, Sheamus, guided us from his surfboard to all the best spots on the reef to see the turtles and even spotted a baby turtle for us. Beautiful experience to explore nature and the bounty of its precious creatures. Our daughter, who now lives on the island, is taking her boyfriend on another Pink Sails tour as she wants to further share the experience with loved ones. We hope you will too…don’t miss this special island adventure while visiting Oahu. It’s priceless! Mahalo Pink Sails…you are a blessing. We hope to come back soon! Roxanne L and Ohana
We booked this tour last minute after a cancellation elsewhere. What a win. John, Jamie & Alex were a brilliant crew, and they absolutely made the experience. We saw at least 10 turtles! A must book experience if in Waikiki.
A must do! Outstanding crew and experience. If you want to see turtles, this is the excursion for you.
Was a bit disappointed my original booking was cancelled the day before without explanation. But they promptly rebooked me. The tour guides were wonderful on the boat, and the boat was not too crowded. I didn’t find the crew as helpful in the water, though they would watch for turtles to surface. The snorkel spot was chaotic with several boats and many tourists. I did see a couple turtles but the snorkelers from our boat and all the other boats would then crowd around interfering with the enjoyment of the experience. The had yummy snacks and drinks on board which was a nice touch. We also saw dolphins on the way back which was amazing. I would book them again
This was my first time snorkeling and now I’m addicted! So fun. The crew was so kind and helpful, I felt very safe and comfortable in and out of the water. My only complaint is that it’s a rather big group, 40 people, so it did feel a bit crowded in the water but otherwise a great experience
We had so much fun with Captain Mo, John and Jaylen and of course, Little Dog! We saw plenty of turtles and being in the water was absolutely beautiful! Thank you Pink Sails for a great day!
The crew were really funny, we had such a great time together. The water was nice, it is such a perfect weather to be out there out in the ocean! Everything was perfect, we had a blast. Definitely recommend doing it with the Pink Sail Waikiki :). John, Tyler, Alexio were amazing! Loved it.
Super fun 2 hrs excursion with an excellent fun loving crew of Jaylyn, John, Captain Mo and little dog Saw turtles and lots of fish during our about 1 hr of snorkeling time. Highly recommended!!!
The crew was very knowledgeable and communicated well. We saw LOTS of Turtles of various sizes as predicted.
Capt Mo, Tyler and Seamus are amazing, helpful and entertaining. The seas were calm and we saw lots of turtles. Great experience!
They took us out my daughter and I told us we was gonna see turtle and fishes and it wasn’t what they said the water was rough and we had to return early the crew said they would refund my money back but they didn’t sad story but so true I will not recommend it..
This is a must do experience in Hawaii. It was so cool and relaxing. The entire team was amazing and so cool. The boat was nice and spacious. We saw so many turtles and fish it was so cool my daughter loved jumping off the boat at the end.
Always fun getting on a catamaran boat. Plenty of seating on the deck and always fun sitting on the nets at the front of the boat. Recommend going early morning for calmer water and clearer visibility. Quick and easy tour that all the family can enjoy.
Alexio, Kainoa, and John were great! Made it fun for everyone and made sure we saw plenty of turtles and other wildlife. Even though I’m sure they do this all the time, they genuinely seem to enjoy it as much as us tourists all the while keeping it professional. I highly recommend this team.
In the 8 visits to Oahu, I have never been able to swim with turtles. I have seen them laying out in the beach or in the water when I’m not in it. I can finally check this experience off my list. The guys were fun and helpful. We were able to book this the same day we were flying home to Seattle. Loved it!!!!
Our family had a great time. We saw a lot of turtles and fish. Tour guide was knowledgeable and humorous. Felt safe.
Our wonderful crew on the water were Captain Jaime, Jalen and Jandy. Enjoyed the boat ride out to Turtle Canyon. There were 8 of us, six snorkeled. They had all of the equipment for us to use and discussed water current and safety for the trip. Reminded us not to touch the turtles. It is against the law. Everyone enjoyed the experience of snorkeling the ocean. A couple of them saw a turtle or two. Some didn’t see any. There were plenty of fish. Complaints were on the goggles….they were very foggy to see out of. We were told they would clear in the water. They didn’t! Couldn’t see anything out of them. Couldn’t even take good pictures. That was disappointing. Being out in all that beauty was amazing though. Denise R.
They canceled the activity and did not notify us until I had called then they sent an email. Do not book!
Had a great time the crew was amazing very friendly and extremely nice! Wonderful time with amazing snorkeling with lot of turtles! Water was a lil choppy but nothing that one can’t handle. Best crew Dog ever!!!
Great knowledge and exceptional atmosphere. Guides made sure we had the best experience. My daugther got anxious being so close to the fish and they were very patient and helped her get back to the boat and still have a great time. Mo, John, and Tyler are the absolute best! A must do activity.
The crew was very friendly and fun. Check in was super quick and the boat was spacious. Plenty of time to snorkel and we saw 4 turtles. Alex guided us to locate the turtles and provided us with interesting turtle facts. The ride was so smooth, water was so turquoise and we took the 8 am tour where sunlight shun through to the bottom to see so many species of fish and coral in abundance.
So glad we chose Pink Sails. Our crew Jamie, Alex, Xavier & Little Dog were amazing and we saw SO many turtles. At one point we counted 9! They swam right next to us. We did not as crowded as some of the other boats which was a big plus. So glad we chose Pink Sails & will definitely book again!
The crew was fun and entertaining. We got to see 5-6 turtles and fishes galore! We all had a great time for our first snorkeling adventure!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our Pink Sails Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Adventure was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The entire crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an unforgettable experience. Captain Mo was fantastic! She kept the atmosphere fun, entertaining, and energetic while making everyone feel safe and welcome throughout the trip. Her personality really made the adventure even more enjoyable. Seamus and Tyler were outstanding. They kept everything running smoothly, were always available to help with anything anyone needed, and made sure every guest felt comfortable both on the boat and in the water. Seamus was especially amazing as our guide during the snorkeling portion. He led us through the best areas, pointed out sea turtles we would have otherwise missed, and made sure everyone had the opportunity to enjoy these incredible animals up close while respecting their natural habitat. The crew’s professionalism, friendliness, and enthusiasm made this one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. If you’re looking for a fun, safe, and memorable turtle snorkeling adventure in Waikiki, I can’t recommend Pink Sails enough. Thank you, Captain Mo, Seamus, and Tyler, for an experience we’ll never forget!
We had a great experience! The tour guides did a great job of making sure we saw multiple sea turtles as well as other marine wildlife!!! Great tour and had a great time overall.
Great time out on the water. Saw a few turtles but mostly fish. The crew was professional and friendly with safety at the top of the list which our family appreciated. Would highly recommend!
They were very professional and accommodating to everyone. Very straight forward with some drama girls. They handled it professionally and direct. Helped me find a hat for a young lad that had feel asleep. Just all around good trip.
Great experience! Very knowledgeable crew! Saw a ton of different fish turtles etc. Must do! Great value!
Had a great time. The captain of the boat was nice enough to allow us to switch to a later trip last minute due to a couple unexpected issues. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something fun to do.
Guaranteed to see turtles. Quick boat ride out. Swam with turtles and went to the reef. Such an amazing experience with a great crew.
Fabulous trip! We saw quite a few turtles. Jamie, the captain, and the rest of the crew were personable, funny, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended going with them!
What a great experience! John, Jamie, and Alex did a great job helping us find fish, sea turtles, AND a shark. We learned a lot about the different types of fish and sea turtles. The crew was very nice, helpful, and we felt safe the entire trip. My kids enjoyed it as well (11 & 13yrs old). Highly recommend!
Great experience while your in Oahu. Will never forget this activity and wonderful crew on Pink Sails🤟🏽🌺
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!
