The Ocean Star day trip to swim with Hawaiian sea turtles was absolutely amazing! 👍👍 The guide knew the ocean conditions very well and took us to a spot where we could see the turtles. Swimming alongside the sea turtles in the clear blue ocean was a moment I’ll never forget. 🥹 The equipment was clean and well-maintained, and the safety briefing was thorough, so even beginners could enjoy it with peace of mind. The pace of the tour was just right, and there was absolutely no unnecessary upselling. If you get hungry, you can even have some Korean ramen. 🍜 If you’re visiting Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour. Mahalo!🌺🌴💙

I booked this tour because I really wanted to try snorkeling with turtles while I was in Hawaii! I’m not much of a swimmer, so I was pretty worried at first, but it turned out to be way more fun than I expected, haha. The shuttle pickup from Waikiki made getting there super convenient, and I was lucky enough to spot some dolphins, which made the experience even more special!! 🐬🐬🐬 Above all, the Blue Ocean staff were all so kind and awesome, haha. Thanks to them, I was able to relax and enjoy myself, and I’m leaving Hawaii with wonderful memories 😊 If you come to Hawaii, you should definitely try snorkeling with sea turtles at least once—I highly recommend it!! 🐢💙
Thanks to the cheerful owner and the friendly staff, it turned into such a wonderful memory. Thank you!
Thanks to you, I had such a fun time, haha. There’s a canopy overhead, and they even provide ramen and snacks 👍 All the crew members are so friendly!
It was such a fun day. I saw so many turtles~~^^ The crew members were kind, cheerful, and fun to be around.
We saw lots of turtles, and the staff were all so friendly—it was a really fun tour!! On the way back, we even saw dolphins!! It was such a wonderful memory! Thank you so much—I highly recommend it!!
Since none of us knew each other, things were a bit awkward at first, but you did such a great job of keeping things fun and lively, and we had a safe and wonderful time!! We took lots of cool and beautiful photos, and it was so much fun!!
We booked the sunset cruise during our honeymoon, and it was such a wonderful experience that I truly feel it was the best decision we made on this trip ♥ At first, I was a little worried because the weather was cloudy, but those worries vanished the moment we set out to sea—the atmosphere was amazing. Best of all, we were lucky enough to spot a whale, which made the experience even more memorable. Being able to see sea turtles and countless colorful fish made me feel like I’d stepped into a scene from a movie. The underwater scenery I saw while snorkeling was so beautiful it’s hard to put into words—I’m sure I’ll remember it for a long time to come :) The staff who accompanied us on the cruise were also truly impressive. Everyone was so kind and kept the atmosphere lively and cheerful, allowing us to have a comfortable and enjoyable time from start to finish. The instant noodles they served us throughout the trip were delicious, and during the wine party, the atmosphere reached its peak with the sunset, giving us that authentic “honeymoon” feeling. They even helped us take beautiful photos, so we were able to capture many memorable shots! Personally, the most impressive part was at the very end. Seeing how they carefully washed and maintained each piece of snorkeling equipment we used gave me the sense that they pay meticulous attention to hygiene and safety, which made me trust them even more. Thanks to their attention to these small details, I felt even more at ease and was able to fully enjoy the experience. Overall, the service, atmosphere, and activities all exceeded my expectations, and thanks to that, we were able to spend the happiest and most special day of our honeymoon. If we ever visit again, I would definitely want to use your services once more. Thank you so much ☺️
We had an amazing snorkeling experience! Saw so many fish and turtles. Staff & captain were kind and knowledgeable. We also appreciated the small group size, snacks, and festive music. 10/10 would recommend!!

Amazing!! Didn't know it was a Korean boat experience and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The staff was so helpful with the dive! They took such good pictures and the ramen after was amazing 20/10 experience, Highly recommended. (스태프들이 너무 친절했고 사진도 잘 찍어주셨어요. 스노클링 후 먹은 컵라면은 정말 최고였습니다! 20/10점 만점!)

Oceanstar boat and crew were great! Troy and Zoey were great with instructions! We saw lots of fishes and the turtles were huge! (오션스타 배와 크루들 모두 훌륭했습니다! 설명도 너무 잘해주셨고, 물고기도 많이 보고 거북이도 엄청 컸어요!)

가이드분이 너무 친절하셨고, 간식과 음료도 완벽하게 준비되어 있었어요. 거북이와 물고기들을 원 없이 보고 난 뒤 다같이 본 하와이의 일몰은 정말 최고였습니다. 다음에도 무조건 다시 탈 거예요!

Having our guide was like having our very own mermaid! We saw a lot of turtles and tons of fish! We swam a good distance, too! It was AMAZING!

Super fun time! The crew went above and beyond and made sure we had an incredible time... We saw so many turtles! 바다 위에서 먹은 간식도 정말 꿀맛이었습니다. 최고!
