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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 its five star reviews and private charter service. The trip was exactly what were 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!

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!

What an amazing way to see Waikiki and see turtles! We decided to go for this private boat tour since were a family of five and it wasnt much more expensive than similar excursions, except we had the whole boat to ourselves! Captain Chris was great! Definitely felt safe with our 3 kids on board and because it was just us, we got to stop and go whenever we wanted. The kids loved seeing the turtles and had a blast racing along the coastline. Seeing how long the lines were for the other tours (and crowded) the other boats were, this was definitely worth every dollar!

We had a great morning with Chris! He was prompt, the boat was very clean and as described. It was wonderful to have a private charter away from a crowded boat! We went to two areas, the second being our favorite with a wider array of sea life and a great time watching a pod of spinner dolphins swim along side our boat. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend! We loved every minute on the boat with these guys. They had a sweet sound system and played music after asking what genre of music we like. It was a private ride with just our party and the 2 guys driving the boat. We purchased the go-pro/drone rental and they did a great job with the compilation edits. Fun times!!!!

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.

They went above and beyond to accommodate us, they made sure that we got to see the things that we really wanted to see like turtles, whales and Dolphins and do the things we really wanted to do on such short notice. I would really definitely recommend them to anybody 10 stars across the board and they were very personable, they were fun, they communicated effectively and they gave us more time than we paid for, so that was a plus. I would definitely definitely come back again and use them I recommend anybody to use them especially for smaller infiniment parties.

Captain Curtis and Ryan were fantastic! My wife and my daughter and her boyfriend and I had an amazing time! We first went snorkeling and saw lots of cool fish…even a squid! Then we got to swim and observe a wonderful turtle! Curtis and Ryan made it so fun with teaching us about scuba diving and playing cool music and having a lot of laughs! It was an amazing and incredible experience for all of us!!! Thanks Curtis and Ryan!!!

Looking for an epic boating day? Try The Adventure Boat.My wife and I have been on The Adventure Boat on multiple occasions and each experience has shown me something new and exciting about the waters around Oahu. Diamond Head is uniquely beautiful from land or sea but the ocean view is absolutely stunning under the right lighting conditions. Want to see Whales? Captain Chris has a knack for finding them, even in difficult conditions. Since the boat is so fast, we were able to get close and observe much more quickly than the other boats. Not to mention, we had a more intimate experience since it was only my wife and I and the crew. Also, the snorkeling is amazing. Clear water with vibrant sea life below.Even considering all of this, there are still a few adventures we havent enjoyed yet. Well absolutely be back for more with The Adventure Boat.

Rented for a few hours, captain was great. Knowledgeable and experienced on the water. Looking for a private snorkel or just hanging on a boat hitting some waves, this is the place. Thanks again Captain! Great and helpful with kids too.Ryan

We had a great experience with Captain Chris and his crew! If you are looking for a more personal snorkeling excursion- this is the one to take. We were lucky enough to have the boat to ourselves! The boat was clean, well organized and fun! They took us to a couple great spots - we saw a ton of fish and turtles! Would recommend this one!

My Family and I had the best experience with Captain Chris and his crew. Nothing better then your own private charter visiting Honolulu. We will be definitely be back for more.

We booked our experience for 05/13/21, and could not be happier with the outcome. Chris and Jen were extremely knowledgeable, punctual, and professional. The boat itself was very clean and well taken care of, along with significant space for guests to move around. We were provided with snorkeling gear and safety vests, and were able to encounter various marine life at different areas. We also toured the coast and enjoyed a fun filled ride. In short, we definitely recommend this service as Chris and Jen far exceeded our expectations. We will definitely book another charter with them the next time we come back!

5 star experience! Only wish we had, had more time! None of us wanted it to be over. Highlight of our trip! Our 3 boys (6, 9 & 10) swam with turtles, got up close to dolphins and smiled the whole time! They even let us rent a go pro and took tons of footage for us! Worth every penny to have your own boat! Great memories!

My family of five (two adults and three kids: 5,10,13) went out on a Sunday morning for snorkeling and had the best time! The crew were so easygoing and helpful. They also found whales (out of season!), dolphins, and sea turtles. We went to two snorkeling spots (gear was clean and in great shape) and swam with turtles and a lot of fish (even a puffer fish!). This was such an ideal family experience, but I can also see how it could easily fit the needs of all kinds of groups. I couldn’t recommend them more!

The adventure boat was an awesome experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Captain Chris and his crew. He was very punctual, knowledgeable, courteous; he showed us a fantastic time! I would highly recommend booking a tour with The Adventure Boat!!

We had the best day ever! I sent a text inquiring about this trip and got such a quick response. We went 1/4/21 with our family of 5. It was great only having our family on board b/c Capt. Chris totally catered to us. We saw whales (3) and a whole pod of spinner dolphins. One swam within 3 feet of my son! He even heard the sounds they make. We saw a lot of turtles and beautiful tropical fish while snorkeling. Capt Chriss gear is great. Every time I have been snorkeling elsewhere, I swallow a mouthful of sea water. With his gear, I swallowed none. Capt. Chris really wanted us to have a good time and see as much wild life as we could. He is super knowledgeable about all the different species. I also loved the boat. At first, I wanted to rent a Catamaran but this was way better b/c the ride was smooth with plenty of room. Bonus was the videos of our family snorkeling and the dolphins so close. I really loved having only my family on this boat. I highly recommend The Adventure Boat.

Captain Chris and his team were prompt, knowledgeable and professional. The trip was smooth sailing and the locations allowed my family to view extraordinary underwater sea life and landscape. I would recommend anyone to the Adventure Boat who wished to have a personalized snorkeling excursion with a dedicated crew!

Amazing saw tons of dolphins! Big waves so snorkeling had no visibility but saw tues and sooo many dolphins! Loved the smaller boat only our family, they can go to areas without crowds.

Our trip was amazing! Captain Chris got us to several different snorkeling spots around the south shore very quickly, which allowed us to stay ahead of the crowds and modify our routes according to the surrounding activity. He has good rapport with other captains and they seem to check in with each other for the inside scoop on where the wildlife hotspots are for the day. The sound system is just ridiculous- well balanced sound, not too loud or scratchy like some of the other boats. If you are into music, nature, and an overall respectful attitude towards the ocean and it’s creatures then this is the boat for you- I will definitely be going back out with them next trip!

The Adventure Boat tour was unforgettable! Captain Chris took our family of five on an amazing whale watching tour. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and he customized the tour to exactly what our family wanted to see. We saw multiple whales, sea turtles and a huge school of fish. The Adventure Boat was the highlight of our Hawaii trip! Also, we have young kids (all under 7) and they absolutely loved it! Would highly recommend!!

Had an amazing time on our sunset cruise with Captain Chris. The views were stunning and he was very gracious and professional. Seeing the turtles at Turtle Canyon was a spectacular treat!!!

What an amazing experience! My wife and I had the best time with our two kids. Great time had by all and would definitely do again!

Repeat customer.Chris and his crew are awesome. Best way to get out on the water and do some snorkeling. We saw turtles and tonnes of fish. Tiki bar is an awesome add-on, if you have the time.Highly recommended.

These guys are absolutely amazing! We booked a last minute trip and they were able to incorporate everything we wanted to do. They were friendly and informative and super helpful. 100% would recommend.

We had the best day out with Captain Chris on his power boat around Waikiki. It was the highlight of our trip and we had the opportunity to see two types of dolphins and turtles. Definitely an amazing chance to experience Waikiki and Oahu from the water.

The Adventure Boat is the best way to see the beautiful fish, turtles and dolphins. Its a fun ride and smoother ride than you would probably expect,, that keeps you close to the water for the best views. Chris and Jen were fun and flexible to make the trip whatever we wanted it to be. Booking was easy and very responsive. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to another trip on a future visit!

Best money one can spend on whale watching excursion! Beautiful experience on the ocean. Tracked pod of 7 whales. Highly recommend Adventure Tours! Thank you!!WI crew - 3/14/21

We had a fantastic morning with Captain Chris and Ryan and our group of 4 adults. We asked for snorkeling with turtles and had our fingers crossed for dolphins and whales. They took us to a sweet snorkeling spot with lots of turtles, and made a notable effort to find whales, but luck wasnt on our side for that one. After about 45 minutes of zipping around though, Captain Chris spotted a pod of sleeping dolphins and got us right up close to them - I dont think Ive ever had such a good view of dolphins before! Chris and Ryan were both knowledgeable and friendly, and we were comfortable and entertained for the 2.5 hour ride. Definitely recommend The Adventure Boat!

My husband and I had a SUPER WONDERFUL time on the ADVENTURE BOAT! We went to Hawaii for the first time to celebrate our 50th anniversary and 70th birthday. Snorkeling on the Adventure Boat was a highlight of our trip. Our bucket list is kind of long, but if we go back, it will be at the top of our itinerary. Thank you again Captain Chris!

Beautiful Sunday morning smooth riding on The Adventure Boat! Experienced multiple pods of dolphins on our right and left and then being surrounded by an abundance of fishes and turtles! Our captain is definitely knowledgeable: knows the best spots and where to anchor down without wasting time. Conveniently provided were snorkel gears, floaties, and a big cooler already loaded with ice. Great visibility and also shared a gorgeous day with a double rainbow! Super fun time with the family and will go again!

Chris (captain) & crew (Wes) were friendly and easy going. They took us out to see whales and snorkel with sea turtles. It did not disappoint! We got a bonus rainbow too! Afterward, the dropped us off at the dock by our hotel.

Very cool! It was nice having a private tour and the instructors were helpful in making sure that we didn’t stray too far from the boat and told us the best places to look. They took us on a ride to follow a family of dolphins and we saw a few turtles and many fish. Highly recommend!

We had an awesome experience. We snorkeled with turtles and beautiful fish and even saw dolphins. The tour guides were very friendly and made sure we had a great time. I am very glad we booked this tour.

Captain Chris and Wes were the BEST!! Our family enjoyed several charters with them. They took us to wonderful snorkeling spots so we could swim with turtles and dolphins. We would highly recommend The Adventure Boat and look forward to booking with them in the future. Thanks guys!!

We had a great trip through Waikiki with Chris on the Adventure Boat! He was timely, knowledgeable, professional, and funny. Can’t wait to go back out!

Super fun times! Hang on tight and get ready to have a blast. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Chris was super fun (I even liked his lame Captain jokes... haha) Loved the views of Waikiki and Diamond head from the water. BTW this boat has a killer stereo and Chris will let you connect your phone to the bluetooth so bring your favorite music for the ride. 100% Recommended

Had an exhilarating day with my family aboard Captain Chris’ boat! We watched whales breach and glided along a playful pod of dolphins. The experienced crew was more than helpful and took us to beautiful spots for some of the best snorkeling we have ever done. Absolutely recommend if you love the water and want to cover a lot of ground.

We had a great time on the Adventure Boat! Captain Chris, his first mate Ryan, and Morgan the mechanic were an excellent crew, and we really enjoyed their hospitality and flexibility in working with us to make sure we had a great time. They have tons of local knowledge theyre happy to share, and they do a really great job communicating up front to make sure everything is squared away when you get there. We were hoping wed get to see some turtles and scout out some good snorkeling spots, and they nailed it for us. Plus its always nice to support a veteran-owned business. If you want to hear some sea-stories, these guys got em! And Captain Chris really has his boat-handling skills down - Ive done several tours out of Waikiki, and none of them have been as smooth or as fast as this one. They really have the recipe for a great day!

Had a great time today. Saw several turtles and multiple pods of dolphins.

My friends and I enjoyed it so much, captain Chris was very kind and so was his crew. Chris’s hospitality and attention to detail surpassed any reasonable expectation. He anchored the boat in calm waters and we snorkeled for a while. We were mesmerized with the color of the water and the different types of fishes we saw. The sunny weather, wildlife (including whales, dolphins and sea turtles) and the views of Diamond Head were icing on the cake to a perfect day.

If youre looking for an island adventure, youll find it on Adventure Boat! It was amazing to see the city and the island from out on the water, and Captain Chris knows where all the great snorkel spots are! The crew is very knowledgeable and fun, and delivers a wonderful experience with aloha spirit. Id 100% recommend Adventure Boat to anyone visiting Honolulu. Thank you!

We booked the trip for 2 times already and we would like to come back in the future. Caption Chris is very friendly and always brings us to the best spot. We come to Hawaii for vocation every year and this definitely one of our must go events

Captain Chris and First Mate Wes were super chill guys, and they both have a lot of knowledge about the island, and all things nautical. It was a great outting; the family had a blast. Super cool that they let you charter the boat just for your group, too, so you dont have 20 other people jostling around you. Would definitely recommend. Thanks guys! 🤙

This is THE boat tour to do! We looked for whales, dolphins, saw sea turtles swimming right by us. We stopped in several places to snorkel (which were awesome). The as trip was a blast and Captain Chris and RJ (I apologize if I remembered name wrong because he was awesome) were friendly and fun (and full of fun and interesting facts). Definitely a great vibe (and I felt safe the entire time). I highly recommend and would do this again in a heartbeat)! One of the highlights is my vacation! So glad we did this!

Great service and great, great guys aboard the boat!!!!!

Hang on tight! This boat goes fast! Super fun to get out on the water in style, and with some great tunes to boot! We saw so many dolphins I couldnt count them all, plus a sea turtle! Captain Chris was a super nice guy and I felt safe the whole time. I like how he adapted the adventure and we basically got to do whatever we wanted.

Captain Chris and the Adventure Boat are my “go to” when I want to show my clients or friends an extraordinary perspective of the islands few get to experience. Captain Chris is a true expert and will ensure a safe and fun tour. Highly recommend him for any of your charter needs. The boat is fast and clean with great sound!

Had a great time on the Adventure Boat! The sound system on the boat added to the excitement but the best part was the access to unique snorkeling spots. If youre looking to get out on the water, I highly recommend The Adventure Boat. Captain Chris made sure that we hit multiple snorkeling spots and made our four hour snorkeling adventure the highlight of our trip!

Chris is really good at what he does. We went out with a small group to do some snorkeling and we all felt like we were in good hands. We saw dolphins, turtles, a sting ray, etc. Would definitely recommend and will do another excursion with Chris during our next trip.

We had an outstanding time with Captain Chris and JC. The take their time to give you your moneys worth. We saw many turtles and various tropical fish.Thank you for an amazing adventure!

Boat was in great shape and very clean. You can tell when you ride on The Adventure Boat that Chris has a lot of experience on the water and will make sure you have a great experience. Great times with great people! Thanks Captain Chris

Seriously one of the best experiences of my life! Captain Chris is so knowledgeable and really nice to hang out with...what a great day! I cant recommend this enough! If I could give 6 stars, I would!

This was a really great way to kick off a weekend. Captain Chris and his other crew member took us out to just drift off Waikiki and lazy around in the sun all day. He had the speakers going with whatever we were feeling then and was our guide to some snorkeling in the area where we anchored. Everything was super clean, and all your dry stuff got to stay dry under the wheel. The Captain seemed to really know the water around him and ave us a quick safety demo once we were out on the water. Will definitely be using him again for another weekend with friends

Captain Chris made our boat trip so much fun! We snorkeled with turtles, watched the sunset, enjoyed some great music and it was good vibes all around. I highly suggest this for a great memory in Hawai’i!

Epic snorkeling adventure in Lanai! Captain Chris is a true waterman with Navy experience. Super fast boat with high quality sound system. We had a blast!

Captain Chris is a skilled navigator. He has taken us on several epic adventures! Definitely recommend theadventureboat to see the lesser known spots in Hawaii!

We had an awesome time with adventure boat’s Captain Chris at Lanai! Sightseeing and snorkeling at the best spots!

Captain Chris puts the “adventure” in Adventure Boat. He is hand a down the best! You’ll love it!!
