Highlights
  • Turtle Canyon - Our tour takes our guests along the beautiful coast of Waikiki, where we anchor at the well-known snorkel location called Turtle Canyons. This reef is known for the abundance of Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles that come to get their shells cleaned by the surrounding reef fish. The turtles frequently come up to the surface to breathe, where they can be seen by spectators who are both in the water and relaxing on the boat.

In addition to turtles, you might see other local marine life. This includes various types of reef fish, eels, octopus, urchins, rays, and dolphins. Also with a chance at seeing Humpback Whales during Dec-April.

Our crew is highly experienced with guiding guests around Turtle Canyons and maximizing their experience with the wildlife. When you feel satisfied with your in-water experience, hop back onboard our boat to enjoy the sun with complementary beverages and snacks.

Our Honu are protected by the State and Federal Governments, which means that you are not allowed to touch, harass, chase, or ride the turtles. We ask that you please enjoy their beauty from at least 10 feet away. Mahalo!

Excellent snorkeling experience! - What an excellent trip! Preston and Holly were incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable. The whether was perfect and the water was very clear. Had an excellent time snorkeling... We saw all kinds of fish, many sea turtles, and while my husband and daughter were in the water, dolphins swam through and they literally were swimming with the dolphins! An experience of a lifetime ❤️
