Additional Information

Hawaii Nautical warmly welcomes you to explore, appreciate, and experience Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles up close!

You will gain knowledge about the lifecycle, habits, and the dangers faced by the Hawaiian Sea Turtles colloquially known as ‘Honu’ (This involves preservation efforts and respectful observation).

Commence your journey to Turtle Canyon on the 65-foot Gold Coast power catamaran departing from Waikiki and appreciate a picturesque cruise along the Oahu coastlines. Your ultimate aim: to snorkel in the tropical waters that are frequently visited by Hawaii’s green sea turtles!

Once back on the deck, you can relax with two complimentary drinks and reenergize with lunch if you opt for the noon tour. Be vigilant for dolphins, migrating whales, and other undersea creatures while you take in the awe-inspiring views, which include the iconic Diamond Head.

Should you not encounter any Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, get a free cruise again. This turtle guarantee applies to a single re-ride only; no refunds are provided. Redeemable for a trip of the same or lesser value on Oahu, the Big Island, or Maui.

Enjoy the largest and most recent catamaran in Waikiki that boasts a fully-stocked bar, complete with two local microbrews, and two full-sized restrooms.

Great cruise but transportation that was paid for was awful as well as company response - The snorkel cruise was great, the crew and the boat were fantastic. We paid for transportation there and back and on the way there, the driver didn’t announce the stop and some people stayed on the shuttle for the airport. We were in the back of the van and were trying to get off when the driver shut the door. When we arrived back to the disco for our return transportation (that we paid for) there was no shuttle. We called the company and they told us we would be picked up in the same spot we were dropped. 20 minutes later, we called a Lyft. Called the company to tell them no return shuttle and they said a manager would call me back/credit transportation. Neither happened.
