Our tour takes our guests along the beautiful coast of Waikiki, where we anchor at the well-known snorkel location called Turtle Canyon. 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 complimentary beverages. Our Honu are protected by the State and Federal Governments, which means that you are not allowed to touch them.

We absolutely loved it, the crew was very supportive, friendly and caring. We not only saw turtles and fish but also got a glimpse of Whale from the boat.

This was an excellent snorkeling experience. It’s a guided tour, so you’re not free snorkeling. I will say it was a little bit crowded in the water. The equipment was well maintained. We felt very safe. We saw at least 10 turtles. But the highlight was actually stopping at an area that was full of very cool tropical fish. The best visibility, at least today, it was when the turtles surfaced, and you could see them breathing. You have to maintain a distance of at least 10 feet, which is still pretty darn close to be able to observe such a beautiful animal. Highly recommend. Even if you have younger kids, the whole trip is under 90 min. Crew was knowledgeable.and kind.

I had a back spasm while in the water and the crew was quick to help me get back to the ship and they were all so caring. My daughter remained in the water with the crew and they were so kind to stay with her so she didn’t miss out. Awesome people, great experience. We saw dolphins, turtles, and fish!

Captain Alex and crew were fantastic! They were friendly, helpful, and worked hard to make sure we all enjoyed the tour. My teenaged kids and I were on the 11 am tour with about 30 other people. We saw three sea turtles, hundreds of beautiful tropical fish, and were so lucky to see a whale on our back. I highly recommend this tour. We had so much fun!
