Kauai ToursTurtle Canyon Eco-friendly Snorkel in Waikiki - Semi Private
Overview
Guaranteed to see sea turtles!
Our company follows a hands-free, no-touching approach on all snorkel tours. When we enter the ocean, we are guests in the marine animals’ home, and we strive to be respectful and peaceful so as not to disturb their natural behaviors. Touching marine life—including sea turtles, sea urchins, and starfish—is strictly prohibited.
You may observe other operators or individuals touching wildlife; however, this practice is harmful and destructive to marine animals and their environment. We are committed to responsible, ethical wildlife interactions that prioritize ocean health.
Our vessel is limited to a maximum of six guests, providing a VIP-level experience without the VIP price. With a low guide-to-guest ratio, we offer personalized attention while minimizing stress on wildlife. Safety is a top priority, & all guides are lifeguard certified.
Photo and/or video package is available. Our images have been awarded 1st place in Honolulu’s Wildlife Magazine.

What To Expect
Our Turtle Canyon snorkel is aimed at allowing customers to swim with the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. At this snorkel spot, there is an incredible amount of wildlife, including sea turtles, hawaiian spinner dolphins, monk seals, manta rays, tiger sharks, and all sorts of reef fish. Every dive is different, and you never know what will come swimming through the reef. With our limit of 6 customers, it allows for close interactions without over-crowding the wildlife. Open to swimmers of all skill level. Snorkel, mask & fins provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (13)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Hawaii customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Hawaii snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Hawaii tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
