What To Expect

Set sail from Waikiki on a scenic boat ride to Turtle Canyon, one of Honolulu’s most popular snorkeling destinations. Here, you’ll snorkel among Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles as they glide gracefully over the reef and visit the “Turtle Cleaning Station,” where tropical fish gather to clean their shells.

Before diving in, your crew will fit you with high-quality snorkeling equipment and share expert safety tips and insights about Hawaii’s marine ecosystem. Once in the water, you’ll enjoy a guided snorkeling tour surrounded by crystal-clear ocean views and vibrant sea life.

After snorkeling, unwind on deck with complimentary cold drinks, soak up the Hawaiian sun, and take in breathtaking views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. Plus, with every ticket purchased, $1 goes directly to the Hawaii Ocean Stewardship Fund, supporting local efforts to protect and preserve our ocean resources.
