Itinerary
Waikiki Turtle Canyon Snorkeling is a great way to experience Hawaii’s ocean life on Oahu’s South Shore near the Waikiki Skyline aboard a 50' motor catamaran. Guests can snorkel with Hawaii Green Sea turtles, many reef fish, and sometimes see dolphins or a Humpback Whale breaching in the distance during Whale Season. • The boat is a comfortable cruising catamaran that offers shade, a restroom, a bar, and full snorkeling gear. • Free water is provided; alcoholic drinks are available for purchase. You may bring snacks. • The boat is conveniently located at Kewalo Basin Harbor, just 10 minutes from Waikiki. • Getting there: Limited free parking is available at the harbor, with paid parking nearby. Uber and Lyft can also access the marina. • Arrive 15 minutes early, as the boat departs on time. • Children ages 3-7 are considered ride along and cannot enter the water. • Infants 0-2 must stay with an adult and cannot enter the water.
Kewalo Basin is a historic harbor that once served as a Native Hawaiian fishing village and is now a bustling marina. This will be our meeting spot before heading out on the boat for snorkeling. As we gather here, you'll see fishing boats, luxury charters, and stunning ocean views, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure.
While snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, you'll be surrounded by vibrant marine life with the incredible Diamond Head as your backdrop. This iconic volcanic crater rises majestically above the coastline, creating a stunning contrast against the turquoise sea. As you float among colorful reef fish and graceful sea turtles, take a moment to admire the breathtaking view of this Hawaiian landmark, making your snorkeling experience even more unforgettable.
Turtle Canyon is a famous snorkeling spot off the coast of Waikīkī, known for its thriving population of Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu). As we arrive by boat, you'll see crystal-clear waters where turtles gracefully swim among coral reefs, offering an incredible opportunity to snorkel alongside these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

Charlie was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. Great source to learn about O’aho since he’s local
Beware Beware. If you’re planning on snorkeling with turtles be careful with this company. They are not helpful at all. They spoke mostly to each other and besides being to told the rules they guys weren’t helpful. One of my fellow snookers was having a panic attack in the water and they weren’t paying any attention. If your going off a vibe, pick a different company as all I can say is people teach you be there actions and I would have appreciated a little camaraderie but alas they 3 guys were very off putting.
It was beautiful. Could swim with turtles and fish around us. The water is blue. A vibe

Fun afternoon, helpful and entertaining guides. A little pricey. Wish it included snacks or some bonus.

Thoroughly enjoyable trip and delivered on its promises. Special thanks to Ashley and Marcello and Garrett for their great rapport with the guests!

Boat was clean and not too crowded. We only saw four turtles but the water was murky from the rain in the morning. Water was great. Staff was great. There was a passenger who passed out shortly after we left the dock and the crew handled it very calmly and professionally.
