Overview

Book our Turtle Canyon snorkel tour and experience one of Waikiki’s most popular turtle snorkeling destinations! Depart conveniently by the Hilton Lagoon right in Waikiki, just minutes from Turtle Canyon, so you can spend less time traveling and more time enjoying the ocean and snorkeling. Our three lifeguard-certified in-water snorkel guides assist guests and help point out marine life throughout the snorkeling tour. All snorkeling equipment and flotation devices are provided. For the best overall experience, we recommend booking one of our earlier tours, as mornings often have calmer ocean conditions and increased turtle activity.

   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.
