Description
Enjoy a day on the bay with one of Hawaiʻi's dolphin-smart recognized operators. Starting with pickup at your Waikīkī hotel or condo, your driver takes you out to Kewalo basin to board our sailing vessel. Upon boarding the vessel about 11:00am you will be provided what you need to enjoy the water, including snorkel gear and flotation devices.
Setting out from the beautiful coasts, we make our way out to Turtle canyon where you are guaranteed to see and swim with sea turtles. These calm and gentle inhabitants of the Hawaiʻian ocean are a treasured sight. They will slowly but gracefully move through the water as you watch, going about their lives in the comfort of their natural habitat. During the winter season, this tour turns into a whale watching tour as humpback whales visit our waters from December thru April.
You will have lots of time to snorkel with turtles and enjoy the marine life underwater as well as partake in our open bar and buffet-style lunch returning you back to the pier at around 2 pm.
