SNORKEL WITH TURTLES
Green sea turtles, or Honu as we call them in Hawaii, are some of the world's most majestic creatures. Experience their magic on our Turtle Guaranteed Snorkel Sail, an opportunity to snorkel and swim as close as possible to Hawaiian green sea turtles.
It's just a hop, skip, and a catamaran sailing from your Waikiki hotel to the famous Turtle Canyon. As the tour name suggests, turtles are so prevalent in the canyon; we guarantee you'll see one (or more!) while exploring the clear blue waters. The three-hour excursion also has special features like a hotel pickup, a picnic lunch, and complimentary use of our snorkel equipment. If you've ever dreamed of swimming with sea turtles, this is the tour for you!

Turtle Guaranteed Snorkel Sail Features
Snorkel With Turtles
This is an enchanting spot where majestic sea turtles gracefully glide above the reef, accompanied by a colorful ensemble of reef fish eagerly tending to their shells. As you snorkel, watch these amazing creatures rise to the surface for a breath of fresh air, delighting spectators aboard the boat. After a fulfilling adventure underwater, indulge in a rejuvenating sun-soaked experience on deck with complimentary snacks and beverages.
Keep a safe distance of at least 10 feet, allowing these magnificent creatures to go about their business undisturbed.
