Itinerary and highlights
Depart from Kewalo Basin for a two-hour snorkeling adventure at Turtle Canyon, one of Waikiki’s best-known reef sites. Your experienced captain and crew will provide a safety briefing and snorkel instruction before entering the water.
At Turtle Canyon, our dedicated in-water guides lead the snorkel group through the reef and help guests locate Hawaiian green sea turtles, tropical fish, and other marine life. Guides remain in the water throughout the snorkel to provide direction and support. First-time snorkelers with basic swimming ability can receive additional instruction and use flotation equipment for added comfort.
All snorkel gear is provided. After snorkeling, relax aboard the boat with complimentary water, soft drinks, and light snacks while enjoying views of Waikiki and Diamond Head before returning to Kewalo Basin.
