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.

We take great pride in showing our customers the best experience possible. Our brand new 2025 boat is built to hold 49 passengers but we restrict all of our snorkels to 28 passengers onboard. Being with a smaller group is not only more intimate and a better experience. But it also allows our group to be more agile in the water at the reef so that we can show you everything there is to see!

In addition to turtles, you might see other local marine life. This includes various types of reef fish, eels, octopus, urchins, rays, and dolphins. Humpback whales can also be seen during our whale season.

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, harass, chase, or ride the turtles. We ask that you please enjoy their beauty from at least 10 feet away. Mahalo!
