About Hawaii Nautical - Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail

Hawaii Nautical 2 or 3 hours

Leave Waikiki behind for a few hours and head out to Turtle Canyon aboard a spacious 65-foot sailing catamaran. Departing from Kewalo Harbor, the cruise gives you open views of Diamond Head and the Honolulu coastline before you settle in at one of Waikiki’s best-known snorkel areas.

Once in the water, you can explore the reef with tropical fish, coral and the chance to see Hawaiian green sea turtles. The lifeguard-certified crew is there to help with gear, snorkeling tips and in-water assistance, which makes the experience approachable whether you are new to snorkeling or already comfortable in the ocean.

Back on board, relax with drinks and light snacks while you enjoy the ride and the view from the deck. The Lunch Snorkel also includes a sandwich or wrap with chips, while the Morning Snorkel does not include a meal.
