Hawaii Waikiki Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour

Turtle Canyon, Where Turtles Gather

Turtle Canyon is a shallow reef a short sail from Waikiki where green sea turtles gather to be cleaned by reef fish. This natural 'service station' brings them back day after day, making it a great place to see turtles.

Catamaran Snorkeling

The catamaran anchors above the coral, and the crew fit gear and run through the briefing. Then you float over the reef in warm, clear water. Turtles graze below and rise past you to breathe; parrotfish, butterflyfish and tang move across the coral heads, and the visibility is usually excellent.

Flotation aids and in-water guides mean confidence is not a requirement.

Sailing the Waikiki Waters

The sail itself is worth the trip, with Diamond Head off the stern, the Waikiki hotel line along the shore, and occasionally spinner dolphins keeping company alongside the hulls.

※ Duration is typically 90 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on the operator.

※ Multiple departures daily, generally between 8:00 and 16:00 (weather and sea conditions permitting).
