Snorkel with turtles at O'ahu's Turtle Canyon

Snorkel with Hawaiian turtles and take in the beautiful Waikiki coastline during this Oahu catamaran cruise to Turtle Canyon departing from Honolulu!

The world-famous stretch of Waikiki, with its skyscrapers, thin crescent of sand, crystal clear waters, and multitude of surfers, is best observed from out at sea! As your catamaran cruise makes its way from the harbour towards the snorkelling spot at Turtle Canyon, you will have a fabulous panoramic view of the Honolulu coast, bustling Waikiki, and the awe-inspiring diamond head crater – a few of Oahu’s most iconic sights!

Turtle Canyon itself is an incredible snorkelling and diving paradise right off the coast of Waikiki, full of coral reef and marine life, and steeped in history! Developed over thousands of years by volcanic activity, the canyon is not only a sanctuary for marine life but was also a revered site to ancient Hawaiians and is a key part of Hawaiian mythology. This special snorkelling spot is most notably home to the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, known as ‘Honu’ in the Hawaiian language, and the Hawksbill Turtle known as ‘Ea. Snorkelling the magical waters of Turtle Canyon is truly a must-do when visiting Oahu! Once you are in the water, your guide will get in the water with you to lead you towards the turtles and other marine life so that you don’t miss a thing while snorkelling in Turtle Canyon.

After your time in the water snorkelling and swimming, back on the boat the crew will pass around complimentary drinks and snacks while you enjoy the ride back to shore. For those who would like to bring their own snacks and drinks, there will also be coolers on board for you to store your fare. During the sailing portion of the Oahu boat tour, you will have the option to lounge on the netted bow to catch some sun and feel the splash of the waves, or relax on deck under the shade – either way, you will be comfortable and taken care of as you drink in the sights and immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of Hawaii!
