Overview

Quotes Logo Turtle Canyon Snorkel from Waikiki guarantees turtle sightings on every tour! This isn't just a boat ride; it's a chance to swim with gentle Hawaiian green sea turtles in their natural habitat. With a smaller group size, it's a more personal and unforgettable ocean adventure.

The boat trip cruises along the beautiful Waikiki coastline to Turtle Canyon, a reef famous for attracting turtles that come to have their shells cleaned by reef fish. Keep an eye out for other marine life like reef fish, eels, octopus, and maybe even dolphins or Humpback Whales (December to April). Experienced crew members guide snorkelers around Turtle Canyon, helping them get the most out of their wildlife encounter.

After snorkeling, guests can relax on board with complimentary drinks and soak up the Hawaiian sun. Remember, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles are protected, so admire them from a distance of at least 10 feet.
