Sea turtle snorkelling boat tour departing from Honolulu

Sea turtles, known as Honu in the Hawaiian language, are a central part of Hawaiian culture. Not only are sea turtles a symbol of strength in Hawaii, but their presence is a sign of good luck and blessings! There is no feeling like spotting these beautiful and calming creatures in their natural habitat – swimming with turtles in Honolulu is truly a once in a lifetime experience that will stay with you forever!

Your snorkelling boat tour starts from Honolulu’s Kewalo Basin Harbour off of Ala Moana Boulevard, where you will meet your guides and prepare to board the deluxe power catamaran that will take you out to sea. From the harbour you will then travel along Oahu’s south shore towards ‘Turtle Canyon’, Waikiki’s famous sea turtle reef. After an activity briefing and getting equipped with the provided snorkelling gear, you will hop in the water with your guide who will teach you best snorkelling practices and then guide you through the reef whilst sharing their knowledge of marine life. Turtle Canyon is not only rife with sea turtles (there is typically a 95% success rate of spotting sea turtles) but there will be all sorts of tropical fish and other reef creatures to see up close!

After the hour long snorkelling portion of the boat tour, you will be back on the boat to enjoy a relaxing cruise along Waikiki Beach! Not only will you have great views of Waikiki Beach, the Honolulu skyline, and Diamond Head, but you will also get to make use of the complimentary soft drinks, the shaded cabin, spacious seating, a fresh water shower, and a bathroom onboard. As you cruise along Honolulu’s most famous sights there is also a good chance you will spot dolphins and whales (from January - March) in the water too! With the boat tour capped at 6 people, this sea turtle snorkelling and sightseeing cruise from Honolulu will have an intimate feel that will ensure that you get to make the most out of your trip.
