Here's your chance to snorkel with turtles – see turtles guaranteed! – aboard the Kahala Kai, a 40-foot sailing catamaran owned right here in Honolulu. Oahu Catamarans has been perfecting this 2-hour turtle encounter since 1985, and they're so confident you'll spot these gentle giants that they offer a full refund if you don't see any.
The Kahala Kai was built specifically for Waikiki's waters, taking you to prime spots where Hawaiian Sea Turtles cruise alongside colorful tropical fish. While turtle sightings are guaranteed, you might also encounter dolphins, seasonal whales, Hawaiian Monk Seals, octopus, and flying fish. Your underwater adventure uses premium snorkeling equipment purchased in May 2024 – everything brand new for crystal-clear views.
Families love this excursion since it welcomes guests from age 1 up. Premium child equipment and Coast Guard approved flotation devices come at no extra charge, regardless of swimming ability. When weather cooperates, you'll enjoy a peaceful sail back to Kewalo Harbor after snorkeling.
Meet at 1025 Ala Moana Boulevard, Pier A – just arrive 30 minutes early for check-in. Your adventure includes all safety and snorkeling gear, water, soda, juice, light snacks, and reef-safe sunscreen upon request. Bring your own reef-safe non-spray sunscreen, bathing suit, and towel.
Important note: the turtle guarantee only applies to bookings made directly through Oahu Catamarans' website or phone. Third-party bookings receive rebooking options or vouchers instead. With flexible cancellation (full refund with 24-hour notice), this snorkel with turtles experience in Honolulu delivers both marine magic and peace of mind for your Hawaiian getaway.
