Turtle Reef Snorkel & Sail

Skip Waikiki's crowded shores and head to the clear waters where locals love to snorkel. The Turtle Reef Snorkel & Sail Honolulu adventure aboard the Spirit of Aloha takes you to the outer side of Turtle Canyon reef near Hilton Hawaiian Village—spots you simply can't reach by swimming from the beach. This 2.5-hour excursion gives you access to some of Oahu's best underwater viewing.

You'll start with a scenic sail along Waikiki's coastline before anchoring at Turtle Canyon, where the real magic begins. The outer reef location means far fewer crowds than the beach spots—perfect whether you're new to snorkeling or have been exploring reefs for years.

All the gear you need is provided: snorkel sets, masks, and fins are waiting for you on board. The tour welcomes all ages and includes single-serve snacks plus unlimited soft drinks throughout your journey. Adults get two complimentary drink tickets, with extra alcoholic drinks available for purchase if you're feeling extra tropical.

Between snorkel sessions, the yacht's spacious deck is perfect for soaking up some sun and enjoying the scenery. The sanitized reusable snorkel gear works great, though you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Snorkel vests and fins come standard for everyone.

Your turtle reef snorkel & sail adventure departs from 188 Paoa Place in Honolulu. With free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead and instant confirmation, it's easy to secure your spot. Weather-related cancellations come with full refunds, though no-shows will be charged the full price. This English-language tour offers what many consider the best turtle reef snorkel & sail Honolulu experience on the island.

From $90 per person.
