Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour
The Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour departs from Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu and heads by boat to Turtle Canyon, a reef snorkel site off the coast of Oahu. After a safety briefing and equipment handout, guests enter the water and snorkel the canyon with guidance from the crew, who are certified divers and lifeguards experienced in these waters. Top-quality fins, a mask, and a snorkel are provided. Guests must know how to swim and tread water to enter the water, though non-swimmers may stay on board and observe. Infants and toddlers must be held or carried by a guardian, and children require a parent or guardian. Sunscreen must be applied before arriving at the boat. Morning slots are recommended for calmer conditions and more wildlife activity. Photography and video packages are available at an additional cost, and gratuity is not included. Arrive early to allow time to find parking and locate the meeting point.
Marine Wildlife Snorkel Tour: Sea Tiger Shipwreck & Sharks
This tour departs from Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu and heads offshore to snorkel above the Sea Tiger, a large shipwreck sitting on the ocean floor. Guests gear up with provided mask, fins, and snorkel before entering the water for the snorkel portion of the trip. While at the surface, snorkelers may encounter turtles, sharks, dolphins, and pelagic fish such as tuna. Guides enter the water alongside guests, spearfish during the outing, and share information about the marine life in the area, local fishing traditions, and ocean conservation practices. The itinerary also includes a view of Diamond Head Crater and the Ala Moana Bowls surf spot from the boat. The tour is rated moderate in physical intensity and requires confident swimming ability. It is conducted in English and runs in a small group setting. Equipment is included, though bottled water is not. Touching fish, turtles, or sharks is not permitted.
Private Friday Night Sunset & Fireworks Tour
This private boat tour departs from Ala Moana Boulevard on Friday evenings and follows the southern coastline of Oahu. The route takes in Waikiki and Diamond Head Crater, and then the boat heads just outside the Hilton Village to watch fireworks from the water. Depending on the season, guests may see a full sunset before the fireworks begin, or the sky will shift through sunset colors during the cruise and the fireworks will follow. An optional swim stop lets guests get into the water along the way. The tour is private and holds a small number of guests, so it runs as a chartered outing rather than a shared cruise. Guests can connect their own playlist through the boat speakers and are welcome to bring their own food and drinks. The listing asks guests to bring paper cups since glass is not safe on the boat. Snorkeling gear is included. The meeting point is on Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu.
Custom Private Tour
Hawaii Apex Charters LLC offers a private boat tour designed around whatever the group wants to do. The format is open: a relaxed day on the water with friends, a photo session for social media or brand content, a couples outing with photos taken along the way. Guests send a message ahead of time describing what they have in mind, and the operator works to make it happen. A guide is included, and photos are provided as part of the experience. The tour is rated low intensity and easy, making it a comfortable fit for people who want time on the water without a demanding itinerary. Anyone booking must be an adult, as the listing requires guests to be of a certain age to reserve.
Private Sunset Tour
The Private Sunset Tour with Hawaii Apex Charters LLC meets at Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu and heads along the southern coastline of Oahu. The route takes guests past Waikiki and toward Diamond Head Crater, timing the cruise to catch the sunset. The boat is private, meaning the group aboard is kept to a small number of guests rather than being combined with strangers on a larger vessel, which suits families or friend groups who want the boat to themselves. Guests can connect a phone to the onboard Bluetooth speakers and play their own music throughout the trip. The tour is BYOB, and paper cups are welcome on the boat, though glass cups are not. Water, towels, and gratuity are not included, so plan accordingly. No hotel pickup is provided, so guests arrange their own transportation to the meeting point on Ala Moana Boulevard. After boarding, the crew gives introductions and a safety speech before the boat heads out, and the itinerary wraps up after the sunset portion of the cruise.
Private Whale-Watching Tour
The meeting point is on Ala Moana Blvd in Honolulu, and guests make their own way there since no hotel pickup is available. Once on board, the crew heads out to search for whales, watching for spouts and sharing information about whale behavior and marine conservation. The team has traveled across the Polynesian islands studying whale behavior and focuses on approaching animals with care and respect throughout the trip. The group is kept small, giving guests a quieter, more personal time on the water than a larger charter would offer. Life jackets and Bluetooth boat speakers are included. Water, sunscreen, and gratuity are not included, so plan to bring them. Sunscreen must be applied before boarding. No refund is given if no whales are spotted. Waivers must be signed before boarding, and guests should arrive early enough to complete check-in.
