Turtle Canyon Snorkel (Semi-Private Boat Tour)

This tour departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu, where passengers board a high-speed inflatable Zodiac boat for a fast ride out to the Turtle Canyon snorkel site. The operator also notes that dolphins, spotted eagle rays, monk seals, octopus, flying fish, and humpback whales may be seen, with whales more likely during the December through April season.

Snorkel gear, life vests, flotation devices, water, and local juice are all included. The tour suits beginners and experienced snorkelers alike. Guests should bring a swimsuit, towel, and reef-safe sunscreen. The boat has no restroom on board, is not handicapped accessible, and the ride is bumpy, so those prone to seasickness or with back, neck, or major health concerns should take that into account before booking. Paid parking is available at the harbor.
