Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Sail

Here's what makes this Waikiki turtle snorkel sail in Kapolei so special – you're practically guaranteed to swim alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles in their natural habitat. Setting out from Kewalo Basin Harbor, just minutes from Waikiki and Ala Moana, you'll spend 2 hours aboard a spacious 65-foot sailing catamaran that's built for comfort and adventure.

The journey begins with a scenic sail past Waikiki's famous coastline and Diamond Head crater. Once we reach the prime snorkeling spots, you'll slip into crystal-clear waters teeming with tropical fish, vibrant coral, and those gentle honu (Hawaiian sea turtles) everyone comes to see. The professional crew knows exactly where to find them and provides all the guidance you need, whether you're a first-timer or seasoned snorkeler.

Your catamaran comes equipped with comfortable seating, onboard bathrooms, shaded areas when you need a break from the sun, and a full bar serving beer, wine, tropical cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. Light snacks keep your energy up between dives. All snorkel gear – masks, snorkels, and fins – comes sanitized and ready to use, plus life jackets for everyone aboard.

Daily departures at 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM make it easy to fit this adventure into your schedule. The turtle guarantee is real – if no turtles show up, you can return free of charge (though that rarely happens around here). Families love this trip since children of all ages are welcome.

Check in 20 minutes early at Slip F28, where paid parking is available. Don't forget your swimsuit, towel, and reef-safe sunscreen. This Waikiki turtle snorkel sail combines the thrill of sailing with some of the best underwater viewing in Hawaiian waters.
