Go Snorkeling With Turtles in Honolulu
Join us on a snorkel excursion to Turtle Canyon, a set of coral reefs that act as a cleaning station for the Hawaiian green sea turtles that migrate between the islands. Explore the reefs and all of the docile marine life that calls them home, where you will find yourself floating alongside turtles, and possibly spotting He’e (octopus), Ka Hoku Kai (starfish), and other marine life native to the Hawaiian islands. Our staff will be there every step of the way, guiding you to the best spots, offering to take photos, and most importantly, providing assistance in the water (if needed).
Find yourself wanting a break while in the water? No problem! You can hop back on board the boat at any moment.

Dive into the magical waters of Waikiki!
As you swim off of the coast of the world famous Waikiki beach, you will realize you’ve found your very own piece of paradise. Just far away enough from the bustling travelers and crowded beaches, the crystal-clear water will bring a calmness and serenity like no other. Spotting fish, turtles, and occasionally, dolphins while in the water is a magical experience that is impossible to forget. For those who prefer to take in the views from the comfort of the catamaran, the Moana boasts ample cushioned seating in all areas of the vessel, along with two netted lounge areas perfect for sipping on an ice cold refreshment and enjoying the music. After our swim, we set sail and race past the most photographed location in all of Hawaii, Diamond Head Crater*. Along the way we might even see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins or flying fish (Malolo)*; first one past Diamond Head wins!
*Sailing experience dependent on weather conditions. While we do travel to locations where wildlife is frequently seen, sightings cannot be guaranteed.
