Small Waikiki Snorkel Catamaran

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Sail just off Waikīkī on a small-group catamaran and snorkel alongside sea turtles in crystal-clear waters. Where calm seas, vibrant reefs, and an intimate setting let you experience Hawaiʻi without the crowds.

  • Snorkel Turtle Canyon’s turquoise waters with abundant green sea turtles
  • Sail on a small-group catamaran that feels personal, quiet, and close to the water
  • Relax on the open deck with plenty of spacious lounging space
  • Glide along Waikīkī’s coastline with views of Diamond Head
  • Spot colorful reef fish with premium snorkel gear included
  • Enjoy calm offshore cruising with attentive, safety-certified crew

Quick Local Tip: Once the boat anchors, scan the surface for drifting shadows before you jump in, those soft outlines usually reveal where the turtles are cruising so you can swim in the right direction from the start.

What to Expect

Board your catamaran at Ala Wai Boat Harbor and cruise beyond Waikīkī toward Turtle Canyon, one of Oʻahu's most popular snorkeling reefs. As Diamond Head and the Honolulu skyline stretch along the coastline, the crew provides a brief snorkel orientation while you relax and enjoy the scenic ride offshore.

At Turtle Canyon, slip into the clear water to explore vibrant coral reefs, colorful tropical fish, and Hawaiian green sea turtles, which are frequently seen visiting this natural cleaning station. Premium snorkel gear and flotation devices are provided, allowing you to enjoy the reef comfortably at your own pace while the crew remains nearby for guidance.

After snorkeling, climb back aboard for a leisurely cruise along Waikīkī's coastline before returning to Ala Wai Boat Harbor. Take in the ocean views, relax on deck, and enjoy one last look at Diamond Head before heading back to shore.
