Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Once aboard the 'Honi Olani', find a spot on the deck and make yourself comfortable for the 15-minute ride to Turtle Canyon. Listen to music on the surround-sound speaker system and enjoy the scenery as Diamond Head comes in to view. Cash in your two included drink tickets for a selection of cocktails, white wine, sparkling wine or beer. Unlimited non-alcoholic drinks are also available. 

Enjoy the sun and the island breeze while you scan the horizon for marine life like spinner dolphins and migrating whales, which pass through the area between December and April. 

The captain will moor the boat at Turtle Canyon, where you will get a safety briefing. Slip in to the water by climbing down a safe stairway off the boat and spend about an hour to 90 minutes among the turtles with your snorkel guide. 

Back on board after your snorkeling adventure, feel free to take a freshwater shower or change in to dry clothing. Enter the the covered cabin for a deli sandwich buffet (midday tour only), or hang out on the deck to relax and snap photos of Waikiki and the Ko'olau Mountains as you sail back to shore.

Turtle Canyon tour was a blast!

Sorry-I had great pics to share, but you're having a problem receiving them. We had a great time, in large part because of the crew. Beautiful boat took us out into Honolulu Harbor, where we saw many beautiful fish and several turtles. We watched them down below us with our snorkel gear, and then were thrilled to have them surface amongst us(keeping our distance as much as possible). Nice lunch, and generous servings of beverages. And the crew were very solicitous, clearly hoping that we'd have a great time. And we did!

Got to see many turtles!
Danielle_N
, Oct 2021
Overall a good experience, staff was attentive and explained things thoroughly. I loved the boat ride. Only thing is that they guided people to the turtle seeing area only once. My boyfriend and I were one of the few people that started late and we were not able to go to the area where the turtles were. It wasn’t exactly easy to go there alone (the waters were choppy) and the staff didn’t take us there. So we were just snorkeling behind the boat, which did take away from our experience. Luckily there were many instances where a turtle would come up so we were able to see them on top of the water
