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.

The crew was awesome! High energy the whole time, very personable, and all around made the tour a great experience! We saw at least 15 turtles in the reef while snorkeling! The only downside I would say to this tour is that the reef was very crowded with people from other boats, however I think you’re gonna experience that with any tour your chose!

Nice boat ride as for the snorkeling I wasn’t too happy due to the fact that I didn’t know we would be sharing a snorkel spot with 4 other boats . Which made it way to crowded . I didn’t expect to be packed together with a bunch of people from other tours. If I would have known that I would have just went on a cruise
