Oahu: Turtle Canyon Snorkel | Waikiki Beach - 12PM Snorkel & Sail
Description
What better way to start your day than to slip into the refreshing waters of Turtle Canyon and swim with amazing green sea turtles, beautiful tropical fish, and other incredible marine life? Our snorkel guides help you feel confident, safe and at ease as you dive in and explore the beauty just below the surface. Our guides specialize in showing you not only turtles, but also hidden creatures such as a tako (octopus), vana (sea urchin), and so much more! We provide snorkels, masks, fins and snorkel vests to get you out there exploring all the remarkable sea life below! After we've finished snorkeling, we'll hoist the sails and set out around Diamond Head on the search for Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, and in the winter months, we'll be on the lookout for Humpback Whales making their yearly migration. Stretch out on the nets, relax and enjoy complimentary snacks as we cruise along some of the most beautiful scenery on the island!

Excellent tour! The guides were friendly and helpful in the water and on the boat. We were about to see many fish and a few turtles. Loved sailing after by Diamondhead ! Would book again!
We had a great day. All the family loved it. We spotted turtles and saw an octopus. They also were generous with free snacks and drinks and sold lovely cocktails for $5. Would highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience! The Holokai crew was fantastic! They helped our first time snorkelers feel safe and comfortable and made the day so fun. Best part of our trip!
Great, enjoyable, and fun, Thanks
What a great experience we had. Everyone was so nice and professional, but still fun. We did see two sea turtles and they swam right next to us, was pretty surreal experience. When I visit Waikiki again would definitely do a tour with them again.
It was amazing and fun. The guys were great they were very helpful and made the experience extremely fun.
Undertow is quite strong but there was always a guide to tow you to where the group was. I saw 5 turtles, and the water was very clear.
This experience was so disappointing. The boat ride was described as a relaxing experience around diamond head. The captain was going so fast on the choppiest water and everyone had to hold on for dear life. I asked to speak to someone and no one has responded. It’s been a week. Skip this!! The tour guides were also quite rude. Never again
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not match your expectations and that you found the ride distressing. We take all guest feedback seriously and would like to clarify the timeline of our communication. After receiving your refund request and message via TripAdvisor, we reached out to you by phone yesterday, May 17th, and left a voicemail to discuss this with you directly. Our vessel is currently out of the water for its annual dry dock and mandatory safety inspections. Because of this, our clerical staff has been operating on a limited schedule, which unfortunately delayed our response time. We sincerely apologize for keeping you waiting during this maintenance period. Regarding the conditions of your tour, while our captains always strive to provide the smoothest and most relaxing cruise possible, we do operate in the open ocean around Diamond Head. Ocean conditions can change quickly, and navigating these waters does come with inherent motion. Our captains are highly trained professionals who prioritize passenger safety above all else, which can sometimes require adjusting speeds to safely handle choppy swells. That said, we are very disheartened to hear your comments regarding our tour guides, as we pride ourselves on aloha spirit and hospitality. We will be addressing this with our crew internally. We would still love to speak with you directly to resolve this matter. Please feel free to return our call at your earliest convenience, or reach out to our Office Manager at reservations@sailholokai.com so we can connect.
Such an amazing experience!!!! The crew we had were so helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Loved them! This was one of our favorite excursions of our entire trip. 11/10!
This was a fantastic fun way to snorkel with the turtles and see a variety of fish while snorkeling. Staff were super friendly and helpful. All gear was supplied and after snorkeling 🤿 it was lovely way to sail around and see Honolulu from the water after. We had two adults and two teenagers (13 & 15). All had a great time.
