What To Expect

Depart from Kewalo Basin for a two-hour snorkeling adventure at Turtle Canyon, one of Waikiki’s best-known reef sites. Your experienced captain and crew will provide a safety briefing and snorkel instruction before entering the water.

All snorkel gear is provided. After snorkeling, relax aboard the boat with complimentary water, soft drinks, and light snacks while enjoying views of Waikiki and Diamond Head before returning to Kewalo Basin.
