About this tour

Slip into Waikiki’s blue water for a close-up look at Hawaiian green sea turtles on this Oahu Turtle Canyon snorkeling tour. Departing by the Hilton Lagoon, the boat reaches the popular snorkeling site in just minutes, leaving more time to enjoy the ocean.

Once in the water, experienced, lifeguard-certified snorkel guides help guests and point out marine life. Snorkel gear and flotation devices are provided, and you can look for turtles alongside reef fish, eels, octopus, urchins, rays, and dolphins. Humpback whales may also appear from December through April. When you’re ready to come aboard, relax in the sun with complimentary soft drinks and water.

Morning departures are recommended for often calmer ocean conditions and increased turtle activity. Choose this Oahu Turtle Canyon snorkeling tour for an easy Waikiki departure and an intimate time on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.80 from 534 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 4% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Oahu by this score.
