Cruise from Waikiki to Turtle Canyons for a 2-hour snorkel with sea turtles, tropical fish, and light refreshments.

About this tour

Explore the clear waters of Waikiki Turtle Canyons on an Oahu snorkeling cruise, where sea turtles and colorful tropical fish bring the underwater world to life. This 2-hour outing pairs a coastal boat ride with time to swim and observe marine life up close.

Cruise along the coast, keeping watch for spinner dolphins and, during winter months, humpback whales. At Turtle Canyons, the crew provides a brief snorkeling lesson and equipment before you enter the water. Snorkel alongside sea turtles under the supervision of a certified lifeguard, then return to the boat whenever you like to relax with light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

With a guide speaking English and snorkeling gear provided, this Waikiki Turtle Canyons cruise makes it easy to enjoy Oahu’s marine life from both the water and the boat. Bring your swimwear and a towel, and set out for a memorable ocean adventure.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.74 from 876 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 8.7. Top 7% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Oahu by this score.
