Turtle Reef Snorkel

Waikīkī’s reef, up close.

A relaxed, guided snorkel out to one of Waikīkī’s known green sea turtle—honu—hangouts. Gear is fitted and explained before anyone enters the water, and crew stay in the water with the group throughout.

The glass-bottom viewing area gives guests who remain aboard a second perspective.

  1. Before departure

    Meet at Kewalo Basin

    Your confirmation will provide the exact slip, arrival window, and participation requirements.

  2. 9:30 AM or 1:00 PM

    Leave the harbor for Waikīkī-facing water

    The two-hour format begins with the shoreline around you and the glass-bottom perspective beneath you.

  3. On the water

    Choose wet or dry participation

    Participating swimmers may enter the water when the operating plan allows; non-swimmers can remain aboard around the viewing portal. Wildlife and visibility are never guaranteed.

  4. Return

    Cruise back to Kewalo

    Your confirmation will provide the complete arrival-to-return plan.
