2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Chill atmosphere, kind service, and amazing sights among the fish and turtles!

Reviewed by: Nick Pettyjohn

My wife and I had a great time. The two guides, captain and turtle-whisperer, were confident, relaxed, and funny. The pick-up location was incredibly convenient for us, near our hotel on the Waikiki beach strip. The ride to the canyon was just 15 minutes, and looking back on the city was breathtaking.

Once there, we distributed masks and floaty-belts and jumped right in! I foolishly wiped off my mask and it clouded up, but the captain was keen to fix it after I brought it to his attention. The turtle-whisperer was around to spot turtles and check in on our snorkelers, but otherwise we were allowed to roam.

There were quite a few other tour boats and snorkel groups at the site, but we were able to still find turtles and fish while staying a bit away from the groups of other snorkelers. We ended up among a school of black fish and had two turtles swim very close to us! Once while my wife and I were holding hands. A highlight of our vacation!

Don't go into this expecting a private/guided tour of the reef. Instead, it's a relaxing transportation to a great snorkel spot, with equipment included. For this price, I highly recommend it.

Mahalo for such an amazing review and sharing your photos!

  • Looking back on Waikiki. Can see the bucket of snorkel masks.

  • Anchored at turtle canyon. Can see groups of other snorkelers and a school of black fish.

  • The catamaran at the beach before we set out.

  • A view of Waikiki while sailing back from Turtle Canyon.

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

It was so much fun

Reviewed by: Fayeka Fateh

Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

Weak impact. インパクト弱め

Reviewed by: カズヤス

It was a fun and valuable experience, but I can't help but think that it wasn't that rare of an experience.

The slow pace of travel and seeing sea turtles, which I feel like you can see anywhere in Hawaii, lacked impact as the main attraction.

Of course, it was enjoyable!

楽しかったし貴重な体験でしたがそれほど珍しい体験ではないかと思ってしまいます。

ゆっくり過ぎる移動である事やハワイならどこでも見れる気がするウミガメを見るのが目玉ではインパクトに欠けました。

I had a great time. 楽しめました

Reviewed by: K.K.M

On the day of the trip, it was sunny, but there was a bit of a strong wind, and the waves felt high. For those who get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

We departed on time from the harbor next to Prince Waikiki. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the hotels from the sea were beautiful.

The staff were cheerful young men who kindly took photos of each group during the trip. It was also great that we could choose from different time slots: 8:00, 10:30, and 13:00, allowing us to fit it into our schedule.

当日は、晴れていましたが、少し風が強く、波も高いように感じました。船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
プリンスワイキキの横のハーバーから、定刻通りに出航しました。残念ながらクジラには会えませんでしたが、海の上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチ、ホテル群の景色も良かったです。
スタッフの方々も、陽気なお兄さんたちで、合間にはグループ毎に写真を撮ってくれたりと、親切でした。
時間帯も、8時、10時30分、13時と選ぶことができて、自分たちの予定に合わせることができたのも良かったです。

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Excellent sunset and cocktail cruise!

Reviewed by: Sam

We really enjoyed this laid back and super fun evening. Right after we set sail we saw an enormous sea turtle and several surfers who were fun to watch. Then we enjoyed a couple cocktails made by the crew which were great! Something for everyone including mock tails. We left the kids with family while we’re gone for just over 2 hrs, but school aged and pre-teens would probably really enjoy it as well. (The teens on-board all seemed thoroughly bored lol). We started heading back and a few minutes before sunset we stopped to watch the spectacular colors and views. That alone was completely worth it- it was so beautiful. Highly recommend and completely worth it!
