Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Great Experience, Steven was an awesome instructor!

Reviewed by: Steve & Melissa

This was an incredible experience. Our guide Steven did a fabulous job and gave my wife and daughters the confidence to give snorkeling a real try. I would definitely recommend this again, and then take that experience and go to a better snorkeling location. Great way to try it out and make sure you able and ready before making the expensive snorkeling investment!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Awesome cruise- Great crew!

Reviewed by: Acook

We went on a 12:15 snorkel cruise and had a great time. Crew was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. 90 mins was just the right amount of time for snorkel. Saw lots of turtles and got great pictures. Snorkel area itself is a little crowded at times but everyone was helpful in locating turtles and respectful of peoples space. Drinks were great after we got back on the boat. Overall A++ experience!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Life vest

Reviewed by: HNL

Horrible life vests. Blow up air in them and slowly air releases and don’t realize until in the water. Vests had small holes in them. This is risky for adults and kids. Need to have life jackets so air does not release. Snorkeling is done in the middle of ocean and shore. At times difficult to see fishes and turtles.

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

Snorkel

Reviewed by: Rodney

The boat and the ride was fun. The current in the water was a little strong so it was hard to go snorkeling. The kids really struggled and so did the majority of the adults. Most of the kids held on to a rope or to the boat itself. Would have been nicer in calmer waters. The cost was on the low end. So for the boat ride we enjoyed ourselves

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Not what I expected- expensive- no turtles- no fun on board- unfriendly crew.

Reviewed by: Just J

Let me start by saying that I’m used to going to tours where the crew is super fun and wild so I was expecting a lot more from a tour that offers cocktails. To get a drink you basically had to chase someone to get you one because it wasn’t like someone was there standing and serving drinks, they were busy eating their own lunch and chatting. Second, I’m used to crew assisting others that need help getting in and out of boat or at shore or struggling, this crew did not assist at all, you were on your own. So if you really do not know how to snorkel or are a start swimmer, you’re on your own. The turtles, well the snorkelers did not see any, the people on board said they saw 2. Could be that the reason none were around is because besides our boat that area is flooded with like 2 other boats filled with other snorkelers and this scares off the poor turtles. Overall a mediocre experience. Did not really enjoy it and not worth the cost. Would not recommend unless you’re taking it just to go for a cruise.

Reviewed by: Anne L

Great time snorkeling with Alexio, Jonah, Noah and Brandon. Don’t let their youthful look fool you. These guys are courteous, knowledgeable and very friendly. My youngest had so much fun she didn’t even realize it was time to go back to the ship! Would do this again in a heartbeat! ♥️

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Awesomeness!!!

Reviewed by: Cheryl M.

My husband and my kids ages 9 and 14 enjoyed this excursion. It wasn’t too short or too long, just perfect 90 minutes. I was amazed by the professionalism, fun and accommodation by the crew: Alec, Dave and Mina. I had severe motion sickness which was my fault for not taking Dramamine ahead of time. Good thing was the crew was quick and provided me unlimited ice chips and water. I left 2 pairs of our water shoes and wasn’t sure if I can still retrieve it. Happily they kept it until I picked it up today. The whole team and this activity is full of awesomeness. Next time I visit here from the Bay Area, I’ll make sure to do this activity again with this crew.

Awesome snorkeling trip!!

Reviewed by: Marina Ferguson

The guys here are amazing. We had some much fun. They were really funny and conversed with you as well. After we were done looking at the turtles we got drinks, that's because of the package I got. But my sister, my friend and I loved it. It's worth the money, I would highly recommend this adventure and we were actually able to see turtles. They would point out where the turned were and we would take pictures, the ones who had GoPros. One of them even went all the way down and recorded it but I think I might've not hit the recording button so idk if we got the video, that's on me. But still I was so nice fun!!!

Reviewed by: Alex

Boat was very nice, friendly staff, but we stopped at 1 site for a while and didn’t see any turtles, then when we got to the more popular spot there were already 4 more boats and we only got to see 1 turtle. The staff didn’t come in the water with us either to help spotting turtles. Other boats had at least 1 crew in the water to guide their group towards the right spot.

Great Trip!

Reviewed by: Erinn B

The crew were amazing! They not only showed us where to find all the turtles while we snorkeled (saw about 5/6 different turtles surfacing a million times right next to us), they followed a pod of dolphins for a while so we could get a good view and watch them in their element. We drove around the water for a bit before going back as well so you can snack and drink after snorkeling. The weather was amazing and we were the only boat out there (did the 8AM tour) for majority of the time so had all the ocean to ourselves! Some people didn’t/couldn’t snorkel but they hanged out on the Net of the Catamaran with their drinks and still had a great time napping and drinking lol.

This cruise was so amazing. The water and the view looked beautiful. Got to see turtles and fish. Definitely need to be a decent swimmer if you want to be successful at getting to we're the turtles are at but you are provided with life jackets. And the bonus is after your done snorkeling the host give you Mai Tai's and beers on the trip back to shore! I would highly recommend this cruise it was one of the highlights of my trip!
