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

Awesome Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise!

Reviewed by: Rachel D

My fiance and I had such a wonderful time on this cruise! It was our first time snorkeling, and we were a little nervous (for fellow first timers, the apparatus feels a little uncomfortable and claustrophobic on the boat, but feels so much better in the water)! However, the whole crew put us at ease and were super patient with us, helping us to get the perfect fit with our goggles and apparatus. Nicole even gave me one of her hair ties when I forgot mine! The lifeguards were great, helping us to find the best spots to watch turtles and fish, taught us a ton, and even dove down to get an octopus for us to pet. They were great about checking on everyone and making sure we were ok, comfortable, and having fun. The music and mai tais were excellent, and everyone was so friendly and sweet. They offered to take pictures without us even asking! This cruise is such an amazing deal for the price, and was for sure one of the highlights of our first trip to Oahu. My only advice is to be near Duke's at the Outrigger early, there is not super clear signage for where the boat comes in, so go to the bathroom and bring everything you might need so you have time to find the boat. Thanks for an amazing time!

Fun Day on the Water

Reviewed by: Kara

We saw lots of fish and turtles almost the whole time snorkeling. I highly recommend this tour. It was only an hour and a half from getting out there in the catamaran to docking back in. The beverages, especially the Mai Tai’s were delicious as well.

Meeting with the turtle 亀さんとの出会い

Reviewed by: TOSI

We were able to participate as a family. There was an initial explanation, but I could hardly understand it in English. Just before entering the water, I realized that wearing the rental life jackets was not optional for those diving; everyone had to wear one. It would be easier to understand if there were boards displaying information in multiple languages.

The snorkeling was fantastic, with clear weather and a wonderful encounter with a turtle. There were some waves as we headed out to sea, and I got a bit seasick. Participants should be cautious about that. However, even in that situation, I felt safe. The staff were kind and helped me recover quickly.

At the end, we took a commemorative photo with the staff. It was a great memory to be able to swim with the turtle as well.

家族で参加できました。
最初の説明がありましたが、英語でほとんど理解できず、海に入る直前に、レンタルの救命胴衣は希望者ではなく、潜る人は皆着用必須であることがわかりました。各国語表示の掲示板のようなものがあると理解しやすいのになと思います。
シュノーケリングは天候も快晴でカメさんとの出会いもあり最高でした。
沖合に出るため、多少波があり、波酔してしまいました。参加する人は注意しましょう。しかしそうなっても、安心です。スタッフさんが優しく対応してくれすぐに回復しました。
最後はスタッフさんと記念撮影。亀さんとも一緒に泳ぐことができいい思い出になりました。

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

Amazing Turtle Watching

Reviewed by: Mac

Absolutely loved my excursion with this crew. Hands down the best snorkeling experience I had. There were 4 crew members and all were very nice and accommodating. They made us feel at home with drink service (juice, water, alcohol) as well as an awesome playlist. One of the guys, Justin (with long blonde hair) was in the water with us guiding us to where the turtles were. He even dove with my GoPro and got some epic footage. The trip all-in-all was about 90 min, which is perfect. I think a longer tour would have been too much personally. We spent a little over an hour in the water. HIGHLY recommend booking this trip. Thanks fellas! I had a blast

Reviewed by: Florida Travelers

The staff (captain and 2 mates and life guard) were exceptionally helpful. They explained everything, we’re very prompt and watchful. We saw the turtles at Turtle Canyon…AMAZING! I’m so sorry I don’t remember the crew’s names, but suffice it to say, they were excellent. Reviewed safety cautions and had refreshing beverages for the trip home.

Unfortunately the water was very choppy the day we went out and I experienced pretty bad seasickness the whole time. Unfortunately they did not have anti-nausea medicine like Dramamine on board. It was a very bad couple hours for me unfortunately.

big fat turtles!

Reviewed by: J.L.

It does get pretty crowded around the snorkelling site, as there are lots of tour boats which will come to Turtle Canyon.
The site is close to Waikiki Beach, so it's a pretty short boat ride.

The turtles will occasionally surface. Make sure to stay six feet away from them to give them some room.

Encountered a large pod of dolphins! イルカの大群に遭遇‼︎

Reviewed by: ririka

I participated once before the COVID-19 pandemic and had a very valuable experience, so I joined again after about three years! On the day I participated, the wind was strong and the waves were high, which reduced the water's clarity. As a result, when the honu dove, it quickly became hard to see them, and I didn't spot them as often as during my previous visit. However, I was able to see a few honu, and just as I was about to head back to the boat, I spotted a large pod of dolphins in the distance. One of them jumped high like in a dolphin show, and I was so excited! Just when I thought the excitement couldn't get any better, the pod of dolphins started swimming towards us, and in the end, I was able to swim with the dolphins too! It was the best experience to encounter both honu and dolphins!

コロナ禍前に一度参加し、大変貴重な体験ができたため、約3年ぶりに参加させて頂きました!
私が参加した日は風が強く波が高かったため、海の透明度が低く、ホヌが潜ってしまうとすぐに見えなくなってしまい、前回参加した際よりもホヌを見える回数があまり多くありませんでした。しかし、何度かホヌを見ることができたため、船に戻ろうとしたところ、遠くにイルカの大群を見つけ、一匹はイルカショーのように大きくジャンプしてくれて、大興奮していました!大興奮していたのも束の間、だんだんとイルカの大群が私たちの方に泳いできて、最終的にはイルカとも泳ぐことができました‼︎
ホヌもともイルカとも出会えて最高の体験でした‼︎

Not as good as anticipated

Reviewed by: Brenda

I’m not sure if my expectations were too high or what but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I still had a good time and we did see one turtle. The crew was great so no complaints there. As far as the beer and cocktails go….they offer them to you about 10 minutes before you get off the boat so you have time for about one lol!! The day we went there really wasn’t even hardly any fish to see. Plus there were so many other boats in the same exact place it just felt crowded.

I booked the morning turtle snorkel tour hoping that time would ensure we saw turtles and we did! There were 5 turtles and occasionally 1 would surface near us and then swim back down. Great experience seeing them up close.
This tour was the best price I found and since it's a short sail, glad I did.

It's not cheap, but it's worth it. 安くはないですが価値ありです。

Reviewed by: vanilla

It was my first time back in Hawaii in three years, and my first time participating in this cruise in three years as well. The weather was probably the best I've ever experienced. The ocean seemed to be clearer than before. Wearing masks is optional. If you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring your own mask and snorkel. Prices have gone up compared to before, but the easy snorkeling off Waikiki and the enjoyable cruising experience are worth it.

3年ぶりのハワイ、3年ぶりのこのクルーズへの参加でした。今までで多分1番のお天気。海がキレイになったような気がします。マスク着用は自由です。気になる方はマイマスク、シュノーケル持参がいいかもしれません。以前と比べて値上がっていますが、ワイキキ沖でのお手軽シュノーケル、気持ちいいクルージングは価値ありです。
