Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

Sehr schöne Tour, viele Schildkröten zu sehen

Reviewed by: Eisenhans01

Sehr schöne Tour, Moana Team nett, kompetent, freundlich. Man sieht viele Schildkröten. Aber, der Spot vor Waikiki ist overcrowded, viele Auslugsboote kommen dorthin, mit ebenso vielen anderen Schnorchlern. Leider sind nicht alle rücksichtvoll und halten sich an die Regeln (dont touch the turtles, keep distance). Wenn das so weitergeht kann man drauf warten, dass der Spot zum Schutz der turtles geschlossen werden wird :-(

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

Good Option

Reviewed by: J Krieger

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.

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

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。

  • 海からの景色

  • 魚がたくさん!

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

A must-do for Waikiki visitors

Reviewed by: Laura@HawaiianTravel

What a great snorkel experience. This is a must-do for all Waikiki visitors. Cost wise, it is a great value, and only takes up 2 hours of your day. We saw about 6 turtles and lots of colorful fish. The crew was very nice & helpful. So glad we did this and would highly recommend to others.

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

So many Turtles!!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!

  • just one of the many we saw!

Pink Sails Waikiki 2-Hour Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise with Light Snacks from Ala Wai Harbor

Tons of turtles & lots of fun!

Reviewed by: L.S. Yamanaka

I took my niece on this snorkel sail, and we both had a fantastic time. The captain and crew are so friendly, and we great about making sure we were both safe and comfortable in the water. Not only were there lots of fish at the snorkel spot, but we saw a bunch of turtles as well. The crew is also really good about making sure we didn't get too close to them, but also pointed out the turtles when they would come to the surface. The snacks they provided were greatly appreciated after over an hour of swimming and snorkeling, and I loved that they turned off the motor on the way back to the harbor so we could actually sail with just the sound of the ocean and wind. 10/10 would recommend!

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

This tour is definitely worth doing!

Reviewed by: Michelle

I've been to Oahu many times. I brought my fiance this time since he's never been. I wanted him to try out snorkeling and see things other than fish, so the turtle tour was a perfect fit. Honestly the crew did a great job. Even the people we had on the boat with us doing the tour was a wonderful group. The only few downsides were: it rained. And I mean it poured! Not for very long and I'm sure the people in the water didn't notice it much, but I was sitting on the boat at the time and I was trying to cover our backpack and towels, since we would need them to dry off later, and it was coming down like pellets. But it didn't last more than 10-15 min and was more or less over. But the sky stayed dark making it hard to see through the already dark water. The turtles became less visible and it made our whole group decide to get out of the water and come back onto the boat to head back in. We were out there for a good amount of time but not the full time. The other problem we had was it got very crowded in the water looking at the turtles. 4 other boats full of passengers were doing other turtle tours as well. There was just a lot of people bumping into each other. I tried to stay away from most people and still saw a ton of turtles, but my fiance on the other hand had a harder time. It was also scary when I'd look up and not see him through all these other people. The last problem was that there were a few people who didn't know how to swim or snorkel. So it took a long time to explain how to use the snorkel equipment and pass out floaties. The positives were the boat was smooth sailing. Everyone was on time and nice. The turtles were wonderful. Hard to see them when they get super deep but they were big and beautiful and did not disappoint. Lots of fish to see too. The couple who run the boat are wonderful and so are there family who came and helped out as well. For the price I would definitely recommend this and probably do it again when we go back!

  • Sept 3rd 2022. It rained. Not for very long though.

Amazing

Reviewed by: Giselle

To be the first time snorkeling for the whole family, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to be only party that day so we practically had a private tour the whole boat for ourselves. My husband and girls had the best time ever.
The whole crew took good care of us 6, one of them stood in the water the whole time making sure we were ok. They provided refreshments and ensured we were ok throughout the whole trip.

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

SO MANY TURTS!

Reviewed by: Tom C

The experience was brilliant from start to finish. When we first arrived, we were worried there was no clear booth for arrival, but THEN like Maui himself on the ocean, the catamaran came out of the waves and docked right on the beach! The friendly crew checked us in, told us to grab some snacks if we wanted and then got us onboard.

They said if we wanted a fun, but wet, ride, we should sit on the net at the front. We did, and got SOAKED by waves and it was so fun!

We got to turtle canyon and were given high quality snorkels and instructions. There were other groups there, only one of them were slightly annoying but there’s plenty of turtles to go around!

We saw more than 15 turtles, ranging from babies to grown ups. They got so close but don’t forget- don’t be a turtle toucher!!! They were so visible and it was a once in a lifetime experience. We are still in Waikiki and honestly considering doing it again!

Do not book ANY other turtle snorkel experience in Waikiki other than this one!!!

5 stars and a huge tip

I participated again because I had a great time last time (in 2018). You can see many beautiful fish. Above all, I was moved by the Honu that comes close to you. The Honu approaches you (laughs). This time, my family was the only Japanese participants. I feel like it was the same last time. I don't really like tours with a lot of Japanese participants, so I appreciate that aspect as well.

前回(2018年)も楽しかったので、再度、参加しました。
キレイな魚がたくさん見れます。
何よりも間近で見れるHonuには感動します。
Honuの方から近付いてきます(笑)
今回、日本人は私達家族だけでした。
前回もそうだった気がします。
日本人がたくさん参加するツアーがあまり好きではないので、そんなところも気に入っています。

Great Boat & Crew….BUT.

Reviewed by: Scotty138

Had a great time. BEST BOAT AND CREW I’VE HAD! Crew was fun, instructional and well-prepared. Handled us in an AWESOME manner with Aloha. The “big let down” was the sheer number of the other boats trying to come into the same small area. There were 7 other boats very close to us. I kept being bumped into by swimmers from other boats. It’s freaking ridiculous! And I know there’s nothing you guys can do to control that so I can’t hold it against you. But it would be nice if the tourism board or the county did some thing to limit it. Especially when your boat has been doing this much longer than the others.
