What To Expect

Snorkeling with sea turtles is one experience you don’t want to miss out on so make sure you set your alarm. You and your group need to be at the meeting point, Pink Sails Waikiki, 30 minutes prior to sailing so you can complete the check-in process.

Once you’re ready to depart, hop on the catamaran and glide out into the waters surrounding Oahu. You’ll spend 2-hours around the Waikiki Turtle Canyon, a haven for marine life including native green sea turtles.

Sit back during the ride listening to the captain talk about sea turtle facts while you enjoy snacks and bottled water. Then, hop in for a swim or snorkel using the equipment provided. After 2-hours of fun, this boat tour ends right back at Pink Sails Waikiki.

Fun outing with the turtles!

Steven_M, Apr 2024

We had a lovely time. Captain Jamie and crew were a lot of fun and found us some turtles! We also happened to cross paths with a pod of spinner dolphins which was really neat! Fun outing for our family of four!

Had a great time. It was...

Had a great time. It was me, my 14 yr old and my 70 yr old mother in law, so a great time for all ages!

Amazing people and amazing experience

Heavenly_A, Apr 2024

Captain Jamie, and crew members Morgan and Ryan were just the best around. From the moment my friend and I got on the boat it was filled with jokes and laughing. The members were very attentive and even took time with me as I have a fear of open water but wanted to conquer it while in Hawaii of all places. I will be going back for my next. We seen quite a few green sea turtles of varying sizes and ages, as well as lots of reef fish school under the boat and right under our feet. Some of them were even brave enough to swim pretty close to the snorkelers. Also excuse my squinting eyes, it’s so bright I recommend sunglasses for when you aren’t in the water. Thank you so much to the lovely crew I had, you guys made my whole trip and I’m thankful for the encouragement of getting over my fear.

Great opportunity to see sea turtles

Diane_B, Mar 2024

Brandon, Ryan and Eric were a great captain and crew. They were very patient with those who never snorkeled before and helped everyone spot some turtles. Two hours was the perfect amount of time for sailing and snorkeling

Awesome and great value.

Audrey_C, Mar 2024

The crew is really helpful and fun, they really point out where the turtles are located, saw plenty of fish and was treated with a side trip to see a Hawaiian humpback whale from a far. Jamie, Duff & Ryan are cool and fun tour guides.

Had a great time, highly recommend.

Fun boat ride

Glen_R, Feb 2024

Another of turtles. If you can't swim don't go. Reef is very deep. I was expecting to stand on reef. When we did whale watching they made it sound that way but I didn't ask debth

Fantastic first time trip!

Kayleigh_D, Feb 2024

The crew was absolutely amazing! And so many fish and turtles! Would definitely recommend! Sam, Morgan and Kaenoa were wonderful!

Well worth it

Evan_S, Feb 2024

This was a great experience. Crew was super friendly, helpful, and funny. They took us on a short trip to see dolphins while we waited for a spot at the snorkel location. Saw tons of turtles and other wild life. 10/10 recommend

Californians gone wild

Candy_M, Feb 2024

We had an amazing time. The crew was very friendly and courteous. The best part of our experience was when my 9 year old was freaking out in the water due to all the fish being by them, I’m sure she’ll cherish that memory forever
