Private Catamaran Snorkel Sail: Turtle Canyon Reef

Glide on a private luxury catamaran to Turtle Canyon, where Hawaiian green sea turtles glide through vibrant coral reefs just off Waikiki. Snorkelling, sun, and open-ocean freedom — pure Pacific luxury.

What to expect

Your crew of two casts off from Kewalo Basin and sails 20 minutes to Turtle Canyon, a protected reef frequented by Hawaii's beloved honu (green sea turtles). Snorkel gear, fins, and flotation are provided; a certified guide enters the water with you. Chilled champagne, fresh tropical fruit, and a gourmet deli platter await back on deck as you sail home under diamond-blue skies. Dolphins are frequent bonus guests on the return leg.

Good to know

Kewalo Basin is a 10-min rideshare from the cruise piers. Charters depart 8 am and 12 pm; the morning slot offers the calmest seas and best visibility. Book well in advance — private charters fill fast on port days.
