Discover the underwater world off Honolulu on this guided snorkeling adventure to Turtle Canyon, one of the city's favorite reef sites. Your experience begins at the dive shop, where you meet your guide and receive a briefing on the snorkeling spots. You then cruise out by boat, taking in views of the Waikiki coastline and the scenery of Oahu along the way. At Turtle Canyon, a surface session gives you the chance to spot marine life before you slip into the water to swim alongside green sea turtles. Glide over coral reefs and keep watch for sharks, stingrays, octopus and colorful fish. An English-speaking guide leads the trip, snorkelers receive premium snorkel gear, and a safety orientation, refreshments and snacks are included. Guests who do not want to snorkel can book a Boat Rider ticket and stay on board as a ride-along. After your time in the water, relax on deck and share the experience with your crew as you sail back to Waikiki, enjoying the shoreline before returning to the dive shop. The whole adventure lasts about three hours, a half-day outing for swimmers who want to see Hawaii's green sea turtles in their natural habitat.
