Honolulu Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour - Small Group & Photo Package

★ 4.9 (158 reviews) · By Hawaii Apex Charters

Experience the magic of Hawaii's marine life with the Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour — a semi-private adventure designed for small groups, with a maximum of 6 participants. This intimate tour ensures you get close to sea turtles in their natural habitat, all while respecting their space by avoiding overcrowding.

Our tour includes professional photo and video packages, capturing your unforgettable moments. Our photos have been recognized with first place in Honolulu's Wildlife Magazine and featured on the cover of "The Ocean Speaks." Along the way, you'll learn about Hawaiian culture and the importance of wildlife conservation from our knowledgeable guides.

Keep in mind, we don't drop you directly at Turtle Canyon. Instead, you'll follow our guide and swim 10-20 yards to the spot. Weather, ocean tides, and currents can affect the experience, but safety always comes first. If conditions aren't suitable, we'll reschedule or cancel for your safety and enjoyment.
