Snorkeling Adventure at Turtle Canyon
Overview
What sets Aloha Sails Waikiki apart is the perfect blend of a high-energy ocean adventure and the warm, personalized hospitality of a private club. Unlike the large, crowded tour boats where you’re just a number, we focus on a personalized experience.
Our crew doesn't just hand out gear; they are your underwater guides and hosts, ensuring every guest—from first-time snorkelers to seasoned divers—feels safe, seen and celebrated. Whether it’s the thrill of a sea turtle gliding inches away or the simple joy of a cold drink on a sun-drenched deck, we prioritize the "Aloha Spirit" in every interaction.

What To Expect
Imagine the feeling of the warm Pacific breeze on your skin as you sail away from the bustle of the city toward the serene turquoise waters of Turtle Canyon. As you slip into the ocean, the world above goes quiet, replaced by the vibrant, rhythmic life of the reef. You’ll feel a sense of pure wonder as majestic Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu) drift gracefully through their natural "cleaning station," surrounded by clouds of tropical fish.
This isn't just a snorkel trip; it’s an invitation to disconnect and rediscover your sense of adventure. On board, our crew treats you like family—sharing local stories, anticipating your needs before you even ask, and ensuring the vibe is always relaxed and welcoming. From the moment you step onto our deck to the final sail back to shore, you’ll experience a level of genuine guest attention that turns a simple tour into the highlight of your Hawaiian vacation.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
