OperatorIruka Hawaii

Turtle Canyon sits a short sail off Waikiki, a shallow reef where green sea turtles come in to feed and let the cleaner fish work. The water is calm, the bottom is sandy, and you can see the turtles from the surface without diving down.

The catamaran leaves Kewalo Basin, passes the Waikiki shoreline and Diamond Head on the way out, and anchors over the reef. Crew are lifeguard certified and stay in the water with first-time snorkelers. There is a netted bow if you would rather ride up front through the spray.
