15 Best Turtle & Reef Snorkeling Tours On Oahu

Oahu’s best days out.

Oahu reefs sit in bath-warm water a short boat ride off the south and west shores, and the green sea turtle, the honu, grazes them out in the open. The snorkel cruises below run to spots like Turtle Canyon and the reefs past Waikiki, most with the gear, a guide in the water, and a glass-bottom or deck option for anyone happy to stay dry.

Some are quick two-hour morning runs, some add a catamaran sail, lunch and a waterslide off the back of the boat. These are the most popular, with what they include, how long they last and the price per person.
