Turtle Snorkeling Information

  • We’re so confident in our turtle locations that we offer a 100% guarantee – if no turtles are spotted, you’ll receive a full refund or complimentary return trip. Our guides know multiple turtle habitats to ensure sightings.

  • Federal law requires maintaining at least 10 feet distance from Hawaiian green sea turtles for their protection. However, curious turtles often approach snorkelers on their own, providing incredible close encounters while respecting legal guidelines.

  • Hawaiian green sea turtles are generally peaceful and accustomed to respectful human presence. They’re not aggressive but should be observed without touching or chasing. Our guides ensure safe, respectful interactions that benefit both turtles and visitors.

  • Along with guaranteed turtle sightings, you may see tropical fish, eagle rays, dolphins, and vibrant coral formations. Our turtle habitats are rich marine ecosystems hosting diverse Hawaii marine life in pristine underwater environments.

  • No experience required! We provide instruction, high-quality equipment, and guide assistance for beginners. Our turtle locations feature calm, clear waters ideal for first-time snorkelers, with guides available for support and safety.

  • Snorkel gear — mask, fins, and flotation noodles — is provided for every guest on board, so you don't need to haul equipment from your hotel or rent anything separately. The crew does a quick gear-fitting and a genuine snorkel briefing before you enter the water, which means even first-timers aren't fumbling with their mask at the surface while everyone else is already watching a turtle glide by.
  • A gourmet lunch is served on the catamaran after the snorkel stop, and it's a proper meal — think fresh local ingredients, not pre-packaged fare — eaten while the boat sails gently back toward Honolulu. Non-alcoholic beverages are included throughout the trip, and the catamaran's wide deck gives you room to find a shady spot or plant yourself in the sun depending on what you need after your time in the water.
