Come aboard the Spirit of Aloha for an Oahu adventure to remember! The Spirit of Aloha is a 54-foot sailing catamaran, one of the largest and newest catamarans boarding along Waikiki Beach.

Taking you on a relaxing cruise to Turtle Canyon where you can be one with nature and bask in the beautiful weather, views, and island life, the Spirit of Aloha, operated by Port Waikiki Cruises, is your ticket to some Oahu adventure and fun–spirit of aloha, indeed!

Port Waikiki Cruises’ Hilton Turtle Snorkel Sail, through the Spirit of Aloha, departs from the Hilton Pier, either before lunch right in time for the Lunch Sail Tour, or after lunch for the Afternoon Sail Tour. With the azure waters and skies that surround you, plus the warm breeze and lovely Hawaiian weather, you and the rest of your tour group will surely take pleasure in this brief cruise to the snorkel location. Upon your arrival at Turtle Canyon, the real adventure begins!

After the crew briefs you with the pre-snorkel instructions, and after putting on your complete snorkel gear, it’s time to get in the water. Turtle Canyon is one of Oahu’s top-rated snorkeling sites, particularly because of its crystal clear waters, untainted underwater topography, and diverse marine life. Prepare to catch sight of precious sea creatures such as green sea turtles, tropical reef fish, and other marine organisms, many of which are endemic to Hawaii. If you are travelling during the whale season, which is from December to April, there is a big chance that you will get a glimpse of majestic humpback whales, too! Without a doubt, an ocean adventure and marine life encounter cannot get any better than this!

    Another great thing about booking the Port Waikiki Cruises’ Hilton Turtle Snorkel Sail is that you will be treated to scrumptious food, too. That’s right, not only will your eyes be feasting on spectacular above and below water sights, but you will also literally be feasting on some delicious grub! For the Lunch Sail Tour, guests will get to have deliciously prepared Hawaiian sandwiches with sides, while the Afternoon Sail Tour participants will have delectable bar snacks of chips, mixed nuts, and other light refreshments. For both tour options, refreshing drinks are inclusive, too!

    Now, that’s the spirit of aloha! Come and make the most out of your Oahu vacation by booking Port Waikiki Cruises’ Hilton Turtle Snorkel Sail!
