Waikiki : Turtle Canyon Morning Snorkel & Sail from Beach | Oahu

We had so much fun on our turtle tour in early August 2026. We took the 8am tour. The meeting spot is in the parking lot next to the boat slip. There are no signs or a storefront so just go where Google Maps takes you. It’s the right spot! It’s a short 15 minute sail to the snorkel spot. The water was calm so there weren’t any seasickness issues, thankfully. The crew provides a flotation belt (or life vest if you prefer, a snorkel, and fins). We sailed with Captain Jamie, Xavier, and Jalen. They were great! We saw so many turtles! Probably at least 15 or 20. Being that I had only ever seen one turtle in the water in my life, this was a huge improvement! Everyone in my family had a great time and we were so happy to see so many turtles. We highly recommend the Pink Sails crew.

Awesome trip! The guides were super friendly and had all the gear for the snorkel. We saw amazing fish and several turtles. Had about an hour to snorkel then Enjoyed a beautiful sail with complimentary snacks, drinks, and $5 cocktails. Highly recommend!

The overall experience was great. All of the staff and crew were so nice and knowledgable and it was such a great time had by myself and my family. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.

We were on a large family trip with 17 people, and they easily accommodated all of us. Extremely friendly, and provided a really fun adventure for all of us. We saw over a dozen turtles which was awesome! Would book again for sure!

The crew was fabulous from start to finish. They educated us, attended to the needs of everyone on the boat, and also all made sure we had a fun and exciting experience. We so many sea turtles! At one point, we could see eight at the same time. I highly recommend this. We ended up booking with Holokai after a previous tour company canceled on us at 9:30 PM for a 7:00am tour the next morning! It ended up being a blessing.

Our journey was absolutely perfect! We took the short walk to the catamaran, climbed aboard and made a short trek to the Turtle site. Once everyone was in the water, we swam a very short distance to discover one very large sea turtle popped up to the surface. One in our party unfortunately got a little seasick and returned to the catamaran where she was well accommodated. Our sea buddies aka “life guards” were knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to also swim with the fishes but not in ominous way….just a large variety of fishies that came to hang out and see who was in their home. Once we all returned, the sails came out and we just did some chill sailing past Diamond Head before setting sail back to shore. The crew was outstanding. If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would. There were little ones out there out swimming some of the adults so it’s absolutely a family friendly adventure for all ages.

My Niece and I had a wonderful time! The crew was awesome and made us feel safe and comfortable. We first went out and swam at turtle canyon which had turtles (of course) and a thousand fish swimming around! We got some really cool videos of this! After, we relaxed and sailed for a while enjoying the cool breeze of the oceans and the sights of Waikiki coastline. I highly recommend!

Nice boat, good staff, good collection point, decent snorkeling kit,

Beautiful day on the water. Friendly, fun and safe crew! Great mix of snorkeling with turtles and relaxing on the boat. Highly recommend

The guys were great and friendly ! The snorkel spot was crowded on the 9am with others there that shouldn’t have been. They made the call to take a little ride and wait, which I appreciated. Once we did get in they were helpful to locate some turtles. There were only 2 when we went, but happy we were able to see some. Plenty of fish though. Would recommend them to others though!
