Your adventure commences at Kewalo Basin with a scenic voyage along the Waikiki coastline, heading towards Diamond Head. Relax onboard, admire the views of Waikiki from the water, and keep an eye out for sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and humpback whales during the whale season.
Following the cruise, your captain will navigate you to a coral reef snorkeling location, distinct from the bustling Turtle Canyon area. After a safety briefing, collect your provided snorkel gear and immerse yourself in the clear Hawaiian waters to explore the reef and search for colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, and other marine creatures. While sea turtles are frequently sighted, wildlife encounters cannot be guaranteed.
Beyond snorkeling, there are numerous activities to enjoy. Experience the thrill of the 20-foot waterslide, bounce on the water trampoline, or simply relax on the floating lily pad. Guests are welcome to engage in these various water activities throughout the duration of your stay at the reef.
Snacks and unlimited soft drinks are available onboard before we return to Kewalo Basin.

Super fun experience

We had a ton of fun. The crew was great. Definitely worth the money.

Totally underwhelmed
hazelgV9191XA, October 2026
Scam. They take you to snorkel right off Waikīkī beach past the wave break. Not a secret spot. And you’re 30 ft above the reef so you can’t see anything at all. Buy this if you are doing it for the waterside and kids floating trampoline only. I cannot imagine a worse snorkel. Save your money.
