Great crew, great time
Alexio, Tyler and Kynoa were a blast! They helped us have a good time, feel safe and Kynoa pointed out all the sea life for us! Could not recommend these guys enough!
via Viator
We experienced at least a dozen sea turtles with 5-6 of them at the surface as close as we were allowed to get.
This is the one on the island with the best crew and grantees sea turtles. If there out there they find them. They know your on vacation and make it the best experience by being there when you want and giving space when you need. Other tours spend the whole trip talk about past and giving a complete school for 5 min in water. These guys do it so fast your in the water most the trip. I would highly recommend this package if you’re wanting to see the life in the ocean.

Life jackets
The crew was very nice and helpful. It was a beautiful experience and we did see turtles. My only concern was, there was a family on board with a toddler and the crew members did not make the parents put a life jacket on this child. It was very scary to watch. The parents had a life jacket that was just laying next to them on the boat. I would strongly suggest that this be a regulation, a must!

Wonderful experience
Outstanding experience! The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and helped to make the snorkeling experience and swimming with the turtles unforgettable! Little dog was a great co-captain. Thank you!

Terrific Turtle Time!!!
Captain Mo of Pink Sails and her trusted crew of turtle whisperers were absolutely incredible! We had the best 2 hours on the open ocean and encountered many majestic turtles and colorful tropical fish while snorkeling and also pods of playful dolphins during our sail back to shore. Captain Mo was so kind and thorough on rules and safety and shared a wicked sense of humor throughout. Special shout out to “Little Dog” who spent some time with us during the sail. Adorable! Helpful crew member, Sheamus, guided us from his surfboard to all the best spots on the reef to see the turtles and even spotted a baby turtle for us. Beautiful experience to explore nature and the bounty of its precious creatures. Our daughter, who now lives on the island, is taking her boyfriend on another Pink Sails tour as she wants to further share the experience with loved ones. We hope you will too…don’t miss this special island adventure while visiting Oahu. It’s priceless! Mahalo Pink Sails…you are a blessing. We hope to come back soon! Roxanne L and Ohana

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,509 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure?
+
Around 528 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Waikiki 2 hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
