Go beyond the typical Turtle Canyon snorkel tour on this 2.5-hour Waikiki coral reef and waterslide adventure. Begin with a scenic cruise along the Waikiki coastline toward Diamond Head, taking in sweeping ocean views while watching for sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and seasonal humpback whales. Then head to a coral reef snorkeling site away from the crowded Turtle Canyon area. Snorkel among tropical fish, coral reef habitat, and Hawaiian marine life—including sea turtles, which are seen on most trips. When you’re ready for more fun, take a ride down our 20-foot waterslide, bounce on the water trampoline, or relax on the floating lily pad. With a maximum of 40 guests, you’ll have more room to enjoy the boat and the water. Snorkel gear, flotation equipment, snacks, and unlimited soft drinks are included. It’s a great choice for families, couples, and groups looking for a Waikiki ocean experience that combines scenic cruising, snorkeling, sea turtles, and plenty of fun on the water.

Magical!!!
This was by far one of my favorite experiences that I had in Hawaii. The crew was SO incredibly sweet and helpful. I felt safe the entire time and the crew taught us so much about marine life! I saw tons of fish and even got to see 2 sea turtles!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely book with this company again when I return to Hawaii! Thanks for making my snorkeling experience so magical!!!

funnest thing we did during our stay!
Was the funnest thing we did during our stay in Honolulu! The snorkeling was awesome, the kids were able to join us as well, everyone was safe with lightweight/slim non-cumbersome life jackets, the slide was a rocketship lol. saw lots of sealife and had an awesome cruise to the snorkeling area and back to the pier. we also got professional photos under and out of the water
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that this was the highlight of your stay in Honolulu and that both adults and kids had such a safe and fun time on board. It is great to know you enjoyed the waterslide and got some fantastic professional photos of your underwater adventure. We would love to welcome you and your family back for another cruise whenever you are back in Waikiki!

Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $67 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 Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 495 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide 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 Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure?
+
Around 173 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide 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, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. 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.
What is included in Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure?
+
Included: Water Slide; Use of Snorkeling equipment; Carbonated beverages; Snorkel Cruise; and Life Jackets. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop off; Towels; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure?
+
Please meet us at our boat "Lokahi" located in Kewalo Basin Boat Harbor, Slip B-1. Complete your online waiver prior to arrival and arrive at the boat 15 minutes early as the boat departs at your scheduled time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Waikiki Coral Reef Snorkel & Waterslide Adventure?
+
Across 495 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include good for families. Reviewers traveling with kids report it landed well with their group.
