5.00The catamaran was new and beautiful. Had 2 washrooms on board. The snorkeling equipment was great and the staff explained everything beforehand. Super fun and friendly!! I really appreciated the 2 lifeguards in the water pointing things out - we saw 9 turtles!! Great vibe and great energy from staff.

5.00My daughter and I sailed with Dez, Claire, Phoenix and Captain Kapono, they were a fantastic crew! We saw so many turtles and schools of fish at Turtle Canyon. The crew even put down the sails and we sailed over to Diamond Head. Great day!
Best snorkel tour!

5.00Best snorkel tour! For someone who hasn’t done a snorkel tour in awhile this was perfect. The staff was excellent fun and so helpful. They all made the experience amazing. We saw 3 turtles and some fish. On the return ride tried to see whales but none some saw flying fish! Next time I come with fam I will book this tour. Smooth and way from booking to end of tour. Def worth it!

5.00Highly recommend doing the snorkeling at Turtle Canyon with Waikiki Sailing Company. Every crew member on board made us feel welcome, relaxed, safe and made the experience loads of fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling and on top of seeing lots of beautiful amazing fish, we also saw 2 turtles. My younger daughter got a bit overwhelmed and the crew encouraged her quietly and she managed to get back in the water and push herself, plus see a turtle for herself. Once back on board the catamaran, we thought it was all over and we were headed back to shore but we were surprised with a sail to a different spot to see if we could spot dolphins or whales. We were lucky enough to find a pod of dolphins which was a great way to end an already amazing experience. Loved the free drinks on board and that we could bring our own snacks. Cannot rate this whole experience highly enough, 100% recommend!
Fun few hours on the Hawea catamaran :)
