Snorkel with Turtles
Overview
At Snorkel with Turtles Hawaii, we are one of the ONLY tour operators that gets you away from the crowded Waikiki snorkelers and in the water with NO MORE THAN 1 OTHER SNORKEL BOAT any given day for miles. Our shop is a quick 15-minute ride out to Hawaii Kai Marina, on the South East Corner of Oahu, and operates in the scenic Muanalua Bay.
As nearly every other snorkel charter brings you to the same location outside of Waikiki, we go to sites where only another 1 or two operators frequent. The majority (95% of Oahu’s snorkel charters) go to the same place with 10-20 other boats and as many as 100 or more other snorkelers surrounding you, boats and snorkelers are the only thing you are guaranteed to see. We want you to experience the wildlife and natural beauty of our oceans, so we stay away from the crowds!

Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All City Boat Tours snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on City Boat Tours tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
