Our trips
Live availability & pricing below
Turtle Canyon Snorkel Trip
Swim Waikiki's most pristine reef with green sea turtles, tropical fish, tako and vana. PADI-certified guides, all gear provided, then sails up around Diamond Head.
Afternoon Sail
Trade wind sailing toward Diamond Head, past the Natatorium, the lighthouse and the Black Point coastline — with a full open bar included. April 1 to November 30.
Sunset Cruise
Ninety minutes on the water as the sky turns over the Pacific, open bar in hand and the Honolulu skyline glowing behind you. Fridays are 21 and over.
The open bar
is in the ticket
Every seat on the Afternoon Sail and the Sunset Cruise comes with a full open bar — beer, wine, champagne, hard seltzers, non-alcoholic options, and the Holokai Hooch, our own rum and pineapple punch. No drink tickets, no cash bar, no tab at the end. On the Turtle Canyon snorkel, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are complimentary and alcohol is available for cash purchase.
Guests must be 21 or over to drink and present valid photo ID.
Turtle Canyon
Snorkel Trip
A morning sail to Turtle Canyon, Waikiki's most pristine coral reef. Our PADI-certified snorkel guides get you comfortable in the water and point out what you'd otherwise swim past — honu, tako (octopus), vana (sea urchin), and the reef fish in between. Afterwards we hoist the sails around Diamond Head, looking for spinner dolphins and, in winter, humpback whales.

Check in & boarding
No harbor, no shuttle
Most Oahu boat tours run out of Kewalo Basin Harbor, which means a shuttle from Waikiki and a wait on an industrial pier. We board straight off the sand, from the shoreline between Fort DeRussy and the Royal Hawaiian.
Check in at the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, 2169 Kālia Road. From there it is a 5 to 10 minute walk — 0.3 miles at most — down to the boarding point, and the crew walks you the whole way. The exact stretch of beach shifts with the tides so we can board you safely, so it will not always be directly outside the hotel. Bring footwear you can slip on and off.
Travelling with anyone who has mobility concerns or walks at a slower pace? Get in touch before or after booking and we will make arrangements. Groups of 16 or more, please contact us to book.
