Two hours, just your group, straight to a turtle cleaning station where the honu float calm and close. Then we kill the engine and sail you home.
$1,000 for the private charter, up to 6 guests
We take you straight to a turtle sanctuary on the reef off Waikiki. Here, reef fish pick algae off the turtles' shells. The turtles come in to get cleaned, so they hover slow and mellow and don't mind snorkelers nearby.
That makes for some of the best up-close turtle viewing on Oahu. Your snorkel guide gets in the water with you and shows you where to look.
Hawaii asks everyone to give sea turtles about 10 feet of space and never touch them. Your guide will keep you in the right spot.
The whole boat is yours. No strangers, no crowded rail.
One drives the boat, one swims with you to the turtles.
Mask, snorkel and fins included for every guest.
Cold drinks on board while you dry off.
Pack snacks or lunch and enjoy them on deck.
Choose to sail back to the harbor on wind alone.
Meet your captain and snorkel guide, get fitted for gear, and head out.
Slip in with your guide and watch turtles get cleaned by reef fish, up close and unhurried.
Raise the sails, cut the engine, and glide back to the harbor with a drink in hand.
Long enough to see turtles and sail. Short enough that nobody gets seasick or bored, and you still have the rest of your Hawaii day.
The tour our repeat guests ask for when they come back to Oahu.
