Admire the Honu From Afar
Marvel at the awe-inspiring beauty of Hawaiian sea turtles (Honu), protected by the Act of Endangered Species and numerous federal and state regulations. If you're lucky enough to encounter one of these gentle giants, it's crucial to prioritize their safety and well-being.
Keep a safe distance of at least 10 feet, allowing these magnificent creatures to go about their business undisturbed. Resist the temptation to feed them, ride them, or cause them any form of distress. Appreciate their splendor from afar and remember, while you can admire, touching is strictly off-limits. Let's safeguard these incredible creatures and ensure their continued existence for generations to come.
Learn About Turtle Canyon
This is an enchanting spot where majestic sea turtles gracefully glide above the vibrant reef, accompanied by a colorful ensemble of reef fish eagerly tending to their shells. As you snorkel, watch these mesmerizing creatures rise to the surface for a breath of fresh air, delighting spectators aboard the boat. After a fulfilling adventure underwater, indulge in a rejuvenating sun-soaked experience on deck with complimentary snacks and beverages. Keep your eyes peeled for spinner dolphins and magnificent humpback whales, gracing us with their presence during the winter months from December to April, as we cruise back to the harbor.
