Turtle Canyon Tour Prices
Turtle Canyon tour prices by operator: every boat from Waikiki, cheapest to the lunch sail, the same trip on GetYourGuide and Viator, and what is extra.
A Turtle Canyon tour costs from $60 a person on the cheapest boat to $170 on the catamaran with lunch. Most two-hour snorkel boats sit between $60 and $85, and a trip with pickup from your hotel costs a little more. Several operators sell the same trip on both GetYourGuide and Viator at different prices, so it pays to check both. On top of the fare, plan for harbor parking of $1 to $2 an hour if you drive, tips, and any camera or photo package. Island Splash Tours, which you can walk to from the Hilton Lagoon, is from $73 in current promotion (usually $81) for 90 minutes (GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026).

Three Tiki Sailing’s two-hour sail and snorkel from the Ala Wai harbor sits in the middle of the range, from $84 in current promotion (usually $99) a person, with a cooler on board for the drinks you bring (checked November 2026).
The same trip on two platforms
Six operators sell their Turtle Canyon trip on both GetYourGuide and Viator, and the two prices are not always the same, usually because one platform is running a promotion. The boat and crew are the same; the small print (duration, snacks, child fares) can differ by platform:
| Operator | On GetYourGuide | On Viator |
|---|---|---|
| Living Ocean Tours | $89 (book) | $62 in current promotion (usually $89) (book) |
| Charter Oahu | $85 (book) | $61 in current promotion (usually $89) (book) |
| Island Splash Tours | $73 in current promotion (usually $81), 90 minutes (book) | $65 in current promotion (usually $79), 2 hours (book) |
| Pink Sails Waikiki | $85 (book) | $81 (book) |
| Waikiki Sailing Company | $85 (book) | $90 (book) |
| Oceanstar | $107 in current promotion (usually $120) (book) | $100 (book) |
GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026. Adult fares per person.
Children, holidays and the small print
- Children. On Viator, Living Ocean Tours and Charter Oahu charge children the adult fare. Oceanstar has a lower fare for ages 3 to 7 and Hawaii Nautical for ages 4 to 12. Pink Sails Waikiki and Hawaii Ocean Charters take no one under 7.
- The holidays. Living Ocean Tours’ Viator schedule lists $99 a person from 19 December to 10 January.
- Parking. Oahu Catamarans and Hawaii Ocean Charters quote $2 an hour at Kewalo Basin, Captain Max $2 an hour at its harbor, and Holokai validates $15 for four hours at the Embassy Suites.
- Photos. Island Splash Tours and Charter Oahu sell photo packages; Oceanstar and Blue Ocean Snorkeling rent GoPros for about $40.
What you get for more money
Paying more buys you one of three things: a ride from your hotel (Oceanstar, Blue Ocean Snorkeling), a smaller group (Captain Max’s six seats, Hawaii Ocean Charters’ boat of six), or food and drink (Hawaii Nautical’s lunch). It does not buy more turtles: every boat goes to the same reef. The boat tour or snorkel tour guide sorts the trips by what they spend the time on, and is it worth it weighs the money against the morning.
