Amazing time snorkeling with Turtles!
2 Hr – Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour on December 21, 20254 adults

We had such a great time with Hawaii Apex Charters. Captain Phillip and Holly were wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable with the area and underwater life. If you are looking for a more intimate, private experience I highly recommend making a reservation with them, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back again, Mahalo!
