15 Turtle Snorkeling Tours in the USA Worth Booking

Oahu's Ultimate Tour: Dole, Turtle Snorkel, Pali Lookout & More - Eternity Beach, Halona Blowhole, and Sandy Beach

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,461 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $108Our pick

Review of Oahu’s full-day circle island tour with Dole Plantation, turtle snorkeling, Pali Lookout, beaches, farms, and Waikiki pickup.

“We were able to see a little bit of everything and enjoyed our tour guide, but unfortunately had a terrible experience snorkeling. The beach that was selected was incredibly rocky and littered with urchins that made it incredibly difficult to access the snorkeling point. The water was murky and difficult to see through, so we were not able to see much sea life and we left the experience cut up/ bleeding from the rocks, frustrated and disappointed. None of this was the fault of our guide, but if you are selecting this tour with the hope that the snorkeling will be the highlight of the trip, you may be best…”

“Amazing adventure! Highly recommend this one and will definitely be returning on my next trip to Hawaii!! My fiancé and I have never been snorkeling before so we didn’t know what to expect logistically. This team took care of us and connected with every person on board. They are naturals at what they do and they make the most nervous people feel in control and comfortable. This is the team that you need to book with to have great fun and see the best part of our amazing ocean! They are punctual and knowledgeable about their environment!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 838 reviews · 5h 30m · from $159

Spend 5.5 hours snorkeling Molokini and Turtle Town from Maui, with breakfast, lunch, gear, lifeguards, and scenic catamaran cruising.

“I thought this tour was an awesome experience overall. The water at Molokini Crater was incredibly clear and vibrant — perfect for snorkeling. Turtle Town was a highlight too, and our guide did a great job pointing out where the sea turtles were so we wouldn’t miss them. The food on board was just okay — nothing particularly memorable — but given the limitations of catering on a boat, it was totally understandable. It’s a little pricey, but overall I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and scenic snorkeling adventure in Maui.”
