Diamond Head Cruises is a family-run, Hmong-owned boat tour business in Honolulu. Since 2019, the crew has offered private and semi-private trips along the Waikiki coast. Every tour stays small, with room for only six guests, so it never feels like a crowded cruise. Guests can choose from three main trips. The Turtle Canyon Snorkel Tour includes a guaranteed swim with turtles and a chance to watch dolphins. The Private Waikiki Boat Tour lets you build your own trip: snorkeling, dolphin watching, or a relaxed coastal cruise. In winter, the Whale Watching Tour follows migrating humpback whales along the coast. All trips run about an hour and forty-five minutes, with morning departures at 7:30, 9:30, and 11:30. Early tours often mean calmer water and better visibility. The boat itself, a 28-foot Zodiac named Kona Gold, is built for both comfort and rough water. It can reach spots that bigger tour boats simply can't. Certified captains and guides lead every trip, and snorkel gear, snacks, and drinks are included. This is a recreation and travel business built around safety, small groups, and real local knowledge. Diamond Head Cruises is proud to support marine conservation and share the beauty of Hawaii's coastline, one small group at a time. Book early, since morning tours fill up fast.

Kevin RehbeinCaptain Peter and Garrett were amazing. They embody the Aloha spirit. I would highly recommend using this company. They only take out 6 people on the boat for snorkeling. We absolutely loved the fact that is was going to be a small group. The coolest thing about smaller groups you get to make a connection with them. I would definitely be booking with them again don’t forget ask for Captain Peter and Garrett.
Jessica NelsonI highly recommend this snorkeling cruise!! Alex and Joe were awesome!! They explained safety and instructions thoroughly. Joe was very knowledgeable about the fish we were seeing. We were able to see 4-5 turtles! They even provided snacks and drinks! Having the semi-private option was awesome!! We had a blast!
VictoriaIf you’re thinking about booking this experience, do it—you won’t regret it. Captain Peter and Caleb were absolutely fantastic. From the moment we stepped on the boat, they were so kind, welcoming, and reassuring, making us feel comfortable the entire time. They were personable, easy to talk to, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had an incredible experience. They went above and beyond in every way, taking care of every detail and making sure we had the best possible time snorkeling with the turtles. You can tell they truly love what they do, and that passion made the experience even more special. I have absolutely no regrets about booking this. I left with memories that I’ll never forget, and it was worth every single penny. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, this is it. Thank you, Captain Peter and Caleb, for making our day so incredible!
Anika CharronWhat an unforgettable experience! Snorkeling with the turtles was one of the absolute highlights of our trip, and Emily and Adriana made it even more special.

They are incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the turtles and marine life, making the experience so much more meaningful. You can tell they truly love what they do and care deeply about both their guests and the wildlife. Thanks to them, we created memories that our family will treasure forever.

Ashley MacNairI thoroughly researched multiple companies and decided to book this turtle canyon tour with Diamond Head Cruise, and I’m so glad I did! It was incredible to have the boat all to ourselves, and it was even cheaper than the larger boats. They were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to customize our experience to our preferences, providing suggestions if we needed them. Peter, the captain, was fantastic, and Maddie, our guide, was amazing. She shared valuable tips and taught my kids how to dive while snorkeling, which they used throughout the rest of our trip. We couldn’t stop counting the turtles we saw and swam alongside (safe distance of course), along with all the colorful fish. Maddie would point out various things in the water and help us spot them. Peter also provided fascinating insights into the area’s history. We will definitely book with Diamond Cruise again. If you over-research like I did, don’t hesitate to book today! You won’t regret it!
