Turtle Canyon
About Turtle Canyon
Turtle Canyon is a shallow reef on Oahu known for consistently high sea turtle activity. The site functions as a turtle cleaning station, where turtles gather at specific areas on the reef. Green and hawksbill sea turtles are the main draw, with small wrasses cleaning them at the cleaning stations. Its shallow profile also makes it suitable for snorkeling.
