Your 3-hour adventure kicks off at 11:00 AM with scenic sailing along the legendary Waikiki coastline. Diamond Head looks absolutely stunning from the water, and the catamaran's mix of shaded and open-air areas keeps everyone comfortable as you head to prime turtle territory. The professional crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, making this perfect for everyone—from first-time snorkelers to ocean veterans, and yes, kids of all ages are welcome.
Once you reach the vibrant coral reefs, slip on your sanitized snorkel gear and dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with Hawaiian green sea turtles and colorful tropical fish. Between December and April, you might catch humpback whales as a bonus. Back on deck, you'll enjoy an individual island-inspired sandwich or wrap with chips—vegetarian and gluten-free options available with 24-hour notice.
The best part? Complimentary drinks flow throughout the entire trip. We're talking beer, wine, tropical cocktails, juice, soda, water, and light snacks. No snorkeling experience required since life jackets are provided for all guests.
