Catamaran Snorkel Sail - Sunrise

There's something truly special about catching sunrise from the deck of Ko Olina Ocean Adventures' catamaran – and as the only sailing catamaran operating from Ko Olina Marina, you'll have this magical experience practically to yourself. Their luxurious 53-foot vessel takes just 35 passengers on this 3-hour morning adventure along Oahu's stunning western coastline.

Your captain and crew know these waters intimately, expertly spotting Hawaiian spinner dolphins that call this area home year-round. From December through March, you might also witness the incredible sight of Alaskan humpback whales breaching in the distance. The catamaran itself is beautifully appointed with custom boat drinks, shaded seating, plush sunbathing cushions, plus fresh water showers and restrooms.

The real highlight comes during your 45-minute snorkel stop at one of two pristine west Oahu reef sites. These spots are carefully chosen for their abundant tropical fish and fascinating marine life – you'll often see various rays gliding by, and there's always a good chance of meeting friendly green sea turtles at their natural cleaning stations, where smaller reef fish help keep their shells spotless. Don't worry if you're new to snorkeling; complete gear (mask, snorkel, fins, and life vest) is included, along with patient instruction from the crew.

After working up an appetite underwater, you'll feast on an authentic island-style lunch: grilled chicken, pulled pork, white rice, fresh green salad, and sweet pineapple, with vegetarian alternatives available. Three complimentary cocktails and unlimited soft drinks keep everyone refreshed.
