About This Experience
Skip the crowded tour boats and experience Oahu's underwater paradise on this semi-private snorkeling adventure from Honolulu. The Adventure Boat limits groups to just 12 passengers, creating an intimate experience that gets you to pristine reefs faster while avoiding the tourist masses.
Starting from Ala Wai Harbor in Waikiki, you'll cruise at high speed along Oahu's stunning south shore. Your captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, pointing out spectacular views of Waikiki Beach and Lēʻahi (Diamond Head) while scanning for marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for Hawaiian green sea turtles, dolphins, and during winter months, majestic humpback whales.
The real magic happens underwater at the crew's hand-picked reef locations. Crystal-clear waters teem with tropical fish and curious sea turtles going about their daily routines. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned snorkeler, the provided high-quality gear and safety equipment ensure you'll feel confident exploring these vibrant reefs.
Between snorkeling sessions, crank up your favorite tunes on the onboard sound system while sipping complimentary sparkling water. A large cooler with ice keeps your own beverages and snacks chilled – just bring whatever you'd like since food and alcohol aren't provided but are definitely welcome.
This semi-private snorkeling adventure Honolulu experience starts from $99 per person, including all snorkeling equipment, safety gear, and expert guide services. The tour isn't suitable for pregnant women or those with mobility limitations. Meet directly at The Adventure Boat wearing your swimsuit, and don't forget sunscreen and polarized sunglasses.
Free cancellation is available with 48 hours notice, though tours need minimum guest numbers and may be consolidated or rescheduled. Optional GoPro rentals and video packages let you capture every underwater moment.
