Catamaran tours in Honolulu: how to choose

Catamaran tours in Honolulu: how to choose

What should you know before you book catamaran tours in Honolulu?

The Kepoikai Day Sail is from $40 per person. Group size, whether you want to snorkel and what time of day you sail usually decide which of the catamaran tours we list fits you.

How do you choose between catamaran tours?

If cost matters most, look at the per-person tours first, since private charters are priced for the whole group. Once the price fits, your group size and the activity you want on the water narrow the list. For a snorkel stop, Snorkel With Turtles! See Turtles GUARANTEED! is one option to compare on the tour page before you book.

Day Sail Catamaran Kepoikai II $40 per person

How much does a catamaran tour cost, and what is included?

A private charter pays off only when the group total splits into a fair share per person for your party.

What should you expect on a catamaran tour?

The Oahu Catamaran Snorkel With Turtles tour is based in Waikiki, and Hawaii Ocean Charters is based in Honolulu. Pick the departure that fits your day, and leave time to reach check-in before you board. A snorkel trip calls for a swimsuit and reef-safe sunscreen, so pack both.

Who does a catamaran tour suit, and who should skip it?

If you would rather stay dry, skip the snorkel cruises.

What are the catamaran tours to book?

The Hawaii Ocean Charters Private Catamaran Cruise and Snorkeling "Keanuenue" is a 3-hour private option from $649 for the group.

How do booking and weather work?

Each tour above links to its tour page, where you can book it directly. The National Weather Service marine forecast is the place to check those conditions before you go.
