Marine Wildlife Snorkel Tour: Sea Tiger Shipwreck & Sharks

Here's something special you won't find on the typical tourist trail. This marine wildlife snorkel tour: Sea Tiger Shipwreck & sharks experience in Honolulu keeps things intimate with just 6 guests maximum—a world away from those packed cattle boats you see everywhere else.

The Sea Tiger herself is a 160-foot beauty resting at 75 feet, and she's become a magnet for the kind of marine life that makes your heart skip. We're talking sharks, pelagic fish, and the occasional surprise visitor that keeps even us locals coming back for more.

You'll meet us at 1739C Ala Moana Boulevard for the real deal—proper safety briefings covering everything from snorkeling basics to shark encounters and spearfishing techniques. As we cruise out, you'll catch those postcard views of Diamond Head Crater and Ala Moana Bowls, where the surfers put on their daily show.

Once we're tied down at the wreck site, you get about 35 minutes to explore this underwater monument. Our certified lifeguard guides don't just watch from the boat—they're in the water with you, sharing spearfishing knowledge and stories about local fishing traditions that go way back. You might spot sea turtles (remember, state law requires staying 10-15 feet back), dolphins, tuna, or the stars of the show—sharks in their element.

This isn't just about pretty fish, though. We weave in real talk about shark conservation, Duke Kahanamoku's legacy, and why respecting these waters matters. The marine wildlife snorkel tour: Sea Tiger Shipwreck & sharks experience runs from $130 per person for ages 8 and up. Kids under 8 need to bring their own life vest, but we've got all the snorkel gear covered, plus instruction for ocean snorkeling newcomers.

No bottled water or gratuity included, but trust me—the memories are worth every penny.
