Snorkel Tours

Prepare for Splashdown!

A minibus picks you up at your hotel to take you to Koko Marina, where you’ll be given snorkel equipment and then driven to Hanauma Bay for your activity.  Once you’ve arrived you will spend a few hours at the beautiful marine sanctuary snorkeling with thousands of tropical fish and gorgeous coral formations. When you’ve finished snorkeling, a van service is provided to take you back to Koko Marina at 1:30pm – just in time to hop on the “DUCK” for a return scenic trip back to Waikiki. This is a 30 minute plus amphibious cruise in the ocean followed with a fully-narrated drive along the Oahu shoreline on Diamond Head Road through the prestigious Kahala area with plenty of stories, local facts and fun history. It is an open-air vehicle that lets the tradewinds in – and you’ll have plenty to talk about later with friends!

Waikiki pickup times: 7:00am-8:00am, return 3:00pm-5:00pm

Waikiki Dive Extraordinaire!

On this fun Hawaii activity you’ll go overboard when you sail out to Waikiki’s best diving spots to jump in and explore the reef. You’ll see parrot fish, butterfly fish, damselfish (and the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a – Hawaii’s state fish!). The amazing Maita’i Catamaran is a state of the art twin hulled 44 foot catamaran that seats 47 passengers comfortably. United States Coast Guard inspected and certified, Maita’i is ultra-safe and will provide a great time aboard for the entire family. After snorkeling, you’ll have lunch aboard the boat – then kick back, listen to music, soak up sun, and enjoy the cruise back to shore.

• Safe, quiet, environmentally clean propulsion system.
• Two large safety nets located on the bow with ample room for sunbathing.
• Convenient barefoot boarding.

Swim with Dolphins and Turtles!

Your tour begins from Waianae Boat Harbor along the scenic west shore of Oahu in search of pods of wild spinner dolphins.  Enjoy observing the dolphins as they nurse their young and play with each other. Take some of the most incredible photographs of your vacation as the spinners come to visit you and perform their superb aerial spins. Few people have the opportunity to see these spectacular displays! Occasionally, you’ll encounter bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins and pilot whales.  During an in-water activity known as “The Drop” (if the dolphins are awake and playful) you will be allowed to get wet with the dolphins and experience the sights and sounds of dolphin play from an underwater perspective. You’ll be in the water surrounded by Spinner Dolphins as they go about their everyday activities. Watch them swimming or playing and maybe even doing a spin for you! A professional guide instructs even novice snorkelers, giving advice and pointing out dolphin behavior.
