Catamaran Snorkeling Oahu
Crystal-clear waters near Waimea Bay with sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and spinner dolphins.
The experience
Overview
Sail away on a laid-back North Shore adventure aboard the Ho'o Nanea, the only commercial sailing catamaran cruising this legendary stretch of Oahu. Our snorkeling tours take you along the calm, scenic coastline to the island's best underwater playgrounds — crystal-clear tropical waters near famous Waimea Bay. With small groups of up to 19 guests, you'll enjoy an uncrowded, personal experience far from the bustle of the big tour boats.
Slip into the turquoise water and explore Hawaii's living reefs, home to hundreds of colorful fish and curious sea creatures. Sea turtles glide by like gentle giants, and it's not unusual to spot spinner dolphins cruising alongside our bow, leaping and twirling in the surf as if to say aloha. Your crew will be in the water with you, pointing out marine life and helping you make the most of your underwater adventure.
After your snorkel, climb back aboard for a fresh deli lunch and an ice-cold drink as we sail back down the coast. All snorkel gear is provided. Don't forget your towel and your sense of adventure — paradise awaits!
