Description: Come join us on our 30' catamaran for an unforgettable sightseeing and snorkeling experience! We’ll take you on a leisurely cruise along the stunning Waikiki coastline, where you’ll get to take in breathtaking views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the iconic Honolulu skyline.

As we make our way out to the offshore reef, keep an eye out for playful dolphins and majestic humpback whales (in season). Once we reach the reef, we’ll anchor in a prime spot for snorkeling, where you’ll get to swim alongside Hawaii’s beloved green sea turtles in their natural habitat. Don’t worry if you’re new to snorkeling – our experienced crew will be on hand to provide guidance and ensure your safety throughout the excursion.

While you’re snorkeling, admire the coral reef structures and a variety of colorful tropical fish. After your snorkeling adventure, climb back on board and enjoy a refreshing drink as we make our way back.

The vessel is exclusively reserved for your party so you are welcome to play your music and bring any refreshments you would like to enjoy during our time together. Our crew will happily be sharing their local knowledge and the cultural history of the area we are traveling in throughout the cruise.
