What To Expect
Discover the beauty of Hawaiʻi's coastline on this guided snorkeling adventure to two unique ocean locations. Swim in Pacific waters, explore vibrant coral reefs, and encounter the incredible marine life that calls Hawaiʻi home. We'll visit two carefully selected shoreline snorkeling spots where you'll have the opportunity to swim, snorkel, float, and learn about Hawaiʻi's marine ecosystem. All snorkeling is conducted from shore, making this an immersive way to experience the island's underwater world. While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, we frequently encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu), colorful tropical fish, sea cucumbers, large sea urchins, and more! Our guides share fascinating information about the reef, marine life, Hawaiian culture, and the importance of protecting these fragile ecosystems throughout the tour. Whether or not turtles make an appearance, you'll experience thriving coral reefs and an abundance of marine life in some of Hawaiʻi's most beautiful coastal environments. This tour is best suited for confident swimmers. Ocean conditions can vary, and currents may be strong at times. Entry and exit points may involve uneven volcanic terrain.

Under the Sea!

5.00Snorkeling was AMAZING! Dawn was AMAZING! EVERYTHING was AMAZING! Dawn made sure we had a good briefing before entering the water so that everyone understood protocol, ocean currents and what wildlife to be looking for as well as how to interact with the sea creatures we saw. It was a bit cloudy that day but this tour still did not disappoint! We saw several turtles, a plethora of fish and even some eel. We snorkeled at two locations. There was no hike as the previous review mentions a morning hike so if you see that you should know that was for another tour she does to a beach. This tour is just for snorkeling at two different spots. The second location she let us pick if we wanted a harder, more adventurous swim with bigger fish and coral or an easier, shallow swim where we could hold starfish and see smaller fish. We chose holding starfish! We wouldn't have known which areas to snorkel at nor would we have noticed all the little creatures she showed us had we tried to do this on our own. So much in the ocean just camouflages with its surroundings! Dawn certainly has the eye to find everything that's around you. At one point a turtle would have swam right passed me and I never would have even known because I was looking the other direction at a school of colorful fish! She offers a video as well, which we got as a memory for our trip and I absolutely love it and have shared it with all my friends and family! Highly recommend this experience to enjoy and fall in love with the ocean even more!
I love it

5.00The beach accessible is great, the water was clear, we saw 3 turtles and the fish were everywhere. I felt safe with Dawn as our guide. She is knowledgeable about the the sea life and the surrounding area.

5.00Dawn is such a great host and tour guide! It was very easy to speak with her; she’s kind, funny, and thoughtful. We walked through the jungle for about an hour and made our way to a beautiful sand beach! There are not many sandy beaches here on this island, so this spot was such a gem!! We went during high tide and it was absolutely beautiful. We were able to see some sea turtles swimming in the water, it was an incredible experience to enjoy the ocean waves with these creatures
