What To Expect
Your adventure begins with a short cruise from Kewalo Basin to the snorkeling site just off Waikiki. Once anchored, jump into the clear blue Pacific and explore coral reefs filled with tropical marine life. All snorkeling gear and safety equipment are included, and our crew is there to help whether you’re a beginner or an experienced swimmer. Beyond snorkeling, the floating platform becomes your playground—zoom down the 20-foot waterslide, bounce on the water trampoline, or relax on a lily pad in the warm Hawaiian sun. After enjoying the water activities, hop back aboard for snacks, soft drinks, and a scenic cruise along the Waikiki coast toward Diamond Head. You might even spot sea turtles, spinner dolphins, or humpback whales during the winter months.

5.00Safety Education and all gear is provided. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. We felt safe. The slide and the lily pad was fire! The trampoline would’ve been too if I had enough upper body strength to get on it..lol! Only 2 kids from my group were able to get on it only bc the parents pushed them over. This was my 2nd tour. Next time we go to Hawaii, count us in..

5.00I took my 84 year old mom with me. She Learned swimming after 75. This was her first time swimming in the sea. She really enjoyed it even though she felt a little freaked after. This was a real snorkeling tour for people from age 3 to 90.

Turtles, Whales & Sun-Soaked Smiles: The Ultimate Snorkel Day
Kayla O,Mar 28, 2026

5.00Our snorkel day was honestly one of the highlights of the trip! It was so much fun from the second we headed out. On the way there, we were already blown away because we got to see turtles and three whales before we even made it to the snorkeling spot. It felt so special right from the start. Once we got in the water, it was incredible. There were so many fish everywhere you looked, and the coolest part was seeing a turtle swimming through the sand tunnel — such a surreal moment and something I’ll never forget!! We also had the best time just relaxing on the boat. Sunbathing on the trampoline and of course we fully took advantage of the slide (way too fun not to). The whole atmosphere was just happy, relaxed, and exciting all at once. And the crew made it even better. They were amazingly kind, super helpful, and really made sure everyone was having a great time the entire trip. If you’re thinking about booking this snorkel trip, do it. It was unforgettable!
Good activity

5.00Nice crew - they had challenges securing a snorkeling spot, but we went just a few days after major flooding so not great visibility and not much to see. Saw a whale and dolphins enroute to snorkel spot. Very safety conscious and did a good job helping everyone who needed assistance. The slide a trampoline were great. Next time would go on a turtle trip.
This company is awesome...
