Explore the reefs and all of the docile marine life that calls them home, where you will find yourself floating alongside turtles, and possibly spotting He’e (octopus), Ka Hoku Kai (starfish), and other marine life native to the Hawaiian islands. Our staff will be there every step of the way, guiding you to the best spots, offering to take photos, and most importantly, providing assistance in the water (if needed). After the snorkel, we hoist our iconic sails and sail home while you enjoy drinks from our full Bar on board!

Highlight of our trip - We enjoyed every moment of this trip. The crew was so helpful and professional. The service on board was fantastic. It was great to have a set of stairs on the catamaran that led right into the water. Captain Johnny placed a mask on each person so that it fit perfectly. No fogging, just tight enough. Some of the crew members are certified lifeguards, so they were in the water with us. I was a little concerned about my 8 year old who had never snorkeled before, but the crew was incredibly supportive. And of course we saw turtles, both before and during our snot This excursion was the highlight of our trip.

Don’t pass this one up - Every crew member on board was incredible. We had a small group of other snorkelers on board with us, the crew did great making sure everyone had a great time. The vibes on and off board were chill and relax, we saw several turtles and our guide even caught a sea urchin for us to hold. 10/10 experience. Bring cash for a tip.. I did not and I wish I would have.
