About
Join us on a semi-private cruise you won’t soon forget. Based on Oahu’s south shore, we go faster and farther than anyone else in town, offering spectacular coastal sightseeing, incredible sea life (turtles, fish, dolphins, and whales—in season), and snorkeling. Unlike crowded tour boats, this tour will have a maximum of twelve passengers aboard and will actively avoid crowded locations where every other tour goes.
The adventure will take you out from Waikiki for a high-speed coastal tour, looking for wildlife and taking in the island views along the way to one of our favorite snorkeling spots. Enjoy a guided snorkel with one of expert crew members and make some new underwater friends before we cruise back into Waikiki.
This tour is 1.5 hours. Snorkeling gear is provided onboard. We have coolers onboard, so feel free to bring a beverage or light snack.
