Oahu Catamaran is a Honolulu-based operator offering small-group catamaran experiences along Waikiki and the Kahala coast. The operator runs intimate Sunset Cruise BYOB trips that showcase Hawaiian sunsets and Waikiki city lights from the ocean, with an appetizer buffet featuring a charcuterie board, fresh fruit, and other light bites. Limited capacity and family-friendly service create a relaxed, personal atmosphere for couples, families, and small groups.
Oahu Catamaran also operates snorkel excursions aboard the Kahala Kai, a locally owned vessel with a documented safety record dating to 1985. Snorkel trips focus on encounters with Hawaiian sea turtles and include premium snorkel equipment, instruction for varying skill levels, and attentive crew support. On select departures guests may also see dolphins and seasonal humpback whales.
The business emphasizes safety, guest satisfaction, and clear guarantees: snorkel cruises offer a turtle-spotting promise with a full refund if turtles are not sighted. Amenities and procedures are arranged for comfort and accessibility, and the small-group model prioritizes space and personalized service. Crews maintain modern safety gear and follow marine safety practices, supporting the operator’s long record. Small-group departures reduce crowds, and the vessel’s layout supports easy boarding and clear viewing for photography and wildlife observation and guest comfort ensured.
