Snorkel with an in-water guide at a local reef system or marine preserve where you can swim with abundant marine life such as the Hawaii state fish, the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, and the Hawaii Green Sea Turtle, the Honu. After exploring, relax on deck and soak in the sunshine. Lunch onboard is included if you wish, please see options catered by Pizza Paradiso when booking your tour. Additional catering options provided upon request and at cost. You are welcome to bring any additional snacks, food, or beverages with you. BYOB ok!
