What To Expect

Meet your captain as you step aboard the 53-foot (16-meter) catamaran and set out for your day's first stop. As you cruise, you can relax on deck and watch the Hawaiian scenery pass by or explore the boat. The catamaran is fully equipped with a fully stocked bar, a teak interior, and freshwater showers. There is plenty of room for 40 passengers to spread out and get comfortable.

Once you reach the snorkeling destination, get fitted for a mask and snorkel and jump into the water, a known habitat for the local spinner dolphins. Float around the coral reef in search of native marine life.

After snorkeling dig into a Hawaiian-style lunch of soy-veggie burgers, chicken teriyaki, and pulled pork sandwiches. Guests over age 21 can sip a cocktail or two along with lunch.

As the boat heads back to shore, enjoy the scenery, soak up some sun, or head below deck for a freshwater shower.

Traveller Tips

Not crazy about location as it’s in front of the Diesel plant and you can hear the traffic going by.

I wanted to love this but with 90 minutes spent getting from my hotel and the same getting back to my hotel - two ~ 30 minute snorkeling sessions required a 10:30 am - 5:30 pm day.

There are plenty of options for snorkeling cruises, but the staff, from the storytelling bus driver Henry, to the Captain and his three lovely, gracious, and hard-working crew women made this one a fantastic evening.

Great snorkel/sailing excursion convenient to our resort at Ko Olina. The experience was enhanced by the beautiful catamaran and it’s attentive, insightful and entertaining crew. Lunch and drinks provided on the trip were an added bonus. On our trip we saw, tons of fish, dolphins and a sea turtle. Would definitely recommend to friends and families staying in the Ko Olina area.

Super experience

Great crew and vessel. Awesome day, highly recommended. We saw turtles and feed the fish. The crew were very welcoming and helpful with gear and offering instructions and advice. Love it.

Absolutely Amazing

Rebecca_V, Aug 2022

What an amazing experience!! The captain and crew were friendly and accommodating. We saw turtles, fish and dolphins. The Dirty Pirate drink was very good! Lunch was filling.

Nice trip - been on better

Paul_D, Aug 2022

This trip is rather short and takes you directly across from a power plant. Apparently, the warm water discharge attracts fish. So, really did not stop over a proper portion of the reef. Though we did see fish, no other wildlife was seen. The crew was great and lunch was better than expected. We have been on better Oahu snorkel trips.

Fun family afternoon!

Melissa_W, Aug 2022

It was an awesome boat ride! The staff was so attentive. My family of 7 sat at the front of the boat and the staff kept stopping by to replenish our drinks and take our trash. Lunch was yummy and the whole experience was fun and relaxing. The snorkeling was great as well… we swam with a ton of beautiful fish and two turtles. We even saw dolphins! It was a beautiful afternoon I would highly recommend.

Recommended trip

HansUlrich_F, Aug 2022

We had lots of fun. The transfer was very well organised. The crew was nice. We saw dolphins and turtles. The snorkelling stop was ok. A lot of fish but not a reef, just a lava rock. A lot of drinks.

Awesome Experience, Highly Recommend!

Charles_Z, July 2022

The Catamaran Sail and Snorkel from Ko Olina was amazing!! Big shoutout to the crew - Hunter, Travis, Jake and Matt for providing a professional and exciting experience on the trip. They provided top notch service and were very kind/knowledgeable. On the tour we were able to see dolphins, turtles, and a ton of fish. This excursion was above my expectations and even includes lunch/drinks. I would highly recommend this crew and trip for all others.
