The experience
The catamaran leaves from Waikiki with snorkel gear already on board: masks, fins and life jackets are included, and you can bring your own if you prefer. The boat itself is the main feature: a 65-foot double-decker with a top deck that lets you jump into the water from 20 feet up, and a lower deck where you can watch the Pacific and Waikiki's coastline between swims. The crew feeds the fish while you're in the water, which draws them close enough to see clearly.
You'll spend the 2.5 hours swimming around the boat in safe viewing distance of the marine life that lives here year-round: regular fish populations and green sea turtles, plus occasional hawksbill turtles. If you're there between December and April, humpback whales pass through the area. The water, juice and light snacks are included. You can also bring your own food and drinks as long as there's no glass. Bathrooms are on board.
The crew is a live English-speaking guide who can answer questions about what you're seeing and help you get the most out of the jump and the snorkeling. Bring a change of clothes, sunscreen, swimming wear and a towel. If you're prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication an hour before boarding. Transportation to and from the boat is $10 per person round-trip. Parking at the departure point is $4 per hour. All passengers sign a liability waiver before boarding.
