Hawaii Dolphin Watch & Snorkel - Oahu Honi Olani Dolphin Snorkel Sail
- Sail and snorkel Oahu's beautiful Waianae Coast!
- Sail the smooth waters of the Waianae Coast alongside Hawaii dolphins, as you enjoy Oahu snorkeling at its finest! Your captain and crew provide attentive, expert service from start to finish!
Enjoy snorkeling and swimming at prime snorkel spots and swim among a variety of tropical fish! If you are lucky, you may even spot a local Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle or some friendly Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins! (Snorkeling observation of dolphins depends on dolphin behavior and is at the captain's discretion).
SNUBA Add-on! SNUBA brings the best of snorkeling and scuba together! It is an underwater breathing system where you use many similar pieces of equipment used in SCUBA such as swim fins, a diving mask, weights and a diving regulator, but instead of the oxygen coming from tanks strapped to your back, it comes through a long hose from tanks floating on pontoon rafts on the ocean surface above. With SNUBA you can go as deep as 20-feet or stay near surface. You set the pace and go at your own comfort level!
