Dolphin Watch Sail
A smooth catamaran ride is fun enough on its own right, but on this tour you get to travel with pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins gliding through the water around you. This is also a good time to grab a cup of coffee or some fresh fruit offered as part of the complimentary continental breakfast.
Snorkel & Swim (35 to 45 minutes)
Many of Oahu's best snorkeling locations can only be reached by boat. Luckily, the captain and crew are local experts that can take you directly to an outstanding spot for a dip. Here you'll find good chances to encounter friendly marine life, like sea turtles and tropical fish.
Lunch Break
Help yourself to a delicious deli-style lunch spread. You'll also have unlimited access to non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day, as well as two complimentary alcoholic drinks per adult.
