WEST OAHU SNORKELING TOURS
Explore the beauty of Waianae, the West Coast of Oahu, during our morning and afternoon cruises. The morning tour starts early, and guests are treated to a beautiful morning with calmer waters throughout the entire trip. The afternoon tour is more of an adventure as the afternoon winds make the journey a little more exciting. No matter which time you choose, either to get up early or sleep in late, you will have a great snorkel tour out in Waianae.
Out on this side of the island, our guests often see dolphins, turtles, whales (in season), and other wildlife as we cruise the coast or when they are snorkeling. These tours start at Ko Olina Marina, but the tour price includes pick-up at Waikiki hotels.
