EXPLORE HAWAIIAN WILDLIFE
We offer a wide variety of amazing adventures for beginners or those with more in-water skills. As a family-owned and operated business, we are Ohana (family) friendly and people of all ages are welcome aboard. Our most popular adventure is our snorkel cruise! Join us for a beautiful snorkel in Honolulu, just off Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head in the background at one of the worlds most popular snorkeling spots, Turtle Canyon! North Shore is another beautiful diving and snorkeling spots in the Pupukea marine sanctuary where you can hop in and snorkel at Three tables and Sharks Cove! When ever you’re out on a snorkeling adventure with us an in-water guide will accompany you the entire duration of your snorkel and point out marine life as it gracefully glides through the water. Some common species spotted on our snorkel trips are Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, Spinner Dolphins, a wide variety of reef fish, Hawaiian Monk Seals, and more! During whale season you may also view Humpback whales breaching or swimming by while on your way to our destination! Our friendly, experienced crew is filled with knowledge that they are eager to share with you as you sightsee along the gorgeous coast.

For those who would like to experience marine life but do not wish to hop in to swim or snorkel, we have several cruise options that are perfect to fit your needs! From sunset cruises to Friday night fireworks, you have the option to book the trip that best caters to your needs. There is something so special about the sunsets here in Hawaii that everyone should experience during their lifetime. Watch the majestic sky light up with bold, brilliant colors of orange, red, yellow, purple, and more.

Our sunset cruises are perfect for couples, families, and friends looking to celebrate a special occasion or just experience the breathtaking beauty of O’ahu together.

Our Friday Night Firework cruise is perfect for those who aren’t quite ready to end their day after dinner but are eager to make the most of a Friday night away from the crowds. Just after sunset, you will depart from Ala Wai Harbor and cruise along the Waikiki coastline. Take in the view of the beautiful city lights as you eagerly wait to experience the most unique place to watch a firework show put on by the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

These two brothers who run this company are knowledgeable and super flexible! The boat is clean and comfortable. They are obviously very invested in your experience. But the flexibility and accommodation are what made this a super snorkeling experience! We were able to take our 5 month old with us no problem thanks to them. If you get sea sick though, take some Dramamine beforehand!

Such a great day on the beautiful water! The whale watching was wonderful but the best part was the snorkeling. Forest took us away from the crowds and we had a the best time swimming with the turtles! Highly recommend if you are looking for an amazing snorkeling experience.

The BEST snorkeling experience!! It was super windy during our Hawaii trip and he was so nice to reschedule a day that worked for us (even changed his own schedule to make it work for us) and we ended up having a private snorkeling excursion! Forrest was also smart enough to bring us a little further from all the other snorkeling groups, pointed out fish and other sea life and took awesome underwater photos for us. Seriously book these guys for your snorkeling trip!!!

The most awesome snorkeling and whale watching tour. Forrest and Tyler are friendly, accommodating, and helpful. With a small passenger size, it feels more like going out on the boat with friends. Highly recommend this company!!
