Next is downtown Honolulu, featuring the only royal palace in the country. Above the city stands Punchbowl, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. The tour continues above Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island, the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and Waikiki Beach. See surfers, marine life and the sparkling white sand of the world's most famous beach. At Diamond Head, you'll turn and head over Honolulu proper, the University of Hawaii campus and on up the Nuuanu Pali. Here you will get a fine view of Lulumahu Falls and a grand perspective of Honolulu.
On your return to the resort area you'll see the campus of Kamehameha Schools and Oahu?s Central Plain.
Catamaran Sail & Snorkel - Our catamaran cruise also provides you with a chance to see dolphins up close, but you'll stay aboard rather than swim with the creatures. The catamaran snorkel adventure tour is more relaxed than the dolphin encounter, but you'll still have ample opportunity to see gorgeous coral reefs and the colorful fish that inhabit the area. After seeing the dolphins, you'll visit two snorkel spots including "Turtle Town", a natural turtle cleaning station. You'll watch the ever friendly green sea turtles gather to get their shells and skin cleaned by algae-eating reef fish.
During the winter months, you may also be treated to the sight of humpback whales, as well as a variety of rays and Hawaiian monk seals.
Tour features complimentary hot drinks and muffins for our early morning tour, and hot and cold drinks and snacks for our mid-day tour. Lunch is served at the marina following your tour. Choice of a Hawaiian-style pulled pork, teriyaki chicken sandwich or a veggie burger, as well as fruit salad, chips, and hot and cold drinks. Bottled water is provided onboard the boat.
Our crew equips you with high quality snorkeling gear; prescription masks up to a #5 are available.
