Set out from Oahu's scenic North Shore to the depths of the big blue Pacific, where you'll have the chance to observe wild sharks from inside an underwater shark cage. Thanks to your professional, experienced crew, the Oahu shark dive is completely safe as they know the predators' behavior, and the underwater cage provides proven safety against all different species of sharks.

With this Coconut Island snorkeling tour, you'll leave the streets of Waikiki behind as you depart for 'Gilligan's Island,' an offshore islet in Kaneohe Bay that's rung by a barrier reef. Learn about ancient cultural sites and Oahu's underwater ecosystem, and enjoy snorkeling in Kaneohe Bay with Hawaiian green sea turtles and fish. You'll also spend time exploring near shore and enjoy a barbecue lunch, and since this 6-hour Oahu eco-adventure only has eight guests per guide, the professional instruction and level of service is as personalized as it can get. 

Snorkel with green sea turtles in Oahu's Turtle Canyon on this 2- to 3-hour tour departing from Waikiki. Board a power catamaran and sail along the shore of Oahu towards the island's best place to spot the resident turtles. Turtle sightings are guaranteed; if a turtle is not sighted, you will be given a free second cruise. After snorkeling, enjoy lunch (if option selected ) and two provided drinks while you keep your eyes peeled for passing marine life like dolphins and migrating whales. Snorkel equipment and round-trip transportation from Waikiki hotels is included.

Ride a stand-up paddleboard down a sheltered river during a 2-hour lesson on Oahu's scenic North Shore.

Take your first paddle, or improve your skills with tips from your skilled instructors, then watch for bright fish and sea turtles as you explore a tranquil cove and enjoy this traditional Hawaiian water sport.
