Waikiki Shark & Shipwreck Snorkel Tour

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Escape the crowds and dive into an intimate, eco-conscious snorkeling experience where you'll encounter sharks, sea turtles, and dolphins above the sunken Sea Tiger shipwreck

  • Snorkel above the haunting 160-ft Sea Tiger wreck with crystal-clear views from the surface
  • Spot Hawaiian reef sharks, turtles, and pelagic fish at a site far less crowded than neighboring snorkel sites
  • Enjoy a small-group, eco-conscious experience with only six guests per tour
  • Learn from lifeguard-certified guides who share marine biology, ocean safety, and cultural insight
  • Take in stunning views of Diamond Head, Ala Moana, and the Waikīkī skyline during the cruise out

Quick Local Tip: Some days the shipwreck is crystal clear from the surface, and other days it's just a shadow. But don’t let that fool you, even when the wreck isn’t visible from the boat, the sharks are still down there, and they’ll rise higher in the water column once swimmers get in. 

What to Expect

Cruise beyond Waikīkī to the Sea Tiger shipwreck, where clear blue water and a thriving artificial reef create one of Oʻahu's most exciting snorkeling experiences. As your guide shares the story of the wreck and the marine life it attracts, anticipation builds for what may be waiting below the surface.

Slip into the water and snorkel above the sunken ship as schools of tropical fish, Hawaiian green sea turtles, and large pelagic species move through the reef. One of the highlights of the shipwreck site is the opportunity to observe reef sharks cruising naturally around the wreck, offering an unforgettable glimpse of these graceful predators in their ocean habitat. While every tour is different, the combination of the wreck, abundant marine life, and frequent shark sightings makes this one of Waikīkī's most unique snorkel sites.

After your guided snorkel, climb back aboard and enjoy a relaxing cruise back to Ala Wai Boat Harbor as your crew shares stories about Hawaiʻi's marine ecosystem and the conservation efforts helping protect it for future generations.
