Ko'Olina Catamaran Snorkel Sail

Location: West Oahu, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Sail freely along Ko Olina’s shimmering leeward coast as spinner dolphins arc beside the hull and the ocean opens into clear, calm snorkeling reefs alive with turtles and tropical fish. With a smooth-riding catamaran, great food, and wild marine encounters, it’s West Oʻahu at its most vibrant and unforgettable.

  • Sail in comfort on a 53’ Gold Coast catamaran with cushioned decks and shaded seating
  • Watch playful spinner dolphins and seasonal humpback whales from the catamaran
  • Snorkel West Oʻahu’s reefs where turtles gather at natural cleaning stations
  • Glide over tropical fish, eagle rays, and healthy coral in calm leeward waters
  • Refuel after snorkeling with a Hawaiian-style lunch and complimentary drinks
  • Cruise back along the leeward coast with the golden Wai‘anae mountains and coastline views 

Quick Local Tip: West Oʻahu’s snorkeling reefs have what are known as turtle cleaning stations. Look for schools of small yellow tang or surgeonfish hovering over pockets in the reef. That’s often where a honu is parked, letting the reef fish clean its shell long before the turtle itself comes into view.

What to Expect

Board a spacious 53-foot Gold Coast catamaran at Ko Olina Marina and cruise along Oʻahu's calm leeward coast in search of Hawaiian spinner dolphins. These playful dolphins are often seen swimming alongside the boat, while winter departures may also bring sightings of migrating humpback whales.

When the captain selects the day's best reef conditions, you'll anchor at a West Oʻahu snorkeling site known for clear water, colorful tropical fish, and healthy coral. One of the highlights is visiting natural turtle cleaning stations, where Hawaiian green sea turtles pause while reef fish gently clean their shells.

After your snorkel, climb back aboard for a Hawaiian-style lunch served on deck with refreshing drinks, including complimentary alcoholic beverages for adult guests. Relax in the ocean breeze as the catamaran sails back toward Ko Olina, taking in the scenic coastline and one last look across Oʻahu's western shores.
