Private Waikiki Snorkel Speedboat

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

Punch the throttle and blast out of Waikīkī on a private Zodiac, salt spray in the air and the south shore ripping past at full speed. Then drop into electric-blue reefs to snorkel, swim, and spot wildlife. It's pure adrenaline, total freedom, and zero crowds.

  • Cruise Waikīkī’s coastline aboard a private high-speed Zodiac
  • Snorkel flexible offshore reefs chosen for daily visibility
  • Spot turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whales offshore
  • Enjoy personalized guidance with a dedicated captain and crew
  • Swim and explore without crowds or fixed itineraries

Quick Local Tip: Stick close to the crew once you’re in the water. They jump in and guide you straight to the best coral and marine life. You’ll see far more than if you snorkel off on your own.

What to Expect

Check-in takes place at Ala Wai Boat Harbor, where the captain and crew will greet you before getting everyone comfortably aboard our 30ft Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat "Zodiac" Boat. With no need to arrive early, boarding is smooth and efficient. Once the group is ready, the boat cruises past the iconic Waikiki surf breaks and into calmer offshore waters, where vibrant reef ecosystems await.

The snorkeling experience is highly personalized and flexible, tailored to the day’s ocean conditions and your group’s interests. Unlike crowded tours that follow a strict route, this charter adapts in real-time. If visibility is poor in one location, the crew can quickly relocate to a clearer, more secluded reef. This flexibility is matched by the speed and range of the vessel, allowing access to some of the best snorkeling spots off Waikiki.

Guided by a seasoned captain and attentive crew, you’ll explore reef systems teeming with life. Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles glide effortlessly through the water, tropical fish dart between coral heads, and the occasional octopus or harmless reef shark may make a surprise appearance. Moray eels and vibrant, living coral add to the sense of discovery.

All snorkeling equipment is provided, cleaned, and well-maintained to ensure comfort and safety. Whether you're trying snorkeling for the first time or already confident in the water, the crew provides hands-on support tailored to your comfort level—creating a relaxed, safe, and memorable ocean experience.
