Description

Set sail with Hawaii Nautical from Anaehoomalu Bay at the Waikoloa Beach Resort for a scenic tour along the Kohala Coast. Cruise aboard the 54-foot Spirit of Aloha catamaran, built for comfort and stability. Snorkel the crystal-clear waters off the Big Island, known for tropical fish, sea turtles, and—during winter months—even humpback whales.

Cool off with a freshwater shower, grab a shaded seat, and enjoy lunch and drinks on board. The trip includes sanitized snorkel gear, fins, and a safety vest, along with in-water assistance from a lifeguard-certified crew.

Take advantage of complimentary transportation from the Hilton Waikoloa, or check in at A-Bay 20 minutes early for beach loading via a short barefoot walk and tender boat.

This three-hour tour blends ocean adventure with laid-back island hospitality—perfect for families, first-time snorkelers, and anyone looking to make the most of their time on the Big Island.

Our goal was for our two 16 year old granddaughters to experience snorkeling in the waters around Oahu and that goal was exceeded! The driver that picked us up with so knowledgeable about the area and the rest of the staff were great! We felt very safe and absolutely loved the four hours! Highly recommend!

Lovely trip. The crew were experienced and careful, really worked together as a team. The reef was lovely and we had enough time to explore it. We were under sail on the catamaran on the way back, which was especially nice.

We did the Snorkel / Dolphin cruise from Waianae and it was GREAT! Turtles and dolphins and a bonus pod of pilot whales. Easy sailing, fair seas, and a fun crew! Very safe in case you're wondering! Snorkeling was easy, and plenty of fish. Even saw a manta ray! And…a very entertaining ride from Ko Olina with our driver, Eddie❗️ All in All, I’d highly recommend this trip…worth every penny❗️

"An Amazing, Unforgettable Experience"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 06, 2025
My girlfriend and I wanted to go snorkeling while in Hawaii and ended up booking a two hour tour with Hawaii Nautical over to Turtle Canyon. There were a crew of four and ten passengers, including my girlfriend and I. The crew ensured all passengers were informed and walked everyone through the basics of snorkeling. The crew took their time to help people who could not swim well, however, everyone is given a life jacket prior to getting into the water. From where we were at, Turtle Canyon was about 15 - 20 feet under water. The water was very cloudy but my girlfriend and I got to see a turtle and several schools of fish. Overall, this was an amazing opportunity. While we wish the water was not as cloudy, we understand we could not control that and we still had a lot of fun. The crew were amazing, professional, and informative. If you are looking to snorkel, Hawaii Nautical is the best place to do it with.

Fantastic tour. The crew was great, friendly and the service was quick. Plenty of drinks and great music. The food was good but eat early to get it hot. We were set up in a fantastic position to watch the fireworks. Really had a great time.
