Oahu Snorkel Tours

Hawaii Snorkeling

At last! The Truth About Oahu Snorkel Tours by
Hawaii’s Snorkeling Expert!


Aloha, I’m Grant Kailikea and during my lifetime of diving here in the Hawaiian Islands, I’ve had the opportunity to have ridden and evaluated every full time snorkel tour on Oahu.

The truth about Oahu snorkel tours is most times the tours with the best advertising have the poorest quality… and the worst part is if you don’t have a thorough knowledge of the industry, you understandably wouldn’t know any better.

Because of my unique insider knowledge of the Hawaii snorkeling industry, I’m always asked by visitors which tour companies I recommend.

Here’s my insider list of the exceptional Oahu snorkel tours carefully chosen based on overall visitor experience, snorkeling location, and customer service. This short list has literally taken me years to research and narrow to these outstanding few.

To make your vacation planning easier, I’ve contacted each of these companies and negotiated a below retail discounted rate for you.  Enjoy!

Maitai Catamaran - Fun, convenient, and a fantastic value for your dollar.  This enthusiastic crew serves the most bang for your buck on Oahu.  (read about my experience on their Underwater Adventure Sail)

Hawaii Shark Encounters - Nothing you do this vacation will compare to swimming face to face with sharks!  The most heart thumping, breath-taking, cant-stop-talking-about-it Hawaiian adventure.  (read about my experience on their Shark Tour)

Hawaii Nautical - You can’t find an Oahu snorkel tour that takes more pride in spoiling their guests.  Hands down, the best full service sail and snorkeling company on Oahu.  (read about my experience on their Dolphin Snorkel Sail)



Snorkel Wisely
I know… I know… but it has to be said. The Hawaii snorkeling information contained within these pages is meant only as a general guide as to what to expect when visiting the Hawaiian Islands. As beautiful and mild as Hawaii usually is, weather is always unpredictable. Know your swimming ability. Be prudent and take into consideration the weather and environmental conditions when planning your beach activities. Obey warning signs, they are there to protect you. “Those waves don’t look that bad” are famous last words. I want you to enjoy all that our beautiful islands have to offer. Just use common sense, ok.
