About North Shore Catamaran - Sail & Snorkel Tour
Sail aboard Ho'o Nanea on a seasonal North Shore snorkel tour near Waimea Bay with snorkel gear, deli lunch and drinks included.
Available from late May through September, this relaxed adventure carries you along Oahu's rugged North Shore on a 40-foot sailing catamaran. Trade-wind breezes fill the sails while you watch for spinner dolphins that often surf the bow wave and green sea turtles cruising beside the hull.
The captain anchors near crystal-clear Waimea Bay, well away from the shore crowds. Slip into warm water and drift above living reefs teeming with tropical fish and colorful corals. After your snorkel, climb back on deck, rinse off, and enjoy a hearty deli lunch with a chilled drink as the coastline rolls by.
