Know before you book

Is snorkeling mandatory?
No! You do not have to snorkel if you don’t want to. The snorkel spot we go to is very shallow — even a child can stand up if they need to. You can relax on the beach, take photos, or enjoy the scenery while others snorkel.
What should I bring?
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, bring reef-safe sunscreen, a swimsuit if you’d like to get in the water, and keep your confirmation handy. We provide snacks, drinks, and snorkel gear.
How long is the tour?
Plan for a full day — roughly 8–10 hours from Waikiki pickup to drop-off. Exact timing varies with traffic, weather, and the day’s flow.
How does pickup work?
Waikiki pickup is included. The booking calendar shows a 7:00 AM start, but hotel pickups begin earlier — from around 6:45 AM — so you’ll see your exact pickup point and time when you choose your hotel at booking. Please be ready a few minutes early.
