Private Snorkel Adventure




Private Snorkel Adventure

Waikiki Area


ESCAPE THE CROWDS

 

Whether you are an expert or a first-timer, our private snorkel tour is the ultimate snorkeling experience. Unlike on crowded tour boats, you and your friends/family are the focus of this completely personalized private charter. Our experienced captain and crew know all the best spots for snorkeling and finding interesting sea life.

Sea turtles, coral, fish, eels, octopus, maybe even a shy (and harmless!) reef shark are just some of the things you might find. You are welcome to bring your own snorkeling gear, but we also provide everything you need. Our high quality snorkel gear is clean, well-maintained, and frequently replaced so you're never stuck using leaky old junk.

Turtle Canyon is the obvious destination, but we also have lots of other options. Our charters are customized just for you, which gives us flexibility, which combined with the speed and range of our boat, makes for endless possibilities. If it's crowded or murky at one spot, we can take you somewhere else. South Shore, West Side, we can go there!

OUR BOATS
This is not a “raft”

Renowned for their speed, stability, and versatility, RHIBs (Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats) are great for adventuring. Similar to what the Coast Guard and Navy Seals use, our Zodiacs are 30 feet long and unstoppable. Not only can these boats really get around, they are the perfect platform for swimming, diving, exploring the coast, and getting up close for viewing wildlife.

Although we only carry small private groups along with a captain and crew, they can safely accommodate as many 20 people. This allows for maximum fun without ever feeling crowded. With a boat capable of speeds over 45 knots and a range of 250 miles, where will your adventure take you?

Location

This tour leaves from the Ali Wai Harbor adjacent to Waikiki. Detailed meeting information will be included in your confirmation.

OUR CREW
Knowledge, skills, and jokes for days. We do this because we love it and we're all stoked that we get to share it with you. Our captains and crew are focused on safety and on your experience, ensuring that your adventure with us will be something you remember for years. Got a question? Just ask! Years of experience have given us a wealth of local knowledge about the islands and the wildlife we find here.

Originally from a small town on the North Shore of Oahu, Captain Chris has spent most of his life either on or in the water. Growing up surfing, diving, and boating, he developed a passion for the ocean that has persisted throughout his life. After a decade traveling the world while serving as a naval officer, he returned home to Hawaii to continue working on the water. The Adventure Boat is the result of years of driving yachts and leading boat tours. We took all the best parts and got rid of the stuff nobody likes to deliver our guests the ultimate experience on the ocean.

This was the highlight of our trip! It was myself, my husband and our 2 college aged sons and we had a spectacular time. They were knowledgeable, friendly and really just a pleasure to be with. Within 15 minutes of our trip they were able to find an amazing pod of dolphins that swam next to and then in front of our boat jumping in the air and spinning! It is well worth the money! The snorkeling was fabulous! I highly recommend them!!

This was such an awesome day 1/4/2021. I am so glad that I did not book a Catamaran. I sent a text to Adventure Boat and received such a quick response. I really wanted to book only for my family of 5 and I am so glad that I did. Capt Chris was excellent. He knows exactly where to go. We saw 3 whales!!! One was a baby. Then we went snorkeling with great gear. Not once did I swallow a gallon of salt water. Loved seeing the
turtles and all the beautiful tropical fish. Bonus was the spinner dolphins. We saw a pod and one swam within 3 feet of my son. He even heard the sounds that they make! Bonus was a video of this beautiful day. The boat was smooth and I usually get queasy on small boats, but I did not on this one! He has a cooler with ice and we brought our drinks and snacks.
My college son was worried b/c there were not a lot of reviews but this is a fairly new business which started right before Covid hit. Afterwards, my son could not stop talking about what a wonderful time he had (mom's sometimes know these things!)
I highly recommend this. So much worth the extra attention, great gear, super knowledgable Captain, and catering to our needs and not being treated like a number.
