If you are thinking about doing this but aren’t sure, do it!! As a first time snorkeler I was a little nervous. Georgia was an amazing guide and was so patient and encouraging. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I saw a sea turtle and so many beautiful fish. I can’t describe how wonderful it was. Thank you Georgia!

Full description

Discover the marine biodiversity of Hawaii without knowing how to swim with this snorkeling tour that is designed for beginners. Experience swimming through schools of brightly colored fish on this guided experience that includes all the gear that you need.  Meet your guide and get set up with your mask, snorkel, fins, lifejacket, and wetsuit. Watch as your guide teaches, shows, and explains the art of snorkeling. Practice in the shallow water with life jackets or other flotation devices.  Get comfortable with the water and find out how to float freely in shallow water before heading out into deeper water (10-20 feet) for 5-10 minutes. Become confident breathing with your snorkel before setting off in search of turtles and other marine life. Head to one of the best local coral reefs which is teeming with Hawaiian marine life, including green sea turtles. Return to your starting point before ending your tour.

The guides were so friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable and made us feel safe during the entire experience. I definitely recommend snorkeling with them for a fun experience. Our female tour guide was phenomenal and was great at coaching us through things.
