What to Expect

This is the ultimate Hawaiian snorkelling experience for all ages! Experience the delight of peaceful 'honu' sea turtles cruising in their natural environment, the beautiful reefs of the clear blue Hawaiian sea. The ship, Ariya II, also features Titanic-style front railing, perfect for spotting spinner dolphins, or humpback whales in winter.

The tour begins with a powerful Hawaiian 'E'Ho Mai' chantto the gods of the sea for a safe trip with plentiful marine life. Great for all ages and levels of swimming experience, this tour is led by a knowledgeable, water safety-certified crew. For those needing some instruction prior to jumping in the water, the crew runs through a snorkel briefing on how to properly us the mask/snorkels and life vests, so everyone can enjoy the fun and stay safe.

Then it’s time to dive in and explore! Hawaii’s clear waters and signature sunny days produce beautiful colors, bringing the reef to life. Take your time soaking it all in and enjoying the vibrant Hawaiian reef fish and gentle turtles!

Back on deck, the crew will share information on Hawaiian marine life, such as turtles, dolphins and whales. You may even be lucky enough to see some dolphins and whales during your journey!

Remember to bring your swimmers and a towel along for the ride. Stay sun-safe with a hat, sunnies and sunscreen, but it can be a good idea to bring a light jacket in winter. There's no shoes allowed onboard for your safety, but don't worry, there is storage available for them during your time onboard.

On the way back, sit back, relax and let yourself be entertained by the ship's amazing crew as they perform authentic hula dance and songs. At the end, you will be invited to dance together to spread Aloha and give thanks.
