After morning pickup at your Waikiki hotel, meet your guide at He’eia State Park’s beach where your catamaran awaits.
Your guide provides a safety briefing and introduction to the boat, plus snorkeling gear and lifejackets. Once you’re ready, hop on board the Hobie Getaway catamaran, a zippy sailboat equipped with trampoline decks and coolers. Be prepared to get wet from the spray as you sail; it’s all part of the fun.
As your guide sets off on Kaneohe Bay, you can kick back and relax or, if you’re interested in learning to sail, your guide can give provide instruction and let you steer or trim the sails (as conditions permit).
Depending on the group’s interests and the day’s conditions, your guide decides on the destinations for your sail. Possibilities include Turtle Canyon, Sunken City, Coconut Island and the famous Sunken Island sandbar. Visit pristine patch reefs that offer excellent snorkeling opportunities, with a wide variety of tropical fish, sea turtles, manta rays, spotted eagle rays and other marine creatures regularly found in these waters.
After several hours of sailing and snorkeling, your guide cruises back to the park where you feast on a delicious barbecue lunch at the waterfront. Snacks and drinks are also provided during the day.
No experience is necessary for this tour and it's a great way to start learning about catamaran sailing. A maximum of 5 participants plus your guide can fit on the boat, making for a personalized experience with your guide.
At the end of a 3-hour sailing and snorkeling experience in paradise, your tour ends with drop off at your hotel in Waikiki.
