An Aquarium Without the Glass - The
Best Half of Hawaii is Underwater...
Hawaii Snorkeling Adventures on the island of Oahu
Snorkeling
is a tool used to access one of nature's most marvelous realms,
and the oceans of Hawaii remain one of the best arenas for exercising our sense
of discovery.
Hawaii's
marine realm is outstandingly rich and highly unique. Twenty-five percent
of our coral reef fish are endemic - found only in Hawaiian waters.
Wild Side snorkeling tour's have been voted #2 in the USA by National Geographic and were also nominated for Hawaii's own prestigious Living Reef Awardfor showing respect for and aloha to local waters.
We'll share our personal "best's" with you, tailored to what you want to see. You can swim nearby green sea turtles nibbling on coral reefs and milletseed butterfly fish (found only in Hawaiian waters) darting about in perfect
sparkling unison, or follow brilliantly colored parrotfish meandering
through a fluid neighborhood while whistles of dolphins and song of whales are present in the background (well OK,
at least the ever present sound of snapping shrimp!) - all in waters ranging from 76 - 82 degrees. 
Getting
into the water aboard the Island Spirit is "easy-on, easy-off" with our staircase ladders, as pictured to the right.
Much more than a "taxi
service" shuttling you between sites, your own marine biologist crew will always be on the lookout for near shore spinner dolphins, off shore spotted dolphins and a host of seabirds, flying fish and other marine wildlife that characterize Hawaii.
Snorkeling equipment and instruction are provided on all morning cruises along with food, drinks and anything else that occurs during the three hours that we will be maximimizing your time on and in the water.
Ancient coral reefs on Oahu's west side can put tourist-heavy areas like Hanauma Bay to shame
with their serenity, natural beauty and healthy reef communities. View tropical
reef snorkel spots, about 45 minutes - but
worlds away - from the the city bustle of Waikiki or Honolulu...
Fish Feeding
Fish feeding has been shown to change reef systems, and make fish aggressive. Help the reef and stay safe, please leave the food (and plastic bags!) at home.
