Why We Love This Unique Experience

Hawaii Experience Gifts: Enjoy panoramic views over glorious scenery including the beautiful mountains of Oahu, with this four-hour ocean kayaking and snorkelling experience.

With all equipment provided, you’ll only need to bring a swimsuit and your sense of adventure, as your kayak is launched into the calm, crystal clear waters of Hawaii’s Kaneohe Bay, just steps from your meeting point. Beneath the ocean surface you’ll spot intricate coral reef formations, tropical fish, and marine wildlife, including the local population of sea turtles. If you fancy, you’ll also be able to use your snorkel (and handy kayak leash) to get into the water for a closer view. This tour is entirely self-guided so you can take it at your own pace.

This 4-hour ocean kayak and snorkelling experience would be a truly memorable gift for adventure lovers of all ages, and an amazing add on to a Hawaiian vacation.

Kaneohe Bay Snorkeling

Kayaking out the first reef, Kaneohe Bay’s Turtle Reef, only takes about 15 minutes. The water is nice and clear around the coral and the best viewing is usually on the edge of the underwater coral islands. From there, you have the choice to swim with the provided snorkel gear and floating kayak leash or keep padding around the reef. The other reefs are not too far north and south of you.

We conveniently provide a floating kayak leash so you can tow your kayaks behind you as you snorkel as opposed to dropping to a kayak anchor which can easily damage the reef; even when used by experienced professionals.

Adventure responsibly. The reef is beautiful, but don’t touch it. You will hurt it and it will hurt you. Coral reefs are sharp and highly abrasive to your skin. Cuts received from contact with coral often get infected because coral is alive, so keep your distance.
