Private Shore-Based Tours

After 30+ years we have learned that small groups allow relationships to grow, while providing us the flexibility to explore excellent snorkeling sites away from the heavily traveled tourist routes. Our Tours cater to both novice and experienced snorkelers. People who snorkel with us range from all ages and skill levels, including those who are physically disabled, afraid of the water, and many with no prior snorkeling experience. Whether it is how to put on a mask, or how to improve your free diving skills, we concentrate on allowing you to develop a calm confidence in the water regardless of swimming ability or previous experience.

We love and appreciate the wonder of tropical seas and will pass our passion on to you! We are different than boat snorkel tours to Molokini Crater, and other places that anchor at one limited location with buoy markers to contain the large masses of snorkelers.

Typical Tour Schedule

Your extraordinary morning of snorkeling will begin about 7:30-8am and wrap up around noon. A marine biology briefing is offered on how to identify different species, and interesting facts about the aquatic environment. Additionally, we provide a lesson for those who have not snorkeled before, as well as tips and techniques to improve existing skills for the more experienced snorkelers. During your tour we view and identify fish, turtles, coral, and more, and go at a slow, leisurely pace.

When you show up, wear your swimsuit with clothes over, and shoes that are easy to get on and off. You will need to bring a towel, waterproof sun block and a hat or visor. We will bring water, but you are welcome to bring your own as well. You will need to eat a good breakfast that morning, and we will provide food after we are done snorkeling which includes fresh pineapple, granola bars, cheese, a snack mix and bottled water.
