Sailing & Snorkeling Adventures with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures

Kapolei, Hawaii, offers a front-row seat to some of Oahu’s clearest waters and most vibrant marine life, and Ko Olina Ocean Adventures makes the most of it through its range of catamaran sailing and snorkeling excursions. Operating out of Ko Olina Marina, this local favorite welcomes adventurers aboard a spacious, stable catamaran designed for comfort and easy access to the water. Whether you choose a Sunrise, Midday, or Sunset Sail, the rhythm of the American Samoa, the gentle ocean breeze, and panoramic seascapes set the tone for a memorable Hawaiian outing.

The highlight of these trips is the snorkeling, conducted at calm lagoon spots teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, and colorful coral formations. Life jackets are provided for safety, making the activity accessible to swimmers of all levels. The crews are attentive and knowledgeable, sharing insights on marine life and ensuring everyone’s comfort. Passengers often find themselves face-to-face with green sea turtles gliding gracefully and occasionally lucky enough to spot reef sharks in shallow coves or pods of dolphins dancing alongside the boat during the return sail.

Food and beverages on board balance convenience with a touch of local flavor—generous snacks, fresh sandwiches, and refreshing cocktails or mocktails keep energy high without interrupting the laidback vibe. For special occasions, the New Year's Eve Sail promises an elevated experience, watching fireworks against the ocean backdrop while sailing the luminous Hawaiian waters.
