DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE SNORKELING?
The Hawai’i health department advises that “you need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim without the aid of any equipment”. Our buddy system requires weak but comfortable swimmers to pair up with a stronger swimmer from the same party. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and boogie boards available to assist weak but comfortable swimmers during our excursions.

Kids are no longer free because Hawai’i charges a $1 ocean stewardship fee.
