FAQ’s
DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE SNORKELING?
Snorkeling experience is not necessary. You need to be comfortable in the water and should be able to swim without the aid of any equipment. Our crew will show you how to use the snorkel equipment.

IS SNORKELING SAFE?
The Hawaii Health Department says, “You should be comfortable in the water and able to swim without any equipment.” Our buddy system requires weak but comfortable swimmers to pair up with a stronger swimmer from the same party.
