Oahu Snorkeling
Explore Hawaii’s Underwater Wonders
Put on your snorkel, mask and fins and dive into Hawaii’s spectacular underwater
world. Hang out with the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa, the Hawaiian state fish, and his
marine friends in the warm, crystal clear water of the islands. You will feel
like you are swimming in an aquarium. Say hello to the green sea turtles and
float with them weightlessly in their amazing world. You will see tons of fish
in amazing colors, some of them are so curious that they even swim right up to
your mask and check you out. The bright sunlight turns the coral reef into a
fairy tale world, shining in all the colors of the rainbow.
Oahu is the home of many prime snorkeling areas. Starting with the nature
preserve Hanauma Bay State Underwater Park, there is also the fabulous Kewalo
Reef near Diamond Head and world famous Waikiki beach, which offers good
snorkeling conditions as well. The Leeward Coast on the western side of the
island also has many inviting spots. All are safe and fun playgrounds for
snorkel fans.
