Kayak and Snorkel Packages
Self Guided Kayak and Snorkel Discovery Package
With the self-guided kayak and snorkel discovery package, you can explore Kane’ohe Bay on your own and go at your own pace. We’ll give you a map of the bay and our expert staff will brief you on everything you need to know for a safe, fun-filled day on the bay. We’ll point you towards the famous Kane’ohe Sandbar (the Sunken Island), as well as several unique patch reefs that make for awesome snorkeling destinations. Search for sea turtles, manta rays, and so much more among the healthiest coral reefs anywhere on Oahu.
Kane’ohe Bay is protected from the open ocean current and swell by Oahu’s only barrier reef, making it a safe and idyllic paddling and snorkeling destination for all ages and experience levels. Come see for yourself at He’eia State Park where your adventure awaits! Your kayaks and gear will be set up right on the water’s edge, ready to go!
