Ko Olina Private Wildlife Snorkel Charter, 2 Hours

Overview

The MANA Cruises Ko Olina wildlife snorkel charter is a private 2-hour catamaran trip from Ko Olina Marina for up to 6 guests at 10 AM, 1 PM or 4 PM, with a snorkel stop and fishing on the return, at $1,108 per boat. It suits families wanting the boat to themselves. The biggest drawback: short, and licenses cost extra.
