Music, island vibes, and zero schedule pressure

The Ocean Adventure Cruise is a two-hour small-group escape built for swimming, snorkeling, floating, and relaxing on the water off Waikīkī's beautiful coastline. Instead of squeezing into busy snorkel sites alongside dozens of other boats, we anchor in spacious waters where you have room to swim, explore, and play — or just soak up the Hawaiian sunshine on a floating chair with music and great company. Max 6 guests aboard the Kona Star, $150 per person.

The Ocean, Your Way

Relaxing on floating chairs in clear tropical water beside the Kona Star

This cruise is all about enjoying the water however you like it. Snorkel crystal-clear water. Lounge on floating mats. Swim in warm tropical water with Diamond Head and the Waikīkī skyline as your backdrop. Or stay dry on deck with a drink and the Bluetooth speakers playing island vibes. There's no itinerary to keep up with — the two hours are yours.

Keep an eye out while you're in the water: Hawaiian green sea turtles, tropical fish, and dolphins share these waters, and in winter months, humpback whales pass through. Wildlife is wild — never guaranteed — but it has a way of showing up.

Who This Cruise Is For

  • Families who want water time without the crowded-catamaran chaos
  • Couples and friend groups after a floating, music-on kind of afternoon
  • Swimmers and snorkelers who want space instead of a crowded site
  • Anyone whose ideal Hawaiʻi day is equal parts in the water and stretched out above it

What's Included?

  • Snorkeling gear
  • Floating chairs
  • Complimentary drinks and snacks
  • Safety equipment
  • Experienced captain and crew
