1.Kailua Bay, Oahu: Epic Kayak and Snorkel to Islands

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,311 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $114Our pick

Paddle Kailua Bay to bird sanctuary islands and snorkel near Lanikai for green sea turtles, with gear, lockers, showers, and lunch included.

“The experience was great for me, however, dragging the kayak back to the store 1/4 of a mile was tough for my wife and an 11 yr old kid since we have a family and needed 2 kayaks. It could be better if they could have a trailer pulled by a truck to bring it down to the location for us like white water rafting. Overall it was fun me for people who are fit and able to DIY.”

2.Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour – 2nd Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 443 reviews · 2 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $158

Snorkel the Kaneohe Sandbar from He'eia Kea Boat Harbor with turtles, gear, paddle boards, and snacks. 2h45 in Oahu.

“Well organized, incredibly friendly guides. Best snorkel and sandbar spot. Super blue water. Actually got to swim with a sea turtle. Incredible Mountain Views. Staff went above and beyond to make sure that we saw and understood all the wild life. Lastly they gave us a dinner recommendation, which turned out to be our favorite meal of our entire trip. If you’re staying in Waikiki, it is worth the trip to the other side of the island, as opposed to all the trips that take you to turtle canyon right off Waikiki. This trip was 1000x better!”

“Trekking the kayak 1/2 mile from pkg lot to bike path thru river then sand not fun. Literally double price by using Viator vs going to kayak shop directly. Felt very ripped off ( $212 for 2 ppl vs $90 since we brought our own snorkel equipment but website doesn’t give option to decline using theirs.). Our mistake for not having asked more questions or checking with shop directly well in advance. Will never use Viator again. Buyer beware! Positive: very Pretty area, saw turtles and a sea lion on one of the islands. Should be strong and have some kayak experience for this. Gave 1 star due to how…”

A private 5-hour Oahu Grand Circle tour with flexible stops, a friendly guide, and easy access to North Shore turtles, Honolulu sights, and Lanikai.

“Aloha MK Tour is best way to see Oahu sites. I travelled in a clean, comfortable air conditioned SUV. Ken greeted me with warm Aloha vibes. The tour is private & best for solo or small groups. First stop was a local malasada food truck on the way to Lanikai beach. Malasadas are essential! He easily took me to the entrance of Lanikai Beach which can be tough to get to with other larger tour groups. Lanikai is a must when visiting Oahu! After Lanikai we stopped at a local chocolate factory. Booking w/ Aloha MK Tours you’re supporting local businesses and the community. I had enjoyed our conversations and…”
