Sail, Swim, and Snorkel
Sail, swim, snorkel, go for a thrill ride, or just relax. Come out on your own 41' sailing catamaran and explore the coast of Waikiki. It's a private charter, so the itinerary is up to you! Let us host you aboard Pau Hana for your perfect Oahu catamaran experience.
Like all our excursions, we’ll cater to your preferences. If you’re looking for adventure, we’ll hoist full sail and head into the big ocean waves off Diamond Head. If you’re looking for a more relaxed experience, we’ll just fly the head sail and have a mellow cruise in the protected water off Waikiki. Want to find some wildlife? We will drop anchor and go for a snorkel to find schools of tropical fish and turtles that live in the sprawling coral reefs and sheltered waters off Waikiki. We will find dolphins and occasionally even a monk sea. Schedule enough time and we’ll go sail and anchor off Waikiki. There will be plenty of time for a swim and snorkel and play on our magic water carpet!
Two hours is a good amount of time to sail or to go for a swim and snorkel. Want to do both? Three hours or more allows plenty of time. Schedule your tour earlier in the day if you want to find wildlife. Whether you are a beginning snorkeler or have spent countless hours in the sea, we can adjust your trip to fit divers of all experience levels. Let us know your priorities and we’ll craft a great catamaran excursion just for you. We look forward to having you aboard and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
We provide a Kama’aina discount.

This adventure includes an in-water snorkeling guide to ensure everyone’s safety, to help find all the amazing wildlife below the surface, to identify animal species and to make sure you have an easy going and relaxing time on your snorkel adventure. We have spotted animals such as green sea turtles, Hawaiian monk seals, eagle rays, moray eels, white tipped sharks, Hawaiian spinner dolphins, octopus and humpback whales on our snorkeling excursions.
Want to capture the moment while you are on your excursion? We will take a go-pro camera and capture pictures and video of your underwater experience. so you can share your adventure with everyone.
Create the ultimate party and add food and beverage to your trip. We offer a chef made curated menu with snackable items that are perfect for your private cruise. Our scratch made menu items highlight fresh and local ingredients. The local fish is sourced from the market the day of your trip and many items are scratch made with Hawaii grown ingredients. You are supporting many local farmers and producers when you select items from the menu. Your tastebuds will thank you.
We will send you a menu when you book your charter so you can go over options on what to add. Order as much or as little as you like. If you don’t see what you want on the menu, let us know and we will work to put together a menu that works for you.
