WHO IT IS FOR
Snorkellers whose morning is already committed. This is the afternoon version of North Shore Catamaran Charters’ snorkel sail, running three hours rather than the four-hour morning trip, at the same $139 price – so book this one for the timing, not the value. Passenger numbers are capped at 16 on a boat licensed for more, which is deliberate: the point is a peaceful snorkel away from other boats, in clear tropical water, guided by professionals. All snorkel equipment is on board and you are welcome to bring your own instead. Hawaii’s living reefs host hundreds of species of fish and other marine life, and sea turtles are regularly observed near shore during the sail along the North Shore. You meet at North Shore Catamaran Charters, 66-105 Haleiwa Rd., Haleiwa, HI 96712.
Consider instead: the morning sail is the same price for a full extra hour on the water, so take that one if your schedule allows. If snorkelling is not the draw, the two-hour sail and cruise is $79, seasonal from October to 14 December.
