Oahu is the third
largest island in the Hawaiian Island chain and is home to the capitol
of the state, Honolulu. Although the island is a major tourist
destination, those looking for snorkeling in Oahu will be pleasantly
surprised by the abundance of opportunities and relatively low crowds.
Oahu coral reefs boast excellent visibility and serene conditions along
with beautiful coral formations, sea turtles and other ocean life. The
secluded
Hanauma Bay is undoubtedly the most popular, but its status as
a wildlife sanctuary means that even this much-visited spot is still
home to excellent snorkeling in Oahu. For those who have never snorkeled
before, Oahu snorkeling is a great place to learn, with many tour
operators providing experienced
instructors who can teach the tricks of the trade. A truly great way to
expand on a your experience is by combining it with a sailing
excursion. These trips allow you to combine the fun and adventure of
exploring underwater with a beautiful and relaxing trip around the
island. Swimming and snorkeling with dolphins is another experience
offered by some Oahu snorkeling companies. If you are looking for a
shorter experience, equipment can be rented from hotels or even right
off the beach.
