Overview

Discover the best of Honolulu’s underwater world in one unforgettable experience—perfect for first-timers!

This 2-in-1 ocean adventure combines beginner-friendly scuba diving and snorkeling in the calm, clear waters of Waikiki. Designed for those with little to no experience, this guided tour makes it easy, safe, and fun. You don't need to know how to swim.

Start with a relaxed beachside introduction where your professional instructor will walk you through everything step-by-step—no prior experience or swimming skills required. You’ll practice in shallow water until you feel comfortable, then head out for your guided scuba dive, where you’ll breathe underwater and discover a whole new world.

After your snorkel, continue the adventure with a guided Scuba Diving tour, giving you even more time to spot tropical fish, sometimes sea turtles, and other incredible marine life.

To make it even better, we include free videos of your experience to relive and share it with friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Beginner Scuba and Snorkeling Ocean Adventure in Honolulu?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
