Snorkel With Sharks and Reef Fish

The Shark Snorkel is your chance to get in the water and float face to face with Hawaiian reef sharks and schools of colorful tropical fish, all in the calm, controlled setting of Sea Life Park on Oahu's windward coast.

After a safety briefing with the team, you gear up and glide across a clear reef pool. Reef sharks cruise below you while curious tangs and other Hawaiian reef fish swim in close, and you can even help feed them a piece of lettuce and watch the whole school swarm in. Guides stay with you the entire time, so it feels safe and easy even if it is your first time in a mask and snorkel.

Your ticket includes one-day general admission, so before or after your snorkel you can enjoy the park's dolphin show, marine exhibits, and the sweeping views across Makapuu and Rabbit Island.
