    Aloha Jordan and Erica! I will snorkel this week for some B Rolls so your video is very helpful. Gonna check out Three Tables and Turtle Bay. I appreciate you giving safety tips also and talking about not stepping on the coral and staying at least 10 feet away from the turtles. Always fun and informative videos that put safety first. Mahalo🤙

    I can’t be argue with your listing. Keep up the great work guys. I am planning on heading to Kauai and Oahu in early November. It’s been a while since I’ve been there-18 months. Keep giving the reminder of “ if in doubt don’t go out”. It’s an important one.

    Great safety tips and suggestions! Keep up the awesome work. Love your videos; keep them coming! I took my family to Oahu in July of '21, and we ended up doing a catamaran tour out of Ko Olina. I agree; it was great snorkeling...lots of fish and we got to see a big sea turtle come out from a lava tube! Really cool!

    Our favorite place to snokel on Oahu is to the right of Shark's Cove. You can walk along the road just a little way and then down a hill and through some trees to the water. It's a clear path that many people use. Really nice fish, turtles, and deeper but not too deep water that is clear when the water is calm in the summer. Thanks for the videos!

    I haven't seen in your videos do you take your kids snorkeling? I'm wondering about how to snorkel when you have a 3 year old.

    It's called Sharks Cove because from above the formation looks like a shark shape..at least that's what I read on the internet. Thank you for posting this. I had been wondering how the snorkeling is at the Ko'Olina Lagoons because I'd like to go there. I prefer almost no wave action but still want to see some fish. Do you have a preference as to which lagoon to snorkel?

    Thanks for watching and doing that research. See our Ko Olina Guide for more details on snorkeling and the lagoons. They are all the same in design but Lagoon 2 and 3 are less crowded. thehawaiivacationguide.com/ko-olina-guide/

    Thank you! I never downloaded them into a device. I guess bad idea. But they’re reasonably priced and you update the info so it won’t be a big deal if I need to buy a new one. I was just curious.

    Thanks for subscribing! Book that trip now as August is busy. We share places to stay here: thehawaiivacationguide.com/stay/ Stay in Waikiki as it has a lot to do and easy to get around the island. Ko Olina is good for kids too but a big resort area. See our website for more info!

    Would you say snorkeling is worthwhile for someone that doesn’t know how to swim very well? The plan would be to use a floatation device at all times and only be in somewhat shallow water. Are there any good spots where something like this is feasible?

    That is hard to say. Snorkeling tours request good swimmers for safety. While they have crew in the water for safety, they aren't professional lifeguards. Perhaps call one, like this one from Ko Olina. They have a good crew. thehawaiivacationguide.com/activities/catamaran-sail-snorkel-oahu-hawaii/
