Description:

Feel the warm sun against your skin and cool off in the refreshing Pacific waters on this sailing and snorkeling trip in the pristine Pawai Bay. Admire the brilliant blues of the vast ocean and wide-open sky and mingle with the vibrant community of fish and undersea life.

Your excursion starts aboard a 36-foot (11-m), 24-passenger catamaran, complete with shade and a freshwater shower. Head out to the nearby Pawai Bay, a marine sanctuary where your captain and crew will give a brief history of the area, describe the sea life that you can see, and make sure you are comfortable with your snorkeling gear.

Once you're ready to dive in, explore the underwater world of fish, caves, steep drop-offs, and coral-encrusted lava formations. Some of the area's most frequent guests are manta rays, spotted eagle rays, and green sea turtles. Depths vary from 3–4 feet (90–120 cm) to more than 100 feet (30 m), where the bottom disappears into the dark.

After snorkeling, climb back aboard the catamaran and feast on a tropical-style lunch, complete with fresh island fruit and soda, juice, water, beer, or wine. Relax on the trampoline net and bask in the sun as you sail back towards the harbor.
