Oahu Catamarans Oahu, Hawaii (808) 286-4880
copyright 2009 - Kahala Catamarans


Oahu Catamarans was launched in early 1988 and immediately began taking snorkel tours to famous Hanauma Bay. The Hanauma Bay picnic and snorkel excursions were an immediate success with Hawaii's visitors. Unfortunately, the state of Hawaii implemented changes to its rules and regulations, thus prohibiting boats from entering Hanauma Bay. By late 1989, Kahala Catamarans was contracted by well known Kualao Ranch to provide a snorkel expierence for the ranch's guests. Over the next few years, our snorkeling trips became so popular, that Kualoa Ranch began to sell the picnic snorkel tour as an activity seperate from other ranch venues. Kahala Catamarans served the Kualoa Ranch guests until late 1996, when the lure of creating its own picnic snorkel cruise became irresistible. From 1997 to present, Kahala Catamarans has been providing Oahu's visitors a variety of different activities such as snorkeling, sailing, sunset cruises, private charters, weddings, and wakes to name just a few. Feel free to contact us anytime for more information on any of our activities or if you have any special requests.
