There are numerous opportunities to get a close-up view of sea life in Oahu. Take a guided snorkeling tour off Oahu's North Shore and swim alongside reef fish and eels that reside in the heavenly blue waters. On the west side of the island, visit Electric Beach or Makua Beach to swim with dolphins or visit Kaneohe Bay to see elegant stingrays gliding through the water. Try Haleiwa Beach on the North Shore to view Hawaiian sea turtles. Not only is the water there crystal clear, but sea turtles also gather in the numerous coves located along the coastline. Tours also provide amazing underwater photo and video experiences during the fall, winter, and early spring months.
