    Private catamaran sunset cruise - great experience! Loved sitting on the bow in the comfy chairs and beanbags while experiencing a cruise to the calm waters near Diamond Head. After anchoring we were able to jump off the boat and swim around enjoying the sights. Snorkel gear was available but our party of four just enjoyed floating and chatting in the majestic bay. Forrest was our captain and is an experienced free diver with loads of interesting tales about his passion for sharks - I learned a lot! Would book again!
