\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We provide our guests with reef-safe, non-chemical sunscreen that adheres to local guidelines to protect our waters. Guests are welcome to bring their own as well, so long as it also adheres to local guidelines. We provide plenty of towels for all of our guests.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We always recommend that our guests are comfortable in the water if they intend to snorkel. While we do provide flotation equipment such as float belts, pool noodles, and boogie boards, there is no area for guests to stand once they are in the water.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ali’i Class Yachts are certified for 110 passengers, but for the sake of space we never fill to full capacity. Our morning\/afternoon snorkels and whale watches max out at around 60 guests. For our adults-only Royal Sunset Sail, we only take a maximum of 40 passengers to ensure plenty of room while dining.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

Should you decide to not take advantage of our complimentary transportation, there is plenty of parking available at Ma\u2019alaea Harbor. Ali’i Nui is located on the outside pier, about half-way down. Guests are welcome to park on the pier near the boat. Please be aware this is paid parking ($1.06\/hour) and can be reserved in advance using the ParkWhiz app or using the QR signs posted throughout the harbor.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

We carry a wide variety of prescription snorkel masks for guests that need corrective lenses.<\/p>

We can provide prescriptions from -1.5 to -6.0 in 0.5 increments. Inform a reservationist or crew member and we will do our best to accommodate your needs!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

In order to access Ali’i Nui, guests will need to walk down a pier and step across a gap onto the dock. A crew member will be there to assist with the large step. Additionally, there are 2-4 steps down into the cabin and to the restrooms. We cannot accommodate walkers or wheelchairs onboard the vessel.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

Ali’i Nui has a pair of descending staircases with handrails that lower right into the water! Guests will be able to walk down the stairs and swim out. Always remember to put your fins on once you\u2019re at the bottom of the stairs and not while trying to walk. For our more adventurous guests, feel free to jump off the side of the deck and show us your splash skills.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
