Private vs. Semi-Private (per person) Tours: Finding Your Perfect Fit
At Lokahi Scuba, we believe in making every dive as unique and memorable as the island of Oahu itself. Whether you’re seeking an exclusive adventure or a more budget-friendly option, we offer two charter styles designed to deliver the same exceptional Lokahi touch: private and semi-private tours.
The Key Differences
Private Charters: With a private charter, the boat is yours—just you, your group, and our crew. This means total exclusivity, unmatched privacy, and the freedom to tailor every aspect of your dive experience. Private charters start at a flat rate of $850, perfect for families, couples, or small groups seeking a bespoke adventure.
Semi-Private Charters: For those looking to share the aloha spirit (and the boat!) with another dive party, semi-private charters are a fantastic option. While you’ll share the vessel, your group will still enjoy its own dedicated Lokahi dive guide, ensuring a personalized experience underwater. Semi-private tours are charged per person at $165—an ideal choice for solo adventurers, students, or smaller groups keeping an eye on their budget.
The Lokahi Difference
No matter which charter style you choose, the Lokahi promise stays the same. Both private and semi-private tours include:
Private dive guides exclusively for your group
Small group sizes for a more intimate, safe, and engaging experience
Flexible booking tailored to your schedule
Top-of-the-line gear, included with every dive
While we love hosting private charters, we understand that Hawaii’s paradise can come with a hefty price tag. That’s why we created our semi-private options—to offer the same premier dive experience for those seeking a more cost-conscious way to explore Oahu’s underwater wonders.
Whether you dive in luxury with a private boat or join the camaraderie of a semi-private adventure, Lokahi Scuba is here to make every dive unforgettable. Your ocean journey starts with us—book your adventure today!
