Some beautiful spots near Makapuu, but a little dangerous.
H bay your best bet, I'm afraid.
Sharks cove if you are up for the drive would be very nice on the weekdays, the weekends are a zoo now. (North Shore)
(eat at Lucy's!)
(or Buzz'es)
I loove Kailua
Try Lani Kai for snorkeling, you can maybe see Tigers.

Anyplace on Oahu that is good is likely to be crowded on the weekends. However, I would recommend Sharks Cove, FireHouse or Three Tables on the North Shore. Bigger beach at Three Tables. All are just beyond Waimea Bay in area referred to as Pupukea. The area is also a marine sanctuary.

scubadrew got some video footage of dolphins at Waimea Bay (while snorkeling). You might get lucky there.
Otherwise-- NS like meiling and catherine said.

The three places I listed are better on the week days than the weekends. All are better, people-wise on any day than Haunama Bay!
R the north shore sites ok for a beginner?? I will be with somebody who has never snorkelled before.....maybe best if I stick a lifejacket on her?! : )
We will be on Oahu for 10 days, so I'll definitely try to get out snorkelling during the week rather then on the weekend.
Catherine96821 - my boss already recommended Buzz's to me! This place must be good....mmmmmm! Any other recommendations of things to do / places to go in Kailua?

When will you be here? The North Shore is pretty flat in the summer, but can have monster surf in the late fall or winter. In the summer, it is generally fine for beginners, assuming they can swim. Yes, they are reachable by shore
