Itinerary
Join Dolphins and You for a dolphin watching and snorkeling cruise along the west coast of Oahu. The tour departs from Waianae Boat Harbor and heads offshore to look for wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins in their natural habitat.

The crew provides snorkel gear, including masks, fins, and safety jackets, and will assist guests during the water activities. There is also time to enjoy the boat and try several activities. Depending on ocean and weather conditions, guests can use the 20-foot water slide, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards, or stay on board and enjoy the views of Oahu's west coast.
