Overview

This 4-hour boat tour departs from Oahu’s west coast aboard a 42-passenger catamaran designed for a stable and comfortable ride. Guests travel along the coastline while viewing ocean and mountain scenery. The tour focuses on spotting wild dolphins swimming in their natural surroundings. The boat maintains a respectful distance from the dolphins following the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Depending on conditions, participants may have the chance to swim near bottlenose or spotted dolphins. Other marine life such as Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical fish may also be seen. Snorkeling equipment is provided for use during the tour. The tour includes bottled water, snacks, and lunch. Pick-up and drop-off service is available from designated hotels. Wildlife sightings depend on natural behavior and cannot be guaranteed. Travel time between Waikiki and the harbor is about one hour each way, subject to traffic. Weather or wildlife conditions can affect the return time. Regulations require keeping a 50-yard distance from Hawaiian spinner dolphins, and if encountered, the boat moves away promptly. Participants should bring their own snorkel gear if preferred and may bring their own food and non-alcoholic drinks except bananas, which are prohibited on board due to local superstition. During busy seasons, tour times may be adjusted to accommodate more guests, with changes communicated by email. The boat is not private and sunscreen, towels, and hats are not provided.
