What to Expect
West Oahu is known for its beaches, surfing, and tropical wildlife. Set sail on West Oahu coast’s newest sailing catamaran to view dolphins, turtles, and other marine life including whales in-season (December through April).
The tour will sail along the coast to anchor at a calm reef. After the crew gives the go-ahead, guests can jump into the water to snorkel around the colourful reef and spot tropical fish. A lifeguard-certified crew will be on deck to help people into the water. You can bring or buy your own snorkel gear or use the sanitized re-usable sets available by the tour. Fins and snorkel vests are provided. The crew can provide in-water assistance if necessary.
West Oahu snorkel reefs are each teeming with tropical reef fish, exotic ocean wildlife, and a variety of rays. After 2 hours in the water, you'll have time to dry off and enjoy lunch. This snorkel tour includes individual packed sandwich lunch and unlimited non-alcohol drinks; you get two free bar beverages.
The tour continues with dolphin spotting in the wild. Your friendly and knowledgeable crew will be on the lookout for a viewing encounter with playful spinner dolphins and the majestic, seasonal humpback whales (December thru April). This snorkel tour guarantees dolphin spotting; if you don't see marine wildlife, come back again one more time for free! (Re-rides only, no refunds. A re-ride is on a trip of equal or lesser value).
Please note this is a dolphin-spotting tour only. This is NOT a swim-with-dolphins tour..
