You will board a spacious 42 passenger catamaran boat to cruise the West Coast of Oahu searching for wild dolphins. This double-hulled catamaran features a comfortable and stable ride as you relax and take in the breathtaking views of the ocean and the mountains.
In the clear waters of West Oahu, find the wild dolphins pods swimming gracefully in small or large groups. Remembering to keep distance from the wild dolphins, you can also enjoy searching for Hawaiian green turtles, tropical island fishes and other rare wild sea creatures.

Starting October 28, 2021 regulations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act banned the 50-yard approach to Hawaiian spinner dolphins.
Therefore, if we encounter a spinner dolphins, we will keep a distance of at least 50 yards and our boat will move away from the spinner dolphins quickly.
On our tours you will experience swimming with other species of dolphins such as bottlenose and spotted dolphins.

Frank our driver was there early and was very respectful and funny. The drive from the hotel took an hour. Once we were on the water you get a great view of the west side of Oahu. We saw a lot of dolphins on the water and in the water. The crew had chips and drinks and on the way back to the dock they gave us this delicious pork, sweet potatoes, cabbage and rice. Mahalo Team

The entire experience was fantastic—one of the best in my life! The pickup from our hotel was smooth, and the guides were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We saw dolphins both onboard and underwater. If you dive deep, you can swim alongside them. Afterward, we had nearly an hour to see the turtles, who were very friendly. Just be sure to respect them and give them some space. This was my solo trip and my first time snorkeling. As a non-swimmer, I felt very safe thanks to the supportive crew. Dave captured all these wonderful moments with high-quality photos. Overall, I couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you for such a phenomenal experience!

This dolphin tour was totally worth the money. We were able to jump in with smaller whales and dolphins. Snorkeling the reef was my favorite where we were able to see many fish, large sea turtles and an octopus! But the boat ride and scenery alone was worth it as well. This is something I will book again when I return.

I cannot recommend this experience enough! It was AMAZING! The crew was awesome. We had so much fun! We saw dolphins and swam with pilot whales, sea turtles, and tropical fish. This was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation! If you're thinking about this tour, you should book it. You won't regret it!

So much fun! Overall, my husband, and I both thought it was a very worthwhile experience. Some tips:
– The shuttle option was great! Very convenient. Just be aware that the shuttle arrives a little more than an hour early so you will need to plan accordingly initially we thought that the shuttle was gonna arrive at 7:30 AM but it arrived at 6:19 AM.
– The lunch was awesome! They gave little Kahlúa pork with rice cups on the boat ride back—very nice touch. The coconut pudding was also delicious!
– You will see a few dolphins, but not very close. It was cool being able to see them in real life though. To be honest, this was not necessarily the highlight of the trip, but it was probably as optimal as it could be. You could see other boats in the same location so it really comes down to which crew you want to hang out with.
– That being said, the crew has a very laid-back vibe. They make sure that you are staying safe (I appreciate their clear communication), but their tone is very lightweight and fun! I have seen some other reviews from other companies saying that that they interacted with was a little aggressive (I could see this happening because we do need to make sure that everybody gets ready quickly and jumps into the water quickly scaring them off too quickly) but this crew did a great job of keeping everyone organized in a very fun and lightweight manner. Everyone seemed happy to be there!
-The views of the ocean are beautiful in the boat ride itself was also a huge highlight of the trip! They really gave you the opportunity to enjoy the views!
-This likely goes for every boat involving snorkeling to see dolphins, but this is not a good activity if you have severe mobility issues. You have to be able to jump off the boat and get back on the boat via a ladder. But the crew will help you get on and up the ladder if you have issues.

Julie and her crew are the best! They know how to treat their customers as well as making it safe for everyone. They’re also very organized and let you know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it.

The capt and crew was very fun and accommodating of my mobility issues, and assisted my swim so I could see the dolphins. We had a wonderful time.
