Oahu's Most Action Packed Day on the Water

Few travel moments compare to the second a pod of wild spinner dolphins rises beside the bow, twisting, leaping, and surfing the deep blue swells off Oahu's west side. Our Dolphin Watch and Snorkel experience is built around that thrill, and the fun keeps rolling from there.

Your day starts with a free shuttle from your Waikiki hotel. From there you board the Ariya I at Waianae Boat Harbor and set out on a three hour cruise to a stretch of coast most visitors never reach. These calm west shore bays are where Hawaiian spinner dolphins rest through the day before heading to deeper water to hunt at night. We always keep a respectful, legal distance and follow eco friendly viewing practices around every animal we meet.

Once the dolphin watch wraps up, you will gear up for a snorkel stop in clear Pacific water alive with Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical reef fish. Back aboard, race down the 20 foot water slide, paddle a kayak, balance on a stand up paddleboard, dig into a complimentary lunch, and finish with a live hula performance plus your very own dolphin tattoo, a fun tour exclusive.
