Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Experience

Oahu's Most Action-Packed Ocean Adventure

There's nothing quite like the moment a pod of wild spinner dolphins appears alongside the bow of your boat — leaping, spinning, and racing through the cobalt-blue waters of Oahu's west coast. Our Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Experience is built around that moment, and so much more.

Departing from Waianae Boat Harbor aboard the Ariya I, this 3-hour expedition takes you to waters the tour buses never see. The untouched coastline of West Oahu is home to Hawaiian spinner dolphins that rest in the calm bays before heading offshore to feed at night. We approach all marine life respectfully and at a safe distance, following eco-conscious guidelines at all times.

After the dolphin watch, gear up for a snorkel session in pristine Pacific waters teeming with Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical reef fish. Back on board, try the 20-foot water slide, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, enjoy a complimentary lunch, and finish with a live Hula performance and your very own dolphin tattoo — a tour exclusive.
