Dolphin Whale Watching Tour
Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are found in shallow coves and bays during the day and feed in the deeper waters at night. Tour with us along the blue water of Oahu's leeward Waianae coast. Have your camera ready as the beauty of the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins surrounds you along the picturesque journey. Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are known for their acrobatic flips and spins. They have a reputation for being playful and friendly. Watching the dolphins swim and play in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. See them glide in pods of a few to several dozens. On our tour not only will you see perhaps the Hawaiian Spinners, but you may see the migrating humpback whales (in season December-March) and possibly even the endangered green sea turtle.
We make a stop for swimming and snorkeling. All snorkel equipment, personal floatation devices and personalized instructions is included. After viewing and snorkeling with the dolphins the tour includes searching for humpback whales (December-March only). After dolphin and whale watching, the tour will anchor off of the world famous Makaha Beach for more snorkeling over beautiful untouched live reef where marine life is abundant. We provide light snacks and refreshments.
