The Experience

What your day looks like

We begin as our boat departs from Waianae Boat Harbor and travels along the scenic west coast in search of different species of dolphins. Take some of the most incredible photographs of your vacation as we view spectacular wildlife from our low-lying vessel. Dip in a GoPro for that epic underwater footage! Few people have the opportunity to see marine mammals' spectacular displays in person. Passively observing dolphins while in the wild is what we do best; safe, legal, and with plenty of know-how. We follow guidelines that are dictated by Federal Law protecting these animals. We will make sure you observe these animals under an eco-friendly leadership giving you a safe open ocean safari you will remember. We will also snorkel at sites with Hawaiian Sea Turtles and tropical fish. During the winter months, we may even get to see a Humpback Whale or two or several. Excursions are led by seasoned island naturalists and marine biologists with years of experience on the Waianae Coast.
