The Experience
What your day looks like
Embark on a captivating two-hour journey along Oahu's picturesque south shore. Behold the breathtaking Ko'olau Mountains, the glistening skylines of Honolulu, the magnificent Waikiki hotels, and the iconic Diamond Head.

As we venture further from the coastline, keep your eyes peeled for spinner dolphins gracefully swimming in front of Makani's sleek catamaran hulls. And during the winter months, be on the lookout for majestic humpback whales breaching and spouting as they nurture their young in the warm waters of Hawaii. An Ocean Stewardship Fee is required per person upon booking (minus infants)
