Dolphin / Whale Watch Tour
Be amazed as the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins surrounds as you enjoy a scenic journey along the crystal blue water of Oahu's leeward Waianae coast. Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins are found in shallow coves and bays during the day and feed in the deeper waters at night. Watching the dolphins play and swim in their natural habitat is a memorable experience. These dolphins have a reputation for being playful and friendly. They are known for their acrobatic flips and spins. Watch them glide in sometimes pods of a few to several dozens. On our tour you may also see the migrating humpback whales (December - March only) and maybe even the endangered green sea turtle.
Wear your swimsuit because we make a stop to go swimming and snorkeling. All personal floatation devices, snorkeling equipment, and snorkeling instructions are provided. After viewing and snorkeling with the dolphins, the tour searches for humpback whales (seasonal only). Next, the tour will anchor off of the famous Makaha Beach for more snorkeling over beautiful untouched live reef with abundant marine life. Includes light refreshments and snacks.
