  • Special Notes:

    Hawaii Nautical is Hawaii's first DOLPHIN SMART activity provider, a federal NOAA recognition for proper wildlife viewing and conservation practices. Hawaii Nautical therefore follows federal NOAA guidelines that say "Do not swim with wild spinner dolphins." Instead of swimming with dolphins in the wild, see them instead in a sustainable, eco-conscious way aboard Hawaii Nautical's Ko Nai Nani catamaran.
    A portion of proceeds benefit community-based initiatives in Leeward Oahu, such as 'E ala - 'The Awakening' - an authentic Hawaiian voyaging canoe making its return to Waianae Harbor as a floating classroom to promote Hawaiian culture.

    Hawaii Nautical Wildlife Guarantee: If no dolphins (or whales) are seen during your tour, come back again one (1) more time for free on a trip of same or lesser value. Wildlife guaranty is for re-rides only, no refunds. During whale season (December 1 - March 31), re-ride guarantee is for dolphins or whales.
