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