If you've ever wanted to watch dolphins in the open ocean, here's your chance! Oahu's scenic west shore is the best place on the island to see spinner dolphins in their natural habitat. Watch the spinner dolphins as they leap out of the water and amaze you with their playful acrobatics. The spinner dolphins got this name from the way they jump out of the water and spin in the air. Besides dolphins, this area is also teeming with a variety of colorful tropical fish and green sea turtles. Many cruises also include snorkeling. The water here is so clear that you'll enjoy excellent visibility – you'll be able to see all the way to the coral heads on the bottom and find yourself surrounded by colorful tropical fish.You might also spot the occasional green sea turtle.
