Immerse yourself in the breathtaking marine life of West O’ahu with our dolphin watching tour. This offshore adventure offers a rare opportunity to visit with dolphins and swim with turtles, and colorful reef fish in their natural habitat. 

With transportation from Waikiki and Ko’Olina at no extra cost, inclusive lunch and snorkel gear, and an array of exhilarating ocean activities, this tour promises an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.

What to Expect

Arrive at the Waianae Small Boat Harbor where you'll board the Poseidon Catamaran. As we set sail along the Waianae coast, our crew will lead a traditional Hawaiian “Oli,” setting the tone for an authentic cultural experience.

As we locate pods of playful dolphins, you'll view the dolphins from our large deck for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with these enchanting creatures. Feel a sense of awe and connection as these graceful creatures glide through the crystal-clear waters below you, showcasing their playful nature and intelligent demeanor.

Following this magical wild dolphin encounter, we'll head to a prime snorkeling spot, where you can swim with turtles, vibrant tropical fish, and healthy coral reef. As you float above the bustling underwater ecosystem, observe the turtles' graceful movements and the kaleidoscopic array of tropical fish that dart among the corals.

After that, elevate your ocean adventure with our array of exhilarating activities right off the side of the catamaran. Find your balance and serenity on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP), gliding gracefully over the gentle ocean. For those seeking a playful escape, our oversized floating mat offers a buoyant haven for relaxation, while the thrilling water slide provides an exhilarating plunge into the refreshing embrace of the Pacific.

Back on board, savor a delicious lunch wrap with fresh pineapple while cruising the coast. Winter months offer an added treat – the chance to spot whales! As we conclude our tour, you'll leave with a heart full of memories and a deeper connection to the ocean's wonders.
