You will board a spacious 42 passenger catamaran boat to cruise the West Coast of Oahu searching for wild dolphins. This double-hulled catamaran features a comfortable and stable ride as you relax and take in the breathtaking views of the ocean and the mountains.
In the clear waters of West Oahu, find the wild dolphins pods swimming gracefully in small or large groups. Remembering to keep distance from the wild dolphins, you can also enjoy searching for Hawaiian green turtles, tropical island fishes and other rare wild sea creatures.
Starting October 28, 2021 regulations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act banned the 50-yard approach to Hawaiian spinner dolphins.
Therefore, if we encounter a spinner dolphins, we will keep a distance of at least 50 yards and our boat will move away from the spinner dolphins quickly.
On our tours you will experience swimming with other species of dolphins such as bottlenose and spotted dolphins.

So much fun! Overall, my husband, and I both thought it was a very worthwhile experience. Some tips:
– The shuttle option was great! Very convenient. Just be aware that the shuttle arrives a little more than an hour early so you will need to plan accordingly initially we thought that the shuttle was gonna arrive at 7:30 AM but it arrived at 6:19 AM.
– The lunch was awesome! They gave little Kahlúa pork with rice cups on the boat ride back—very nice touch. The coconut pudding was also delicious!
– You will see a few dolphins, but not very close. It was cool being able to see them in real life though. To be honest, this was not necessarily the highlight of the trip, but it was probably as optimal as it could be. You could see other boats in the same location so it really comes down to which crew you want to hang out with.
– That being said, the crew has a very laid-back vibe. They make sure that you are staying safe (I appreciate their clear communication), but their tone is very lightweight and fun! I have seen some other reviews from other companies saying that that they interacted with was a little aggressive (I could see this happening because we do need to make sure that everybody gets ready quickly and jumps into the water quickly scaring them off too quickly) but this crew did a great job of keeping everyone organized in a very fun and lightweight manner. Everyone seemed happy to be there!
-The views of the ocean are beautiful in the boat ride itself was also a huge highlight of the trip! They really gave you the opportunity to enjoy the views!
-This likely goes for every boat involving snorkeling to see dolphins, but this is not a good activity if you have severe mobility issues. You have to be able to jump off the boat and get back on the boat via a ladder. But the crew will help you get on and up the ladder if you have issues.

Julie and her crew are the best! They know how to treat their customers as well as making it safe for everyone. They’re also very organized and let you know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it.

Such an amazing trip! We swam with dolphins underneath us although it was only for about five minutes. The crew does a great job locating the dolphins but they are wild so they are not guaranteed. We also swam turtles and got to hold an octopus. Possibly the best part of the trip is the crew. Everyone was so friendly and funny.

This is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST TOUR EVER!!!!! It’s not too big and chaotic, they give you their full attention and help MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!!!! I wanted to do this tour so that my daughter could swim with the dolphins because she loves dolphins and sea turtles so much, she is 22 years old. I am 54 years old and overweight, but I wanted to share this experience with her. Once I was in the water, I was struggling a little bit because I was scared, and one of the workers, I’m going to call him Aquaman Jr. because I can’t pronounce his Hawaiian name, but he is a nice man that has long hair, a friendly smile, and a great energy about him overall. He stayed with me with the buoy, and when I had trouble keeping up with the rest of the group, he swam for me and let me hold onto the buoy and helped me so I could get to experience it. When we got back on the boat and they were going to go again, I decided I wasn’t going to go even though I had not seen a dolphin yet. My main concern was that my daughter got to see the dolphins. Although, my HERO (Aquaman Jr.) encouraged me to get in again and stayed by my side until I got to see a lot of dolphins. He also stayed with me while we watch the turtles and made a very memorable experience for me and my daughter. He even found a baby octopus. She said this was the best thing that she’s done since we got to Hawaii. And because of him who I refer to as my hero, I got to experience the dolphins and the turtles. The entire crew was wonderful even when I got a little seasick on the way back, two different people stopped to rub my back for just a minute because they were concerned about me , the tour by itself is fabulous but the crew makes it so exceptional. I highly recommend it and the bus driver who looks like the guy Miyagi son from karate kid, was also great. Our bus driver was very amazing and funny. Thanks to everybody for the experience, we will never forget it!!!!
Also, Aquaman Jr. will make a fantastic captain soon!!! If you are considering booking this event, DO IT!!!! You won’t regret it!!!
