Private Biologist-Led Sea'fari (up to 10 passengers)

Overview
Guided by those who know it best., weaving history, science, and tradition. Dolphins that have danced in these waters for generations, humpback whales navigating ancient migrations, seabirds carried by winds that once guided Polynesian wayfinders.

Beneath the surface, the connection between human and ocean deepens. A honu (green sea turtle) drifts past, ancient and unhurried, a silent guardian of these reefs, where guests participate in Citizen Science, ensuring that every journey leaves a positive imprint, aligning discovery with stewardship.

On the 34-foot power catamaran, the experience is as refined as it is immersive. Under the shade of the awning, the journey is unhurried, the moments unfiltered—whether capturing an Insta-worthy photograph as dolphins ride the bow or simply breathing in the salty breeze, this woman owned company delivers Hawai‘i as it was meant to be experienced. A place where luxury is defined not by opulence, but by the richness of the world it reveals.

Our guide Connor and Captain AJ were so knowledgeable and really made the trip feel private and fun. Then of course the ocean was gorgeous and we got to see so much beautiful wildlife - a huge pod of dolphins that came right up to the boat, sea turtles, and we were super lucky and 3 humpback whales also hung out near our boat for part of the tour. Snorkeling the reef was perfect, lots of fish and healthy coral and sea urchins, definitely worth the trip up from Honolulu. This excursion was the highlight of our vacation for sure.

This was my 3rd time out with Wild Side. I will go again and again with this company! Captain Liah and crew member, Conner were the best! Professional, yet so friendly and fun; safety was a priority from the crew. That was important to me. 🩵 Their knowledge to answer questions about the wildlife was very impressive. 💯 This trip was a amazing! Pilot and Humpback Whales, Rough Tooth and Spotted Dolphins were just a thrill to see! The lunch was delicious. Loved every minute of this tour ❤️

Bethany greeted us promptly and provided excellent information on the excursion and what to expect with wild life sitings in the ocean. Leah, our captain, provided a comfortable ride and found the dolphins and whales during our adventure. We saw many dolphins and had the opportunity to snorkel in a large school of dolphins.
