Swim with Dolphins in the West Coast line of Oahu

Overview
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.

Enjoyable experience. Picked up and dropped off from hotel in Waikiki Beach. Catamaran was small and crowded but crew very friendly and helpful! Felt safe and appreciated having them in water to guide and support snorkeling. We saw dolphins, sea turtle , a small octopus, and lots of tropical fish. Lunch was tasty. Unfortunately photographer was sick and didn’t work this day so didn’t get any pics in water.

I joined the dolphin swimming tour with Indigo Ocean Hawaii, and unfortunately, it was one of the most uncomfortable and upsetting experiences I’ve had while traveling. One of the crew members repeatedly humiliated female guests with inappropriate, degrading comments — all under the excuse of ā€œjust joking.ā€ It wasn’t light teasing — it was targeted, uncomfortable, and made the entire experience feel hostile and disrespectful. Even more disturbing, he physically pushed me and my friend underwater and held us there for several seconds. This was not playful; it was frightening and completely unacceptable. What’s worse is that no one else on the crew stepped in to stop or correct his behavior. There was a clear lack of accountability and concern for guest safety and comfort. I do not recommend this tour, especially for women, unless the company takes serious action to address the crew’s behavior and create a respectful and safe environment for all guests.

Unbelievably gorgeous scenery, plentiful, playful dolphins jumping and swimming and twirling through the air! Whole crew was fantastic, and Dave captured photos throughout the journey so that we could stash our phones and be fully immersed in the experience. Highly recommend!
