Waianae Coast Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin and Seasonal Whale Watching from Oahu

Overview

Avoid crowds on our quiet, fast, 32 foot, Coast Guard inspected vessel. We only allow 16 guests on the boat, and every seat has a great view of the animals.
The west coast of Oahu offers a unique advantage for finding a variety of marine mammals. Our lifeguard certified crew of marine biologists and naturalists with decades of experience will try to find as much as possible during your tour. Our team is honest, ethical, and genuinely eager to make the best out of your 3 hour tour.
We offer a dolphin sighting guarantee! If dolphins are not seen on your tour, we invite you to try again for free.
Snorkeling is included on all of our tours (as long as weather permits) to search for sea turtles, fish, and a variety of other marine species. During the winter months (January to March), humpback whales are seen on the Waianae Coast as well!

I took my daughter on this trip and it was awesome. We first saw a humpback mother and her calf, then saw at least three pods of dolphins, one of which hung out right by the boat. Loads of fun, very fun and knowledgeable crew. They were also very patient with my daughter who asks a ton of questions and another little girl who was a bit scared of swimming, but she ended up having lots of fun.

We did the early morning (7:30ish) trip and it was great. Both Captain Jenna and marine biologist Ashely were great, as was the trip in general. We snorkeled twice, at two different reefs, swimming alongside plenty of fish, turtles and interesting reef life. We saw spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and humpback whales. Also the view of the Leeward coastline and Waianae Mountains were stunning. Jenna and Ashley were kind enough to ask us what we were hoping to see, and they made sure that we saw it. Both were very nice, easy going, informed and capable. I highly recommend the trip.

Whales, dolphins and turtles, was the trifecta. The check in process was very organized and efficient. Even had our lunch bags ready with a little freezer pack in the bottom. We left on time and within 5-10 minutes saw our first whale and calf. Then off to see and snorkel with the dolphins four separate times. The Captain Jenna and first mate Morgan we super knowledgeable and helpful. Finished off with a snorkel in shallower waters to see the many different colourful fish and of course turtles. The boat was amazing, sitting on the edge with feet in the water. Super smooth all around and highly recommend.
