You'll dive into the island's clear, warm waters to snorkel alongside vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish, followed by a freshly prepared hot Hawaiian buffet and an open bar featuring beer, wine, and tropical cocktails.
Our captain and crew provide a top-tier wildlife excursion, navigating the coast's premier marine environments to give you unmatched opportunities to witness pods of resident dolphins, observe resident sea turtles gliding through the shallows, and spot majestic humpback whales breaching during the winter migration months.

Head north along the pristine western coast of Oahu to look for dolphins, whales (when in season), flying fish, green sea turtles and more. When your captain locates a pod of dolphins or whales, your boat stops to allow you to get an excellent view of the mighty mammals from the spacious deck. Afterward, your captain steers the boat into a special spot for snorkeling. Put on the provided gear and receive detailed safety and snorkeling instruction. Then hop in the water to marvel at colorful corals and a multitude of fish. Enjoy an hour of snorkeling in the clear tropical waters, with guides available to assist you with fish identification. Back on the boat, you can rinse off in one of the boat’s six warm, freshwater showers. Two changing rooms and restrooms are also available.
