Itinerary

Where comfort meets discovery—and thrill is always just below the surface.

Spacious power catamaran, with shaded seating, sunny decks, and multiple viewing areas—from the bow to the elevated observation deck - private onboard restroom and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.

Every trip unfolds based on real-time ocean conditions and wildlife behavior. Our experienced naturalists guide the experience, sharing insights as we encounter dolphins, whales (year-round), sea turtles, seabirds, and the dramatic coastline of Oʻahu’s west side.

When conditions are calm and appropriate, guests have the opportunity to snorkel in clear tropical waters. During winter months, Hawaiʻi’s famous swells can occasionally make snorkeling unsafe; in those cases, the focus shifts to extended wildlife viewing, coastal exploration, and learning from onboard.

Snorkeling is always optional. Certified guides are available to assist first-timers and offer flotation gear, while many guests choose to remain onboard and enjoy the experience from the deck. The pace is relaxed, flexible, and shaped by nature—creating a thoughtful, uncrowded way to experience the wild side of Hawai'i.
