Specialties
Discover the Magic! Swim with wild dolphins, year-round whale watching, and snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish over Oahu's ancient coral reefs. Near the Ko Olina and Disney Aulani resorts, tours are founded and led by wildlife biologists. Six passenger (we mix and match) cruises are intimate and sensitive to both the needs of the guests and the wildlife encountered. Half day cruises offer amazing insight into the life's of ocean inhabitants; locations visited are based not only on their abundance of wildlife, but on their ecological, cultural and/or historical significance. A portion of all proceeds of our wildlife cruises and snorkeling excursions are contributed to the Wild Dolphin Foundation for conservation efforts. Connect with your
