"This was the best tour I have ever purchased in all my travels (Europe 2x, Mexico 2x, and Hawaii 2x). It was so much fun. The crew of the ship were so helpful, fun and entertaining. Swimming in the ocean, using the slide, seeing the turtles, octopus, and dolphins was amazing. I am not kidding when I say that my wife and I would do this exact tour again. It's been three days and we still can not stop talking about it. "

E'Ho Mai Ceremony
We will begin our boat ride by reciting a Hawaiian chant called, “E’ho mai“. It is a prayer to the gods of the sea for a safe trip with plentiful dolphins.

Watch Dolphins in the Wild!
We will cruise the West Side in search of dolphins. As the name implies, Spinner Dolphins are known for their acrobatic spinning skills and long snouts.
The time we spend watching the dolphins varies with many factors, but usually is around 15-30 minutes. The dolphins often will “bow-ride” and surf along with the boat afterwards, too! This dolphin encounter will be an experience you will never forget!
"We saw spinner dolphins within 10 minutes of departing the dock. We saw several pods of dolphins many times. It was really cool that Captain Danni would stop the normal for everybody to look and take pics. They also told us little fun facts along the way."
Prepare to snorkel
It’s time to put on our snorkel gear! Our complimentary mask, and life jacket will make your experience in the water fun and safe.
For those who would like a wet suit, they are available to rent on the bus.
"100% recommended! Everything was perfect! I am not a good swimmer and was a bit afraid of the water but they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe."

Here you will snorkel with tropical fish, sea turtles, manta rays, and you might even see whales in the winter!
"Absolutely loved this tour! We got to see plenty of dolphins, as well as a seal, a few turtles, and a whole lot of fish."
Ocean Activities
In addition to snorkeling, you can ride our kayak or cruise on a stand-up paddle board.
We have a wide variety of water activities for you to enjoy, or just sit back on the boat and relax in the sun!
"Not only do you get to go snorkeling but the crew provides other fun activities like paddle boarding, kayaks and a really fun slide that goes straight into the ocean. This is by far my favorite activity I’ve done so far since being here in Hawaii!"
