This tour travels along the scenic west coast, where you have the opportunity to passively observe spinner dolphins, Hawaiian sea turtles, and tropical fish in the water.
Dolphin Excursions specializes in safely leading small groups on dolphin and whale watching excursions in Oahu. We take you on an ocean safari aboard our state-of-the-art 34-foot rigid inflatable boat with our lifeguard certified crew. We also provide round-trip transportation to and from Waikiki and Ko Olina hotels.
The west coast of Oahu is well known for having the calmest and clearest waters around the island. It’s perfect for snorkeling with turtles and home to both spinner dolphins and those mighty winter visitors — humpback whales.
Unlike most dolphin cruises or other Hawaii tours, our snorkel excursions are operated by seasoned naturalists and marine biologists. We search for multiple species of wild dolphins and practice responsible wildlife viewing. Swimming with dolphins in Oahu is an event that is certain to make your day, if not your entire vacation!
This crew and operation is top notch!!! We saw breaching whales, dolphin pods, sea turtles, and reef fish when snorkeling. You can see different sea life at different times of the year - whale season from November to March is fantastic!!! The crew made sure people were safe and got to see as much as possible. They were knowledgeable and informative and made the trip FUN with their cute little jokes!!!
– staceyjk | TripAdvisorThe guides gave us plenty of instruction and assistance on and off the boat. That had a lot to tell us about Hawaii and the local Flora/fauna. They were super helpful with all the equipment and made sure to tell us where to watch and when. On our trip we got to see a humpback whale, sea turtles, loads of fish, and a very impressive amount of dolphins. Would absolutely attend again.
– Coastal61808551558 | TripAdvisorWe were a group of 8 and everyone had a great time! We had teenage grandchildren with us who had never been to Hawaii and they were so impressed. I am not a water person and did not plan to get in the water. I felt so comfortable that I decided to give it a try. So I got in the ocean for the first time in about 20 years! I am so glad I did as Veronica made sure I was OK and comfortable and kept an eye on me. Thank you Veronica! I would definitely go out with them again. We also all enjoyed our lunch much at Spinners!
– kathyc716 | TripAdvisorThe staff at Dolphin Excursions Snorkel Adventure is TOP-NOTCH. Super friendly and helpful - you really feel their concern to make sure you have the best experience possible. They will do everything possible to make sure you get to snorkel right by dolphins. It was such an incredible experience. If you only do one excursion in Oahu DO THIS ONE! Also, I HIGHLY recommend buying the photo package. The photo quality is incredible and I left with over 30+ photos of me and my friends snorkeling.
