About this activity

Dolphins and You has been taking guests out on the waters of Oahu for more than 35 years. The experience combines dolphin watching, snorkeling, lunch, and several activities on the water in one West Oahu cruise.

The day starts with a search for wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins from the boat. After dolphin watching, guests can snorkel in the ocean and look for Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical fish.

Back on the boat, there is plenty of time to enjoy the water or relax on deck. Try the 20-foot water slide, paddle a kayak, or use a stand-up paddleboard.

Lunch is included, and the crew also performs hula during the return trip to the harbor. Waikiki hotel transportation is available for select locations, making it possible to enjoy the West Oahu experience without arranging your own transportation

With more than 720,000 guests served, Dolphins and You is an established Oahu ocean tour operator offering this experience for travelers looking for a combination of wildlife and activity
