Year-round, daily, Oahu dolphin excursions may include dolphin swim, green sea turtle encounters - reef snorkeling tours and whale watching

On this premium, exclusive cruise you will experience dolphins in depth, not in tanks - but as nature intended them to be, wild and free. Gain first-hand knowledge about dolphin behavior, their ocean environment, companions, and predators, and pressing conservation issues.

Hawaiian spinner dolphins feed at night, so you will be essentially entering (or peacefully watching from nearby) their nearshore "bedroom." The most acrobatic of all dolphins, the spinners may be be courting, communicating, resting, socializing, nursing or teaching their young.

A portion of your tour costs go to supporting Oahu's Wild Dolphin Foundation's conservation activities. Observations at this time help this foundation to learn about and protect these dolphins and their habitats - you will discover first hand what makes this bond something that has captivated the human heart since man found the ocean.

Dolphin encounters may include:
• Viewing of Spinner, Bottlenose, Rough-toothed or Spotted Dolphins
• Swimming with dolphins (on the dolphin's terms)
• Whale watching
• Snorkeling with green sea turtles and tropical reef fish

Hawaii's dolphins are not only entrancing and fun to watch, they are part of a complex and fragile ecosystem, including the culture of Hawaii.

The crew members have been researching, living, and playing with these dolphins for over 10 years. To guarantee interaction may compromise their resting or socializing periods. If all goes as planned, you will have the option of having a truly unique experience observing the pods behavior in the wild. By working together, you insure that all dolphins will be here to delight us for generations to come.

Please note: Although this cruise has a sighting rate of 90-95% there is no guarantee of interaction with wild dolphins nor ideal weather conditions.
