What to expect
Get ready to have a whale of a time off the western coast of Oahu. Your meeting point is the Waianae Boat Harbor or you can request a pickup from your Waikiki or Ko Olina hotel. Lifeguard certified naturalists and marine biologists will join you on a USCG vessel.
Head out into the waters in hopes of spotting marine life like dolphins, seabirds, and humpback whales, depending on the season. Because this excursion is both a wildlife viewing tour and a snorkel tour, you have double the opportunity to spot Hawaii’s marine life.
Gear is included, but food isn’t, so bring your own meal if you’d like to enjoy lunch at sea. Dive back into the water one more time in hopes of swimming with tropical fish before heading back to harbor.
