Go sailing, snorkeling and dolphin-watching on a fun-filled morning cruise along the Leeward Coast! Cruise along the southwestern coast of Oahu and admire the beautiful shoreline and turquoise waters. This five-hour adventure, combining a mix of sightseeing and water activity, is perfect for the whole family! Breakfast and lunch are provided.
Your Oahu sailing adventure begins at the Waianae Harbor, where you will board a sleek catamaran and set sail along the Leeward Coast. See the playful dolphins jump, spin and splash in the water, and keep your eyes peeled for turtles and other marine life. During whale season (November through April), you might even spot a humpback! Enjoy a delicious continental breakfast as you sit back, relax and admire the idyllic scenery.
Next, your captain will stop at a calm snorkeling spot. If you’re a beginner, you’ll easily learn how to use the snorkeling equipment, how to breathe through the snorkel and what safety measures to remember. The use of mask and fins is included, and you’ll receive a snorkel to borrow. Jump into the water with your professionally trained guide, and spend 30 to 45 minutes discovering the magical underwater world of Hawaiian marine life. You will see everything from brightly colored coral to schools of tropical fish.
After working up an appetite from snorkeling, sail back to Waianae Harbor as you feast on a buffet lunch, including hot dishes, salads, a gourmet sandwich bar, side dishes and desserts. Enjoy unlimited nonalcoholic drinks and two free alcoholic beverages (for those 21 and up).
Dolphin sightings are guaranteed on this Oahu cruise! In the rare event you do not see dolphins, you will be offered a sunset cocktail cruise or snorkeling adventure for free!
This tour operator offers a whale or dolphin sighting guarantee December through April!
We had beautiful weather, a very knowledgeable and entertaining crew, saw dolphins and a green sea turtle. Couldn't ask for anything more!

This trip was so fun! The crew was laid back and informative. We saw dolphins, turtles, fish of all kinds. The food was great and the rum drinks with nutmeg were to die for!!!

Brilliant half day trip the boat, crew and lunch were excellent. Saw small pods of dolphins and swam with a large variety of fish and a couple of turtles. Would definitely use this boat company again for future trips in Hawaii.

Due to the weather winds we couldn't go north to their normal location but they were still able to get us over a reef that had lots of fish. This was a first time snorkel for my 65 year old mother whom was traveling with me and the crew took time to help her to make sure she felt comfortable with being in the water. Let her sit on steps and put face into water to see things as the undertow was too strong for her to stay near the boat. The crew was great and very friendly! Try the captains special drink but ask for less nutmeg.

We loved this tour! The staff was professional and fun. We never snorkeled before this trip. The staff was very helpful in giving instructions and making you feel safe. Great time!!

Beautiful catamaran, friendly crew, smooth transit, lovely lunch, Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins performed, and great snorkelling. What more could we want!
Review by: Susan J M, July 2015
Everything about this tour was fantastic, from the pick up in Waikiki to the onboard service of all the staff. They were more that happened to share their knowledge and experience of the wildlife throughout the trip. Food was amazing, staff were fun and scenery spectacular.

The tour was great. Got to see Dolphins and coral fish. Even got to hold a sea urchin (via one of the boats employees). Crew friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient. only complaint, some signage at Harbor to let you know (1) that you are on right place and (2) where to line up.

Everything was amazing service was perfect
Review by: Kimberly S, May 2015
Didn't get to see any dolphins. Drove around for about an hour or so looking for some, by that time the sun had disappeared which made it harder to see when snorkeling. Would try it again though.
Review by: Elizabeth H, May 2015
Not to bad, crew nice, boat nice
Review by: Tina D, May 2015
For what we paid the boat didn't actually go very far out from the starting point and hardly any sea life when snorkeling. Got to see lots of do Dolphins.the food provided was average
Review by: nadine b, May 2015
Four words: not as described. Staff was attentive, informative and fabulous, but the trip was only 3-hours not 5-hours which is what I paid for. My idea of snorkeling is not in 40 feet of water staring at the bottom, it is being amongst the rocks and coral and sea life. This was disappointing. The dock the trip leaves from is not in the nicest area and where we had to sit to wait to board was in the same spot a large dumpster that was piled at least four feet above the top with smelly trash. We went to three different buildings at the pier before we found our tour, it wasn't well marked. If I was truly rating this honestly I would give it one star based on the things I have mentioned, but again, the staff was outstanding, the food was good, they were good hosts and nice people. I just have a problem when I believe something is not as described as was the case here.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Ken K, April 2015
We did not see any dolphins like we were promised, I love dolphins but we didn't see them and were not asked if we saw them and not given any vocher either, very disappointed in this. This was our first time snorkeling too, I said water was way too cold and the lady instructor gave me a dirty look, well I tried it at least and couldn't do it---
Review by: Brandon W, April 2015
Had an amazing trip. Was able to see whales, dolphins, etc. The crew was fantastic and honestly I can't imagine a better thing to do than this. Awesome time. Thanks guys and gals!!
Review by: Mitzi G, March 2015
This was amazing the crew was even better. They informed us of safety procedures and made sure everyone was listening.
Review by: Craig L, February 2015
1 1/2 hour from Waikiki. Great service, poor weather , minimal fish. Most clients nauseated
Review by: Bridget R, February 2015
Staff were lovely and very knowledgable, boat was in great condition and the tour was fantastic. I booked myself into a second trip with the company for the following day as turtles werent in the area!
Review by: Jonathan S, February 2015
A must do! Seals, dolphins, whales, and sea turtle. Snorkeling was fun in 30 feet of water you can easily see the bottom. Crew was fun and professional! Highly recommended!
Review by: Sandra Renee M, February 2015
This was a great experience, and the staff was wonderful!! We saw whales, dolphins, seat turtles and so many fish! Do this for sure.
Review by: joy, February 2015
I had a great time! the crew was so helpful, and patient! The only thing I was sad about, was that the dolphins swam off before I got into the water! Was a wonderful trip, would do it again!!!
Review by: Janie R, February 2015
Captain (Mosh) and crew members were fabulous. Water was choppy and no dolphins or whales seen on this trip so was invited back (comp ticket) for another try on Friday, January 2nd. Even bigger wells but wildlife galore, including sea turtles, breaching whales and spinner dolphins. The rainbow over the harbor was an added bonus. As a former Safety and Risk Manager, I really appreciated the focus on safety both for the passengers and wildlife. This was the highlight of my 2 week stay on Oahu. Thank you!

We didn't get a chance to snorkel because of the strong waves.
Review by: Laura P, December 2014
Total bucket list experience! We saw humpbacks and dolphins and had a wonderful time snorkeling. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Review by: Delana W, December 2014
Boat ride and crew were very good. Not very impressed about the snorkel site not much coral but did see turtles and a few tropical fish.
Review by: Nicole G, December 2014
Excellent!!! All the crew were very knowledgable and friendly making this very enjoyable. We even had a whale swim under our boat.
Review by: Bonnie G V, December 2014
This was great! The spinner dolphins are super cute and we saw a very large pod of them. The snorkeling was good. A guide is in the water with you point out all the best things. He brought up a octopus that you could touch if you wanted to. He took my daughter's underwater camera down and got great pictures for her. We saw several turtles as well.

Review by: Carmella A, October 2014
Beautiful boat, nice food, great and friendly staff, but Way too short for the money involved and_br/_
being billed as a half day excursion. Less than 2 1/2 hours long. Very disappointing. We could have_br/_
just sailed around. Dolphins were wonderful. Snorkeling, which I know they can't control, was not even mediocre. Though they said we had the best snorkeling spot of the island. Saw a couple of small fish. One of the crew did pull out an octopus, which was nice. Cost did not equal value, but was a nice experience on a very clean boat, with wonderful crew.
Review by: Dana D, October 2014
Talk about a fun and exciting crew. This snorkel experience was awesome. We saw bottom nose and spinner dolphins. We even snorkeled with a sea turtle. The drive out wasn't a short one from our hotel but the expierence was well worth it. Recommend it for a nice scenic view and family fun.
Review by: starrfysh84, September 2014
Staff was fantastic! Very informative. Beautiful Catamaran! Hospitality was amazing and the food was superb!!! Would book this excursion again. Always making sure the guests were happy and served with a smile.I didn't have a child with me but those that did were given the same hospitality and the staff swam with the kids to make sure they got the same experience.
Review by: Paul S, August 2014
This tour was awesome, the crew were great and the boat was brand new._br/_
The food and drink were really good and we saw about 30 dolphins almost as soon as we left the dock. The tour was well ran and pick up from the hotel was efficient!_br/_
I'll do the tour again when I go back to Honolulu!
Review by: Carol C, August 2014
Fantastic adventure! The staff was great, diverse, and very knowledgeable about snorkeling. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to see tons of dolphins, hang out with guides who respect the natural habitat, and see turtles! Tad expensive, but it was totally worth it in my opinion.
Review by: bianca o, August 2014
We got to see dolphins, turtles and fish! I was so sad that my camera died but i will never forget all the great memories. The staff was very friendly. Take dramamine if you get sea sick!
Review by: Trine-Benedikte O, July 2014
A very nice tour! The crew was fun, but clear on all the rules and had a lot of knowledge. We saw dolohins, turtles and a lot of cool fishes. A great new boat with a lot if space. I gave it to my husband as part of his birthdaypresent and he loved it!

The boat and crew was outstanding making this a very enjoyable trip. The crew was very knowledgeable of the ecology of the marine life we observed. The food and service was also exceptional. I wish we could have had more time snorkeling.

If you want a great time sailing with a competent and fun crew, swim with dolphins or just enjoy a great day out on the water with wondrous views, this type is for you. Rated 5 out of 5.
Review by: Linda D, May 2014
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience, watching the dolphins and snorkeling with the turtles and a variety of fish. The crew were excellent, very friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were plentiful. All round great trip.
Review by: David J, May 2014
Completely awesome!!!! Kelly and her crew made the cruise enjoyable, relaxing, and safe and fun. We saw many spinner dolphins, but we didn't get to swim with them on this trip as when we got there they were in sleep mode. It was still well worth it and would recommend it to everyone.

What a great adventure. Very knowledgable captain and crew. Fun, Fun, Fun. Our favorite activity of the whole trip. Great food too. Highly Recommend.
Review by: Terence F, September 2012
Best part of our trip to Oahu. Spent the morning drinking mai tais and "catatonics" after spending a glorious hour snorkeling where we saw five different turtles. The lunch on board included delicious kalua pork. All three shipmates where courteous and always checking to make sure your experience was the best it could be. Can't recommend this package highly enough.
Review by: Julie B, September 2012
Excellent enjoyed the day from beginning to end. The team who looked after us were superb and helped to make the day.
Review by: John L, Australia, April 2010
The experience on the boat was quite good and the staff were very friendly. The actual snorkelling part of the cruise was quite disappointing - the area to which we were taken was quite dull with very little colourful sea life - no turtles etc. just a couple of species of fish and some very bland coral attached to a large water pipe which was attached to an electricity generating plant on the shore.
Review by: Victoria W, Canada, March 2010
We had a wonderful time even though we didn't get to see any dolphins or whales. The crew was terrific, very attentive, knowledgeable and safety conscious. The weather was lovely, the boat was most spacious and comfortable and the food was yummy--adults were even offered 2 free alcoholic beverages, but at 9am on the windy seas I chose not to take them up on their offer. Best of all by far was the snorkelling. It was our first time and it was just amazing to experience the underwater life of the Hawaiian seas. I strongly recommend this trip, they even picked us up right from our Waikiki hotel.
