Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin
Come and spend the afternoon with the amazing crew of the Pacific Passion as they take you snorkeling off the west coast of O'ahu!

Before embarking on your adventure, you will be treated to either a delicious continental breakfast of Kona coffee, hot tea, cocoa and donuts for the morning tour, or a light midday snack of soda, snacks and fruit for the afternoon tour.

After boarding the vessel, you will go for a short 10-minute cruise up the coastline where, if conditions permit, you will have the opportunity to swim with Nai'a, the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins. These beautiful marine mammals were loved, respected and protected by the ancient Hawaiian people. The Ko Olina Ocean Adventures crew continue to honor that tradition and, if the conditions permit, they will allow you to passively swim among them, but there is a very strict no-touching and no loud and disruptive behavior policy.


Reef Fish
Following your swim with the dolphins, this three hour tour continues with snorkeling in beautiful live coral gardens with schools of brilliantly colored reef fishes and also swimming with another member of the ocean family, the Honu or Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles of "turtle town". You'll be amazed and awed by the abundant sea life in this pristine natural environment.
As you head back to shore, just sit back and relax because Ko Olina Ocean Adventures will also provide you with a light lunch after returning to the marina! Click here for the complete lunch menu

Pacific Passion
The Boats:

The 37-foot Threaser-built Pacific Passion offers one of the best rides on Hawaii waters! It's 478-HP engine allows exceptionally high-speed rides at up to 22-knots and it also has comfortable ocean side seating for up to 35-passengers, a powerful engine and an onboard restroom.


Maui Explorer
The Maui Explorer is a 38-foot RIB (rigged inflatable boat) vessel that can carry 30 passengers for a fun-filled day of snorkeling and dolphin watching. You will be seated comfortably on the boat as the two powerful 250-HP engines propel the vessel at 29-knots over the beautiful waters of the Pacific Ocean. There is plenty of comfortable center seating and an onboard restroom as well.
