Tour Operator: *click to see other tours by them
Come and spend the afternoon with the amazing crew of the Ko Olina Ocean Adventures as they take you snorkeling off the west coast of O'ahu!
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.
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!
