Dolphin Watching Cruise & Snorkel Sailing Tour with Ko Olina Ocean AdventuresSALE
Sail the crystal blue waters of Ko Olina!
Set sail on a 4-hour cruise from Ko Olina Harbor aboard the Hololea Kai, a 53-ft gold coast, luxury catamaran. Watch playful dolphins and snorkel or snuba with the turtles and reef fish on this West Coast Oahu adventure in Waianae.
Embark on a delightful dolphin watch and snorkel. Choose from a morning or afternoon sail as you cruise along Oahu's stunning leeward coast. Keep your eyes peeled for playful Hawaiian spinner dolphin pods as you stop for a sunny snorkel at two of Oahu's top sites! Explore the underwater reefs to look for vibrant native fish and green sea turtles. The clear waters of Waianae give you excellent visibility, making it ideal for trying out snuba diving if you want to go deeper than snorkeling would allow. This tour is a perfect way to experience the pristine waters of Oahu's west side!
Whale Watching! Every year Humpback Whales migrate to the warm waters of Hawaii, and although not guaranteed, they are often seen between the months of December and April.
