Check-in at Waianae Harbor
Once everyone is comfortably seated, your captain and crew will go over the safety features of the Poseidon vessel before heading out from the Waianae Small Boat Harbor. Take in the amazing early morning views of the coastline and mountains while heading out into the open waters of west Oahu.
As a way to bring luck and fortune to your tour, everyone will come together to do the famous "E Ho Mai" oli, or Hawaiian chant. This ancient prayer has been done for centuries, and it is a great way to begin your tour as you send off the plumeria blossoms into the water filled with good intentions.
As some of the smallest and most agile dolphins in the world, keep an eye out for the many pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins that enjoy coming in close to shore after a night of feeding in deeper waters. Although you cannot swim with these federally protected marine mammals, they are a sight to see!
Discover prime snorkeling locations on Oahu's scenic west coast, a must-visit spot for snorkeling enthusiasts on the island.The captain will take you to a pristine snorkel spot teeming with vibrant marine life.
Have a tasty deli lunch after snorkeling! Choose between a Turkey sandwich or Veggie wrap.
Enjoy some exciting ocean activities! Feel the rush as you zoom down the thrilling 20-foot water slide, plunging into the refreshing waters below.
Try stand-up paddling, and soak in the breathtaking views of the majestic mountains on the west side.
Children can have an absolute blast playing on a large floating mat, enjoying fun under the sun while surrounded by the refreshing water.
