Dolphin Swim & Interactive Programs
Grab your spot today to interact with dolphins on Oahu! Interact one-on-one with beautiful dolphins in a controlled environment, watch them play and perform dazzling stunts in their habitats, and learn all about dolphin conservation from your expert guide.
Swim with Sharks & Cage Diving Tour
Experience the top shark tours in Hawaii! Departing from Haleiwa Harbor, embark on an unforgettable adventure exploring the pristine waters of Oahu's North Shore. Encounter amazing pelagic creatures up close. Whether you choose to brave the thrill of open water shark swimming amidst the vast ocean expanse or prefer the safety of a shark cage experience, one thing is certain - you're in for an unforgettable adventure that will leave you with lasting memories.
Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat
Explore the underwater world of Oahu while staying completely dry! These submarine and glassbottom boat tours allow anyone to see vibrant Hawaiian marine life, including fish, coral, sea turtles, and other sea creatures without needing to worry about swimming ability, snorkeling gear, or air tanks. Look down on the fish while cruising on a glassbottom boat, enjoy an underwater journey while in an air-conditioned submarine, or try out an underwater scooter to roam the depths yourself.
Whale Watching Tours in Oahu
See whales on the best whale watching Oahu tours this winter, and watch as the Pacific humpback whales rest and play after traveling from Alaska to Hawaii. December and April is whale watching Oahu season, and the ocean becomes the winter home for humpback whales and their calves that are born in the island's warm waters, and with whale watching cruises, boat rides, and sails departing from Waikiki, the North Shore, and west Oahu, there is a whale watching experience perfect for everyone.
