Description:

Away from the hustle of Waikiki sits the untouched pristine waters of Oahu's west coast—home to good-natured dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish. Grab your camera and hop aboard a half-day cruise for up-close wildlife encounters and snorkeling with vibrant fish and tropical reefs.

Embark from Ko'Olina Marina and cruise along Waianae, Oahu's west coast, with the refreshing sea breeze in your hair and the warm sun on your body. Keep an eye out for lively Hawaiian spinner dolphins, Hawaiian sea turtles bobbing above the water, and pods of whales, depending on the season.

When local wildlife is spotted, the boat stops so you can capture pictures of your memorable encounters. Along your journey, your captain shares Hawaiian history and trivia about local sea life, and points out striking landmarks along the coast.

After a briefing on snorkeling basics and safety, dive into the clear, 80-degree Hawaiian water. Unveil the lively underwater world of rainbow fish, charming coral reefs, and maybe even an octopus. See if you can spot (and correctly say) the Hawaii state fish, the humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

When you're ready to return to the boat, bask in the sun's warmth and enjoy a hot Hawaiian buffet lunch complete with Hawaiian-style teriyaki chicken, kalua pig (pulled pork), white rice, assorted fresh fruit, and fresh buns. As you return to the Ko'Olina Marina, sip on a tropical mai tai, ice-cold beer, or a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice.
