Dolphin Watching & Turtle Snorkeling Tour in Honolulu
See more
Experience the beauty of West Oahu with a dolphin watching and snorkeling tour that’s perfect for all ages. Hop aboard a spacious 42-passenger catamaran and cruise along the coast, searching for playful dolphins in their natural habitat. The boat’s stable design ensures a smooth ride, so you can relax and enjoy the stunning ocean views and mountain scenery.
After spotting dolphins from the boat, it’s time to dive into the clear waters for some snorkeling. You’ll see vibrant tropical fish, Hawaiian sea turtles, and possibly even Hawaiian monk seals or manta rays. This tour is beginner-friendly, making it an ideal choice for families with small children or anyone new to snorkeling.
Included in your experience are shuttle pickups from select hotels, bottled water, snacks, snorkeling gear, and a mini Hawaiian lunch featuring kalua pork and cabbage with sweet potato. Remember to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a towel for comfort.
