The experience combines dolphin watching, snorkeling, lunch, and several activities on the water in one West Oahu cruise. The day starts with a search for wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins from the boat. After dolphin watching, guests can snorkel in the ocean and look for Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical fish. Back on the boat, there is plenty of time to enjoy the water or relax on deck. Try the 20-foot water slide, paddle a kayak, or use a stand-up paddleboard. Lunch is included, and the crew also performs hula during the return trip to the harbor.
