For more than 20 years, Dolphin Excursions Hawaii has been guiding guests throughout one of Hawaii’s best-kept secrets: the Waianae Coast. Well-known for its almost translucent water, the west shore of Oahu provides the perfect playground for a wild dolphin adventure tour. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed! Enjoy snorkeling with sea turtles and opportunities to swim with dolphins during this three-hour boat tour. Federal Law as of October 2021 does not allow us to get in the water near spinner dolphins in shallow water; however, in-water interactions with Hawaii's many other species of offshore dolphins are possible! Those opportunities are frequent but always dependent on animal behavior and conditions. You can trust we will do our best!

Q:
One more question:-) There are 7:30 am & 11:00am tours. Is there a better time when you are more likely to see more dolphins, turtles & whales?
A:
We have had better luck with the morning trip. Once they settle down to sleep (mid day) you really aren’t supposed to disturb them. And the reputable tours will respect that rule.

Q:
I was researching whale watching tours & this popped up. I would love to swim with wild dolphins & turtles as well! What is the primary focus of this tour? Snorkeling in the water? Do you go out to find the whales? Or should we book a separate whale watching tour & do this for the dolphins and turtles?
A:
I would book specific tour for Whale viewing and specific tour for dolphin viewing. Dolphin excursions should be Paramount for viewing either dolphin or whale (-:
