Overview

Aloha Ocean invites you to embark on a journey like no other along the picturesque Waianae coast of West Oahu. We offer a rare opportunity to snorkel safely with pelagic species like Bottlenose, Rough-tooth, and Spotted dolphins.
Our tour is unique because we focus on quality over quantity. We are one of the only operating 6-passenger dolphin swim tours in Hawaii. A minimum of 4 passengers is required to operate.

Our experienced crew will take you down the west coast of Oahu to view and swim with wild dolphins and other marine life. Enjoy stunning views of the coastline and the tropical waters as you relax on board our luxury powerboat. Our 30ft Robalo boat is comfortable and equipped with all the latest amenities to enhance your experience.

- Snorkel for an up-close look at the wild dolphins (keeping a respectful distance)
- All necessary snorkeling equipment is provided
- Enjoy a more personal experience than other tours that take much larger groups

    Q: Will I get seasick on Swim With Dolphins & Turtles in West Oahu (Semi-Private Tours)?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
