What To Expect

During your Honolulu dolphin tour, be on the lookout for Pan Tropical Spotted, Bottlenose, and Spinner dolphins, along with any other marine life as we cruise along the coastline of West Oahu.

After enjoying the magic of the dolphins, we will take you to Makaha, one of the best snorkeling spots on island. Snorkel with Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles, tropical fish, and more. Enjoy a locally crafted Turkey Sandwich or Veggie Wrap with chips, green tea, or hot cocoa while we make our way to the snorkel site.

Get ready for more fun on our brand new 21-foot water slide! Relax on our floating mat, or try our stand-up paddleboard or kayak. After, you can rinse off and warm up with our ION hot shower onboard.

This Oahu Dolphin Watch Cruise with waterslide and snorkeling is a perfect family-friendly adventure that will be a memorable day on Oahu that you will cherish for years.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
