- Wild Side Specialty Tours - Small Group Swimming with Dolphins Oahu Boat Tours - Where comfort meets discovery, and excitement is always just beneath the surface.
Enjoy a spacious power catamaran featuring shaded seating, sunny decks, and multiple viewing areas—from the bow to the elevated observation deck. It includes a private onboard restroom and ample space to relax and take in the scenery at your leisure.
Each journey is tailored to real-time ocean conditions and wildlife behavior. Our knowledgeable naturalists guide the adventure, offering insights as we encounter dolphins, whales (year-round), sea turtles, seabirds, and the stunning coastline of Oʻahu’s west side.
When conditions are calm and suitable, guests can snorkel in the clear tropical waters. During the winter months, Hawaiʻi’s renowned swells may occasionally make snorkeling unsafe; in such cases, the focus shifts to extended wildlife viewing, coastal exploration, and onboard learning.
Snorkeling is always optional. Certified guides are available to assist beginners and provide flotation gear, while many guests prefer to stay onboard and enjoy the experience from the deck. The pace is relaxed, flexible, and guided by nature—offering a thoughtful, uncrowded way to experience the wild side of Hawai’i.
