Pick up Begins

Depart for the West Side!
Our WiFi-equipped shuttle will transport you on the one-hour drive to Oahu’s West Coast. Our local tour guide will provide an important briefing and answer any questions you might have. For questions about what to bring, view our FAQs.

"The best bus driver that we had the pleasure of dealing with on the island of Oahu and I would argue to say in the state of Hawaii!"

Arrive at Waianae Harbor

1st Tour 8:00 AM | 2nd Tour 12:00 PM

Arrive at Waianae Harbor and set sail on the all-new “Ariya”!
Our new ship has two decks, wrap-around seating on the bow, two bathrooms and onboard showers!

"The bus and boat are modern and comfortable and the water equipment really ensured that we got to make the most of the day. We all enjoyed the slide and snorkeling, seeing lots. Thanks for a fabulous and fun day!"

Our Amazing Crew

Filled with the Aloha Spirit, our “locally grown” crew members are all masters of the sea! Each is CPR, First-Aid and LifeSaver licensed.

Plus, they’re amazing ukulele players, singers and hula dancers!

"The crew was so friendly and very welcomed to us, they where making sure we feel comfortable and safe. Love the tour I highly recommend it!"

E Hō Mai Ceremony

We will begin our boat ride by reciting a Hawaiian chant called, “E Hō Mai“. It is a prayer to the gods of the sea for a safe trip with plentiful wildlife.

"We were really lucky and got too see whales, turtles and dolphins. The crew gives you a great experience, and gives you the Hawaii feeling."

Watch Dolphins in the Wild!

We will cruise the West Side in search of dolphins. As the name implies, Spinner Dolphins are known for their acrobatic spinning skills and long snouts. The time spent watching the dolphins varies with many factors, but usually is around 15-30 minutes.

Dolphin watching will be an experience you will never forget!

"We saw spinner dolphins within 10 minutes of departing the dock. We saw several pods of dolphins many times. It was really cool that Captain Danni would stop the normal for everybody to look and take pics. They also told us little fun facts along the way."

Gear up for snorkeling!

Our complimentary snorkel, mask, and life jacket will make your experience in the water fun and safe. For those who would like a wet suit, they are available to rent on the bus.

"100% recommended! Everything was perfect! I am not a good swimmer and was a bit afraid of the water but they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe."

Swim with Turtles!

After watching dolphins, we’ll head to a second location where sea turtles are known to congregate. Here your guide will point out tropical fishes, honu turtles, and more if they can be seen!

"Absolutely loved this tour! We got to see plenty of dolphins, as well as a seal, a few turtles, and a whole lot of fish."

Ocean Activities!

In addition to snorkeling, you can ride our kayak and try some stand-up paddle boarding! We have a wide variety of water activities for you to enjoy, including a 20-ft water slide! or, just sit back on the boat and relax in the sun!

"Not only do you get to go snorkeling but the crew provides other fun activities like paddle boarding, kayaks and a really fun slide that goes straight into the ocean. This is by far my favorite activity I’ve done so far since being here in Hawaii."

Lunch Time

After a fun-filled day in the ocean, our crew will serve you your complimentary lunch!

You may also purchase drinks onboard. Adult beverages are available to purchase at $5 per drink.

"Top notch. The crew goes out of their way to make everyone comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at the high caliber of lunch provided. Snacks are provided throughout the trip and then a bento box."

Dolphin Tattoo
