Itinerary
Join Dolphins and You for a dolphin watching and snorkeling cruise along the west coast of Oahu. The tour departs from Waianae Boat Harbor and heads offshore to look for wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins in their natural habitat. Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings are not guaranteed, but the crew will look for them throughout the cruise. After dolphin watching, the boat heads to a snorkeling area where you can get in the water and look for Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical fish. The crew provides snorkel gear, including masks, fins, and safety jackets, and will assist guests during the water activities. There is also time to enjoy the boat and try several activities. Depending on ocean and weather conditions, guests can use the 20-foot water slide, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards, or stay on board and enjoy the views of Oahu's west coast. Lunch is served on board, with a choice of turkey sandwich, PBJ, or spinach wrap, along with chips and lemonade. On the way back to the harbor, the crew performs hula and shares Hawaiian culture with guests. You can also take photos with the crew or get a temporary Hawaiian dolphin tattoo as a souvenir.

Danni, Tita, and the rest of the crew were amazing!! Our family had the most amazing time! I would recommend this tour over and over again. The wildlife and view was breathtaking.
This was incredible and worth every penny. The staff was very hands on and gave my 19 year old deep diving tips etc. The group was small which made it even better!
Dolphins, turtles, beautiful views of mountains then snorkeling. On the way back lunch, a quick hula show and temporary tattoos.
Went on the Oceans and You, tour with a friend and we had the best time. A really nice tour bus picked us up close to the hotel and took us to the boat. The driver was great, the guide was great. We found dolphins within about 10 mins of leaving the dock. CTP Danny was great. We snorkeled for a while, played in the ocean and watched the dolphins. The dolfins don’t get that close to us, which was fine. We had a nice lunch on the boat, sandwich, chips and drink. They had all the safety equipment we needed. One of the guys took some kinds out on a kayak… it’s was a great day. Book the morning tour if your can. Better chance to see dolphins.
It was an amazing experience, I will book again a tour with them in my next trip, I love it. They had the best attention
The most fabulous day had. We were picked up on time and had Keely who was friendly and explained everything clearly and in great detail. All the crew members were amazing. Ben great captain and master of ceremonies kaona was also fabulous. Recommend to everyone. Great energy, hoola dancing was also fab. Thank you to you all..Aloha.
The crew with Ingrid was terrific. We saw dolphins, turtles and ingred even did a hula for us. We snorkeled and they had a fantastic slide to go down. We ordered the veggie wrap which was amazing. Ingred even sat with me and shared some awesome pictures of amazing fish.
Got to see a lot of dolphins. Very professional and fun boat crew! Great for kids. Good sandwiches. Highly recommend!
Absolutely fabulous! Saw more dolphins than expected the water slide was so much fun! The crew was super nice and the hula dance was very lovely! Definitely recommend and definitely doing this again in the future!
Plan for a 7 hour experience. There were cockroaches on the boat & $5 for a soda, same price as alcohol. We had very rough waters the day we went out and seemed dangerous for snorkeling we also didn’t see any fish or turtles while snorkeling we did see some dolphins from the boat but you don’t swim with the dolphins it’s illegal.
Captain Ben, Cyre, Kaena, Keely, Kamalu, Kina were all friendly, kind and amazing!!! From pick up by our hotel on a comfortable bus and drop off. We saw a ton of dolphins, the history lesson about the land, the delicious turkey sandwich, the snorkeling, water slide and even getting to see crush (turtle). Amazing time, well worth the money! Thank You to the entire staff!

Very rough water and water wasn’t clear. There were several sick people on the boat. I understand the weather and water is uncontrollably, but maybe find a secondary location for times like this. Was not impressed at all.
The crew and captain were great while explaining the safety measures. The staff was amazing. Fun time
This was such a memorable experience! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to watch dolphins in the wild and see a sea turtle living its best life was incredible. The crew made the day even more special. They were fun, friendly, and genuinely cared about everyone on board. I especially want to thank Captain Ben, Ingrid, Kainoa, Kiara, and Kyoka. My oldest son is autistic (high functioning), and they were so attentive, patient, and thoughtful. They made sure he was comfortable and enjoying himself throughout the trip. As a parent, that meant the world to me. A huge mahalo to all of you for your kindness and compassion! Ingrid was also incredibly knowledgeable about the island and shared so many interesting facts that made the experience even better. I also highly recommend purchasing the photo package. I'm so glad I did! Kiara captured so many beautiful photos, allowing me to stay present and enjoy the adventure while knowing those special moments were being preserved. This was truly one of the highlights of our Hawaii vacation, and I would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This all stat crew of Kaena, Cyre, Kirra, Jerry, Alec, and Keely was unbelievable. They went above and beyond to help us and cater to our needs. The tour was unbelievable, the boat was nice, and we spotted many, many dolphins! I had loads of fun and if you’re in Hawaii and don’t know where to start, this is where I’d recommend! Shout out Keely for doing the job of both tour guide, assistant, and Japanese interpreter! 5 stars to this wonderful crew!
This boat was absolutely awesome! It had the best crew that is clearly like family in how close they are and wants everyone to have a great time. They had free pickup and dropped even when our hotel was an hour away. When we got to the snorkel spot, we got an hour to use the slide, snorkel, or just swim. One thing I wish was that snorkeling part was a little longer and unfortunately the day we went the water was a little murky but that’s not something they can control. They found us spinner dolphins to follow and they were beautiful! As well as finding turtle to spot. Plus the sandwich for lunch is delicious!! If you want a shorter, fun snorkel boat with a crew that livens up the boat, this is the one!
This was so much fun, we really got to experience the Hawaiian vibe. The music the dancers, Loren was great, some local grinds to purchase would be great!❤️ Great Job everyone.
I was very disappointed by this excursion. Way too many people on board the boat made for cramped travel and snorkeling. You could barely snorkel without getting kicked or bumped into, and although there were large schools of fish when we first arrived, they quickly dispersed. The advertisements implied that we would be swimming with turtles, which is not accurate. We were able to see lots of dolphins and one turtle from the boat but that’s it. The crew members were very kind and entertaining. Overall disappointed and would not recommend.
We had the best time on this excursion. Our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the sea life. We got lucky and ended up seeing three different pods of dolphins throughout the day. Lunch was tasty and we also enjoyed the slide. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
This was the BEST experience. The crew was phenomenal. So sweet. Kind. Accommodating. Everything was on time. Sandwiches were well made and tasty!! We saw soooo many dolphins. Two species. No wet suits needs btw. Water was so warm even my five year old had a blast. My young teens gave this experience 10/10 as well. DO IT. You won’t be disappointed
The boat ride and dolphin experience was amazing! The captain and crew were awesome as well! Well worth the money and I highly recommend this tour!
The staff was absolutely amazing! I felt safe and enjoyed their humor. Best experience I could expect! I can't remember their names but I do remember Ingrid! They made sure we got to see dolphins, took us snorkeling, and we got to enjoy a beautiful boat ride.
Amazing experience to see Hawaii’s natural marine wildlife. The entire team was fantastic! would definitely recommend to anyone
The crew was absolutely amazing and worked very well to make sure you and your family are taken care of. We all saw dolphins and sea turtles which was absolutely breathtaking. Snorkeling was stunning as well and even my 2year old loved it!
Family was here from June 11th thru June 19th We did excursions every day This was by far the best one
Great and friendly crew. Great experience seeing dolphins and later snorkeling with my family. Hula dancing at the end was awesome!
My family of six had a great time with our host Tyler, bus driver Mahea, Captain Dani, and the rest of the crew Cyre,Faavae, Ben, and Kaena. Saw lots of dolphins, lots of turtles, and got to do a little snorkeling as well. Would highly recommended this tour for those who want to spend a few hours on the water.
This was a great adventure. We saw dolphin, snorkeled with turtles, and even got to see a W hula dances. The staff worked their butts off phasing out gear, assisting people, passing out lunches, and making sure everyone has a good time. Loved it!
Fantastic excursion!! Great hospitality and customer service. We saw many dolphins and even swam with tropical fish and a giant sea turtle nearby. We saw a lot of wildlife. Nice that they offered free ice water and free lemonade the whole time. Sandwiches and chips lunch was included on the trip. They also had a professional photographer taking photos for an added fee if you chose that. Highly recommend getting the photos as amazing water camera and photos!! The only downside is many people got seasick and nauseous, and I have not had that experience before on other snorkel tours. Overall a great experience!
It was a fun trip and all staff was friendly. We saw all the things they promote and enjoyed a bit of swim time as well. The swimming time seemed too short! The views while coasting were amazing!
Definitely recommend this. We had a great time, we saw a huge dolphin pod, snorkeling was fun, the crew was so nice. I recommend getting the photo package, the pictures we got were amazing and we got them only a couple of hours after our tour was over.
Special thanks to Captain Jerry for sharing his years of experience and happy we didn't hit any icebergs.
Had a blast great energy, good vibes, awesome crew. Saw two different species of dolphins and saw green sea turtles. Capitan Jerry was great, Lauren great paparazzi took a great pictures, Faabae was a great hostess, Kaena great life guard and Syre was great hula dance.
I had such a great time. The staff and crew are amazing. Highly recommend, would Absolutley do this again!
What an amazing experience!! Great staff that made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience, not to add they were so entertaining with music, comedy, hula shows and water sport activities!! We saw and swam dozens and dozens of dolphins and even a sea turtle!! Kaena and Kainoa were so entertaining and informative!! And shout out to our captain for locating all the sealife!! An unforgettable experience and recommend 100%!!
Great fun and crew saw spinner dolphins and the slide, snorkeling and paddleboard was fun would recommend
My partner and I had a blast! The captain was very knowledgeable and the crew also made sure to make us feel safe at all times while still having fun. The lunch was yummy and we also got to see dolphins and turtles. 10/10 would recommend!
Great experience,the crew was amazing,I was with my family and was the first trip on boat for my son and they make sure is was amazing.
We had some such a great time and the crew was amazing 🥰
We connected so much with the crew! We had so much fun hitting the water and playing in the water! Thank you for such a memorable experience. This was my son’s vacation highlight.
Best bonus = add-on photo package with Lauren!! This was a fun, relaxing adventure with the kids. We saw dolphins, a few turtles, and did some snorkeling. The crew was experienced, worked well together, and were fun! Dani, the boat captain was wonderful, and our boat hostess and team were fun, entertaining and kept our adventure rolling along. They sprinkled in fun surprises and authentic Hawaiian touches (like a song to ask the ocean to open to us, and hula dancing, and.... - well just go and find out!!). The 2-story slide was an awesome touch during the snorkeling because the kids and kids at heart loved it. The slide helped my kid enjoy the snorkeling time even more. But the best part was the professional photo package from Lauren (with credit card charges, about $80) that allowed us to enjoy the adventure and put the phone up (at least for most of the time - hard habit to break for some candid moments). The views were amazing, the water sparkling blue, and the adventure was perfect.
BEST ADD = Lauren's photo package with professional party pics!! This tour was a relaxing, fun & full of surprises (good ones!!) We saw tons of dolphins, the turtles were a little busy further out in the ocean, but we did see several. Snorkeling was fun if not typical of all snorkeling in Hawaii (a little snorkeled out). But the boat ride was fun, the crew was entertaining and helpful, and they planned sweet surprises for us! The 2-story slide was a HIT with the kids and was a great added bonus than just snorkeling when we anchored. They even had a small kayak and other stuff for us to do while bobbing in the ocean. The best added bonus was Lauren and her professional photography package that you can add on. She took pictures on the boat, in the water, and with a Go Pro. Her documentation of our adventure was timeless and a great added bonus. We could just enjoy the trip and not worry about capturing everything on the phone (go ahead - try to enjoy yourself sans the phone!!) Even the shuttle bus was dedicated to this tour and relaxing. The crew was awesome (shout out to Dani the boat captain and our on-boat hostess and crew). You could really tell they had safety in mind (for the parents) but were fun (for the party!) This was a good family-oriented event (the Dolphins & Your tour) but we had a full range of guests on this tour. All in all - go and enjoy yourself!!
Tour guides were the kindest people ever. They were highly trained and knowledgeable, welcoming making the trip extraordinary.
Had an awesome day on the Dolphins and You tour. The west coast is absolutely stunning and we saw a pod of Dolphins. Tge whole crew...Mahia, Dani, Ben, Brandon, Tyler were brilliant and made the day fun and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
Amazing day out. Absolutely loved seeing all the wildlife (dolphins & whales). Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly.
Be prepared to not see much only because the are wildlife. I wasn't disappointed that we didnt see the sea turtles because I knew there was a chance we wouldn't. But I felt like the staff did as much as they could. The captain did a great job at finding and tracking the dolphins though! The kids favorite part was the waterside! Overall great experience and we would do it again!
The team was very nice! Our guide and the boat crew were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I fel sick the whole trip and I couldnt really enjoy… And even the bracelets against motion sickness which you can buy from them didnt help me. ;( The view from the boat was beautiful tho and we could see cute little fish while snorkeling. From the boat we saw one turtle and one monk seal. Unfortunately no dolphins the whole trip, but the team tried there best to move around and find some. A highlight was a hula dance show by the crew members.
This was fun and easy from start to finish! Being picked up by Mahea and Tyler we began with a fun ride to the West side of the island. We met the crew Captain Jerry Kainoa, Brandon aka (Jack), Faavae, and Cyre. We were treated like family all day and led us to some great spots to see wildlife and snorkel. 10/10 would recommend! This was truly a most excellent adventure.
