Dolphin Excursions - Wild Dolphin Encounter
Come aboard the Naia I for a journey along Oahu’s west shore
in search of wild spinner dolphins. Take some of the most incredible
photographs of your vacation as you observe spinner dolphins in the
open ocean and let them amaze you with their superb aerial stunts.
This tour follows guidelines that are dictated by federal law
protecting these animals. The crew will make sure you observe these
animals under an eco-friendly leadership giving you a safe and fun
open ocean safari.
You will also get to snorkel at sites with tropical fish and
Hawaiian green sea turtles. And during the winter months, humpback
whales frequent this area. This is also when the ocean is often more
turbulent, so snorkeling in the winter is dependent on the weather and
conditions. But if snorkeling isn’t possible, you’ll spend longer
viewing the whales.
You will receive a cooler bag with a deli lunch including a
sandwich choice and chips to go with you on the boat. Water and
assorted juices are available on the boat in a cooler to help
yourself. Soft coolers to stow any drinks or snacks you want to keep
cold are provided as well, including complimentary ice for you to add
to the bag once packed. The ice can be used for any personal coolers
as well. Feel free to pack your own food and beverages in addition if
needed. BYOB!
