FAQs

How long is the tour?

The total experience is approximately 5 - 5.5 hours. The bus ride from Waikiki to the boat is approximately 45 minutes, the dolphin tour is 3.5 hours and the bus ride back to Waikiki is 45 minutes.

Is there a restroom on board?

Yes, the boat is equipped with a restroom.

What should I bring with me?

All guests should bring a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. The temperature on the water can be cooler so a light jacket or sweater is recommended.

Can I touch the dolphins?

No. Touching marine life and coral is illegal by Hawaii state law. Contact with human skin can make dolphins and sea turtles more susceptible to disease and cause them stress. However, the animals often come within 5 feet of our guests, and simply being in their presence is incredible.

Yes, beverages are available throughout the tour and a Hawaiian lunch will be served on board as well.

Do you provide vegetarian lunch?

Yes, vegetarian burgers are available upon request.

Of all the things we did in Oahu, this was my absolute favorite! The crew was upbeat and friendly, the waters clear, and oh my goodness, the dolphins! There was a huge pod out there and they circled back several times so we really got a great look. We even got to see a whale with several dolphins jumping around it! After a great lunch, we got to snorkel around and see even more creatures, like tropical fish and sea turtles. The slide is just icing on top of the cake. Highly recommend - be sure to bring an underwater camera!
