Experience an epic adventure with Wild Side Specialty Tours about 20 minutes from Ko Olina Beach Villas. The small-group snorkeling excursion is led by eco-conscience marine biologists swimming with wild dolphins, sea turtles, tons of fish, and even whales. The Best of the West tour runs for 3+ hours, has an 8-passenger maximum, offers snacks and drinks, and provides optimized snorkel gear and flotation devices.
Guests are trained with pre-encounter briefings on dolphin “wet-iquette” (how to swim with wild dolphins and small whales) and expert in-water guides keep encounters safe and sane for both dolphins and humans. Exclusive blue-water encounters give access to up to 18 species of toothed dolphins, 6 baleen whales, and 22 species of seabirds in Hawaii – including rare and often endemic species.
Reservations (especially for holiday peaks and winter humpback whale seasons) are recommended to be made at least two weeks ahead of time. Last-minute bookings may be available if there is space (and discounted stand-by seats may also be available). It’s worth a try!
