Description

Swimming with turtles and checking out dolphins.  Sightseeing off of Oahu’s West Side coastline.  Learning about Hawaii traditions.  And an opportunity to learn the hula.  Get all this and more on our “Your Day with Dolphins and You” cruise!

Set sail with us on our new ship, named the "Ariya"! This beautiful boat is equipped with two decks, wrap-around seating on the bow, two bathrooms, and even onboard showers!  Our amazing 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!

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

Swim with or watch Dolphins in the Wild! As the name implies, Spinner Dolphins are known for their acrobatic spinning skills and long snouts. Meeting dolphins up close will be an experience you will never forget!

After swimming with the dolphins, we continue on to one of the best coral reefs in Hawaii! Here you will snorkel with tropical fishes, honu turtles, manta rays, and you might even see whales in the winter!

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, or, just sit back on the boat and relax in the sun!

Our ride back to the dock includes a complimentary snack pack for each of our riders, a live ukulele performance by a member of the crew, temporary tattoos, and a special hula show.  We fully intend to make this day memorable.  We truly hope you have an amazing time!
