Itinerary

Along the stunning coastline of West Oahu, you can fully enjoy the beautiful sight of dolphins in their natural habitat. Immerse yourself in Hawaii's healing landscapes and escape the hustle and bustle of the world! Not only can you witness wild spinner dolphins, but you can also enjoy snorkeling alongside Hawaii's marine life in an untouched, pristine environment. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience you'll never forget.

We offer two daily hotel pick-up times in the Waikiki area (6:10 AM / 10:10 AM). After passengers arrive at the Waianae Harbor on West Oahu, they will board the boat to begin the approximately three-hour "Life Slide" activity. Once the boat departs, the captain will lead a traditional Hawaiian blessing ceremony, praying to the ocean gods for a safe journey, giving guests a unique experience of Hawaii's cultural prayer ritual.

Upon reaching the waters where wild dolphins gather, guests will prepare their snorkeling gear, put on their masks, and get ready to swim with the marine life. Here, you may encounter wild dolphins, often seeing a dozen or more swimming around you, and sometimes even larger groups. Watching these playful creatures swim beside the boat will fill you with excitement. In addition to dolphins, you'll find a vibrant array of fish below the surface, and occasionally, you may even spot a Hawaiian green sea turtle.

If you feel tired after snorkeling, you can relax on the deck and try various water activities like the water slide, kayaking, and paddleboarding. While guests enjoy these activities, the captain and crew will prepare fresh, made-to-order snacks for everyone, ensuring both freshness and great taste. During lunch, the crew will entertain guests with traditional Hawaiian performances, such as hula dancing or playing the ukulele.
As guests enjoy the lively performances, the boat will slowly make its way back to the harbor. Our shuttle will be ready at the dock to return guests to their designated Waikiki hotel pick-up locations.

Special Notes

For safety reasons, we are currently unable to accommodate guests under the age of two.
Dolphins and you will fully comply with the new Marine Mammal Protection Act, which prohibits approaching and remaining near spinner dolphins within 2 nautical miles of the Oahu coast.
To comply with new NOAA regulations, starting from December 1, 2021, we will only observe dolphins. Our team will strive to ensure you have ample opportunity to encounter dolphins in their natural environment and continue offering snorkeling activities with sea turtles.
According to Hawaii state law, marine animals and coral cannot be touched. Human skin contact may make dolphins and turtles more susceptible to infections and cause them stress. However, these animals often approach our guests, and just being in their presence is an amazing experience.
Hawaiian spinner dolphins are wild marine animals, so sightings are not guaranteed. However, we encounter dolphins more than 90% of the time.
This activity is not recommended for those with heart conditions, pregnant women, or guests who should avoid excessive stimulation.
A health condition form will be provided for you to fill out on-site before the activity.
Luggage is not allowed on the boat.
Guests who wish to snorkel should bring swimwear.
The itinerary may be adjusted due to weather, road conditions, or other factors. We appreciate your understanding.
