Wild Dolphin Encounters on the Oahu Waianai Coast

For the ultimate in Waikiki wild dolphin encounters look no further than Dolphin Excursion's Wild Dolphin Encounter. This unforgettable Waikiki wild dolphin adventure includes dolphin siting aboard a scenic boat ride along Oahu's Waianai Coast, swimming with wild dolphins, and snorkeling with tropical fish and sea turtles!

Your unforgettable wild dolphin encounter begins as you board Dolphin Encounter's Nai'a I at Waianai Boat Harbour. From there, you will ride along Oahu's scenic western coastline to search for Hawaii's beautiful Spinner Dolphins. On the way, enjoy spectacular views of Oahu's majestic mountains, sparkling turquoise waters, and beautiful sandy coastline. Your professional and friendly captain knows all the best spots for dolphin spotting. In addition to Spinner Dolphins, guests may encounter Bottlenose Dolphins and Spotted Dolphins, in addition to other tropical marine life. During winter months, guests might also see a mighty Humpback Whale! The Nai'a I is designed for quick maneuverability to allow the best possible views of marine life, so you can capture these amazing animals flip, breach, spin and do other tricks.

This Waikiki wild dolphin encounter continues with an exciting in-water wild dolphin swim. The highlight of the Wild Dolphin Encounter is called "The Drop". If the dolphins are feeling playful and alert, guests will have the opportunity to emerge themselves in water among the dolphins to experience their beauty, language, and playfulness up close and personal in the dolphins’ own natural environment! No other dolphin encounter in Waikiki provides an opportunity to experience these amazing creatures in their own natural habitat. Masks and snorkels will allow you to swim along with the dolphins and even hear the beautiful sounds they make when communicating with one another. No park experience can compare to an actual in-water drop among wild dolphins. Dolphin and water conditions are ideal for The Drop about 80% of the time

The final portion of your unforgettable day at sea includes snorkeling among Oahu's most pristine natural coral reefs. Guests will see colorful tropical fish, beautiful live reef, and Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. During winter season, if snorkeling conditions aren't ideal, more time will be allotted for whale watching.
