About Hawaii Nautical – West Oahu Dolphin Watch and Turtle Snorkel Sail with Lunch
Oahu's west coast opens to wide ocean views, green valleys and a quieter shoreline that feels far removed from the island's busier resort areas. This sailing adventure brings together dolphin watching, snorkeling and lunch, with the chance to see Hawaiian green sea turtles and other marine life along the way.
The boat anchors at a calm, vibrant snorkel site where clear water reveals tropical fish and colorful coral below. Lifeguard-certified crew members are available to help in the water, making the experience welcoming for both first-time snorkelers and confident swimmers.
From December through April, humpback whales may also appear offshore. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed or you can return and sail again for free. During whale season, the guarantee applies to dolphins or whales.
