Dolphin Excursions – Wild Dolphin Encounter

Head out from Oahu’s west side aboard Naia I for a small-group wildlife cruise focused on dolphins, reef life and the changing ocean conditions of the leeward coast. Spinner dolphins are often seen in these waters, with naturalist guides following federal viewing guidelines while helping you understand what you are seeing along the way.

During whale season, humpbacks may also appear offshore, adding another layer to the trip. When conditions are right, the day can include snorkeling over reef areas where tropical fish and Hawaiian green sea turtles are commonly found.

The smaller-group setup keeps the experience relaxed, with plenty of time for photos, wildlife watching and time in the water before heading back to shore.
