Ko Olina Ocean Adventures is your passage to the finest Snorkeling and Dolphin Encounter Adventure Tours in Oahu, Hawaii. A once in a lifetime experience among breathtakingly beautiful coral reefs, a rainbow of colorful reef fish, friendly green sea turtles, and encounters with wild Spinner dolphins that inhabit Oahu's pristine ocean waters. Imagine you, your family and your friends in the photos you see here, as you swim with dolphins in Oahu, Hawaii. The pictures below are just a taste of what you can expect on your Oahu dolphin encounter and snorkeling adventure tour!

     Hawaii's ancestors held a deep and profound respect for dolphins, or nai'a. It's a tradition the captains and crew at Ko Olina Ocean Adventures continue to honor and preserve, allowing our visitors to passively watch the dolphins, but with a policy of no touching, and no loud or disruptive behavior. Our swim with dolphins procedure is to have passengers assume a passive float position. The longer you hold perfectly still, the longer the dolphins will stay around. Experience the Oahu dolphins' ocean world knowing you're doing it in the Hawaiian traditions of respect and love for these beautiful animals.

      We now offer our website customers a See Dolphins or Whales Guarantee option. If you do not at least see dolphins or whales from the boat, you will receive a full refund on your regular tour price. Of course our ultimate goal and the highlight of our snorkel tour is to actually have you see dolphins from inside the ocean. Once we see dolphins from the boat, the odds of getting in the ocean with them is very high. Our captains and crew will try their very best each and every tour to make your in-water dolphin encounter a satisfying success. Whale watching season runs from December through March.

Snorkel with Reef Fish and Exotic Ocean Wildlife

     Following your dolphin encounter, your adventure continues with snorkeling and swimming through live coral gardens among schools of brilliantly colored reef fish and exotic ocean ceatures.

Visit Turtle Town

     Your Oahu snorkeling tour-adventure concludes with a visit to Turtle Town. Turtle Town is an amazing, natural turtle cleaning station, where ever friendly and always pleasant green sea turtles gather to get their shells and skin cleaned by algae-eating reef fish. See this amazing process of Nature happening right in front of you.

Go Humpback Whale Watching!

     As a very special bonus - included in your Hawaii snorkeling adventure from December through March is Humpback Whale Watching. Watch these majestic mammals, often accompanied by their newborn calves, play in and cruise the waters of west Oahu. Seeing these kings - and queens - of the deep up close is an encounter you will treasure forever.

     Your adventure starts at the world-class Ko Olina Resort and Marina and proceeds along the beautiful beaches, mountains and valleys of Oahu's Leeward coastline, offering the most beautiful panoramic vistas. If needed, we can provide transportation for you both to and from your Waikiki hotel. Make it easy on yourself and let us get you there and back.
