Ko Olina Ocean Adventures is your passage to the finest Snorkeling and Dolphin Encounter Adventure Tours in Oahu, Hawaii. Watching dolphins swim in the Oahu waters is a once in a lifetime experience. Imagine your personal tour of breathtakingly beautiful coral reefs, rainbows 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.

     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.
