Wild Dolphin Swimming & Snorkeling Adventure in Honolulu

★ 4.8 (180 reviews) · By Iruka Hawaii Dolphin

Experience an unforgettable adventure with our Swimming with Wild Dolphins Speedboat Tour on Oahu. Hop aboard the high-speed Zodiac boat, the Dolphin Warrior, and get ready for an exciting chance to swim with wild dolphins in their natural environment. Whether you choose to jump in the water or watch from the boat, this is a rare opportunity to connect with these intelligent creatures.

After your dolphin encounter, enjoy a complimentary lunch featuring a turkey sandwich or veggie wrap, along with chips, green tea, or hot cocoa. Then, cruise along Oahu’s stunning West Side, taking in breathtaking coastal views. Keep your eyes peeled for whales during the season (November to March), as this area is perfect for spotting these gentle giants during their migration.
