SNORKELING, WHALE WATCHING & DINNER CRUISES IN OʻAHU WAIʻANAE COASTLINE, HI
The Pacific has one story — we just tell it three different ways. From first light to last light, pick your moment: sunrise dolphins, golden-hour snorkel, or sunset dinner.
Premier morning cruise up the Waianae coast with an hour of snorkeling, dolphin and whale watching, and a gourmet Hawaiian buffet.
Afternoon cruise along Oʻahu's western coastline featuring dolphin watching, one hour of snorkeling at a prime reef, and a Hawaiian buffet.
The only Oahu sunset dinner cruise that includes snorkeling — watch dolphins at dusk, snorkel a secret reef, and dine on a Hawaiian buffet with cocktails.
Kai ʻOliʻOli
Charter the whole boat for weddings, milestone birthdays, family reunions, and corporate retreats. Our crew tailors the route, the menu, and the soundtrack to your day.
Pods of 50-200 spinner dolphins, every season.
Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles) glide past while you snorkel the reef.
From December through April, watch humpbacks breach and tail-slap off the Waianae coast.
The most romantic vista on Oahu — Hawaiian sunset, hot Hawaiian buffet, cocktails.
“Our first time to Hawaii for our 5 yr old daughter's MAKE-A-Wish trip. We are so glad we chose this adventure. The crew was awesome. They were very informative, friendly, accommodating and funny.”
— Lara J.“We loved this whale/dolphin watching & snorkeling experience. The crew was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Loved the catamaran and the warm water to rinse off with after you were done snorkeling.”
— Patrick C.“I just came off of this cruise — it was AMAZING!!!! We saw dolphins, turtles and other sea life. Both while on the boat and snorkeling! It was one of the coolest experiences of my life!”
— Michelle C.The Waianae Coast is Hawaii's quietest stretch — clearer water, fewer crowds, and the highest dolphin-sighting rate on Oahu. Every cruise on the Kai ʻOliʻOli is a chance to snorkel reefs, spot honu, and (in winter) watch humpback whales breach.
It's also a family memory. The crew tells the story of the islands as you cross open water. The galley turns out a hot Hawaiian buffet. The kids never forget the dolphins.
