Koolina Ocean Adventures

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures is your passage to the finest Snorkeling and Dolphin Encounter Adventure Tours on Oahu, Hawaii. Swimming with dolphins in Hawaii is an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. In addition to your in-water wild dolphin encounter, you will snorkel among breathtakingly beautiful coral reefs, rainbows of colorful reef fish and friendly green sea turtles that inhabit Oahu’s pristine ocean waters. The pictures below are just a taste of what you can expect on your Oahu dolphin encounter and snorkeling adventure tour!

Swimming with Dolphins

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 view the dolphins, but with a policy of no touching, and no loud or disruptive behavior. Our swim with dolphins procedure is to have our snorkelers assume a passive float position. The longer you hold perfectly still, the longer your dolphin encounter will last. Experience Oahu’s wild spinner dolphins in the Hawaiian tradition of respect for these beautiful animals.

Swimming with fish at KoOlina

Captain Todd and Captain Mick were some of the first to pioneer safe and non-intrusive dolphin encounters and whale watching with these wonderful ocean creatures. They now count 14 years in operation, with thousands of amazed, happy and repeat customers attesting to their success. They, and the rest of our captains and crew, continue Ko Olina Ocean Adventure’s tradition in providing Hawaii’s visitors with an adventurous, fun, memorable and safe ocean experience. It’s an Oahu snorkeling tour you can’t miss!

Grand Circle Island

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors, but regulars love it, too. On your journey you will see the best of the best of Oahu. From the lush, green mountains to the clear blue waters, across the pineapple fields, and beyond. There’s no better way to experience the diversity of this beautiful island. The sights are accompanied by live narration from our friendly tour guides, so you’ll get interesting cultural and historical information along the way. (And don’t be surprised if you find yourself laughing and singing songs. This tour is anything but boring.) You’ll go to the 1,186-foot Pali Lookout, where King Kamehameha the Great fought his last battle, for a view that will blow you away. Or it may feel like it anyway, with robust winds that often sweep through the mountain pass, so hold on to your hat. World-famous North Shore surfing beaches are also on the tour, along with breathtaking Waimea Bay where giant waves break right on the shore, leaving behind their salty mist. You’ll also catch sight of Aloha Tower, which you may recall from the TV show Hawaii Five-O, and the familiar profile of the 750-foot Diamond Head volcano that has become a symbol for Hawaii throughout the years. This Oahu tour is grand indeed, and will not disappoint.
