About this tour

Set out from Oahu’s western shore for a lively ocean adventure, with wild dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles, and a waterslide all in the mix. This 3.5-hour Oahu Dolphin and Turtle Snorkel Tour follows the scenic Waianae coastline, where you may spot dolphins before heading to Makaha Beach to snorkel among turtles and colorful reef fish.

Between swims, enjoy lunch on board and make the most of the boat’s water activities: slide into the sea, paddleboard, kayak, or unwind on a floating mat. Snorkeling gear, drinks, shaded areas, and two restrooms are available on board. You’ll also hear a traditional Oli prayer and learn about Hawaiian culture, then warm up after your time in the water with green tea, hot cocoa, and an onboard hot shower.

Dolphin swimming is fast-paced and best suited to advanced snorkelers and swimmers. The tour runs rain or shine, and complimentary transportation is available from select Waikiki and Ko Olina hotels by arrangement. Choose this Oahu Dolphin and Turtle Snorkel Tour for an active day on the water, with plenty of ways to enjoy the coast.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.76 from 89 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.3. Top 13% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in Oahu by this score.
