About this experience
Venture Whale Watch + Snorkel departs from Ko Olina Marina and travels along the West Oahu coastline in search of Northern Pacific Humpback Whales. The tour runs seasonally, from mid-December through the end of March, so it fits travelers visiting Oahu during that window who want to combine whale watching with time in the water.
The trip splits between scanning the ocean for marine life and snorkeling at a spot the captain selects based on conditions. From the boat, passengers may spot Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Pilot Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins, and Flying Fish. In the water, snorkelers may encounter tropical fish, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, and eels. A hydrophone lets the group listen to sounds in the water.
Snorkel gear and instruction are provided, along with light snacks, iced water, Hawaiian juices, coconut water, and Hawaiian Style Chips. A certified captain and crew run the trip. Fishing equipment is also on board, though a State of Hawaii Fishing License is required to use it.
