Speed Boat Swim with Dolphins
About This Experience
Here's your chance to experience the most thrilling speed boat swim with dolphins Honolulu has to offer. This 3-hour Advanced Dolphin Tour launches from Waianae Harbor aboard the Dolphin Warrior – what locals call "the 4x4 of the Ocean" – and takes you to Oahu's spectacular west side waters where the real magic happens.
The tour follows a strategic 3-drop approach that puts you right in the action. First, you'll slip into deep-water territory to swim alongside bottlenose and spotted dolphins in their natural habitat. Next comes dolphin watching with the acrobatic Hawaiian spinner dolphins, followed by pristine snorkeling spots where sea turtles, tropical fish, and vibrant reef life await. Between December and April, keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales cruising the Waianae Coast.
Choose your adventure time: morning departures at 7:30 AM or mid-day at 11:00 AM. Arrive 30 minutes early for check-in, which includes a traditional Hawaiian safety blessing called Oli and a thorough briefing from experienced marine guides who know these waters like the back of their hand.
Everything you need comes included – masks, fins, safety jackets, even prescription masks if needed. Wet suits run $10 for adults, $5 for kids (Venmo or credit card only). Pack your own food and drinks; alcohol's fine as long as it's not in glass containers.
