Our introductory "Morning Wildlife Cruise"
7:30am check-in - 11:00 return, $115

Waianae Small Boat Harbor, aboard the Island Spirit

With a focus on value and sustainability, we provide each and every traveler with a different and exciting experience we hope you will not soon forget.

• Dolphin encounters


• Swimming with Dolphins (Mother Nature willing). Includes pre-encounter briefings on dolphin behavior and "wet-iquette (how to swim with wild dolphins)".


• Whale watching (seasonal)


• Snorkel with sea turtles and reef fish


• Snorkel gear and flotation devices provided for all to ensure an enjoyable, safe, comfortable and family friendly snorkeling experience.


• 16 passengers max per cruise, less than 1/2 of the USCG's documented vessel capacity. Roam freely around the boat, lay on trampolines and get close enough to (almost!) touch dolphins riding the bow, sit and talk to captain in the shade, or lounge inside the cabin between activities. Ample dry storage areas and a private bathroom with plenty of room to change clothes.


• Hydrophone to listen to whales and dolphins...


• Easy in and out of the water with the Island Spirit's staircase ladder.


• Boat fully refitted Oct. 2011

Notice: Wild Side (complete terms and agreements) reserves the right to substitute vessels, and to seasonally modify departure and arrival times. Due to our popularity and limited group sizes, cancellations within less than 10 day notice and "No Shows" are subject to full charge. Prices quoted do not include state tax, harbor fees or fuel surcharge.

Although our sighting rates are at 90+% we cannot guarantee sightings, interaction with wild dolphins whales, snorkeling, nor ideal weather conditions. We reserve the right to not facilitate in-water OR shipboard encounters which we feel may compromise the well-being of our guests or oceanic wildlife. All passengers are required to wear flotation devices.
