The northwestern coast is the most secluded part of Oahu, and is only accessible via hiking, helicopter or by boat. It's also the best place to see dolphins, whales and other marine life. Experience this wonderful place with our dolphin watching and snorkeling cruise. Looking for a great sunset cruise and you still want to go snorkeling? We will take you to see a sunset where the sun actually sets into the ocean.
But first, experience an hour of snorkeling and dine on a hot Hawaiian buffet and maybe a Mai Tai or two! Looking for a one-of-a kind experience to celebrate a birthday, retirement, wedding reception or maybe just an exclusive cruise for you and your loved ones? Let us take you on a customized experience you and your guests will never forget! Oahu's only marine vessel designed exclusively for the best ocean activity experience.
A cruise isn't just about where you're going snorkeling or how many dolphins you see. It's also about the boat you're on, and it doesn't get any better than being on the Kai Oli'Oli - one of the best tour vessels in operation today.

Kai 'Oli'Oli translates to "joy on the ocean."
In ancient Hawaii, a name was chosen because of a specific feeling that would follow a spirit.
Wanting to express the true nature of our boat, our crew, and our adventures with guests, Kai 'Oli'Oli, or "ocean joy" was the perfect fit!
The Kai 'Oli'Oli is Hawaii's most state-of-the-art power catamaran in its class!
Made of high-tech fiberglass composite, the Kai 'Oli'Oli is one of the strongest tour boats in operation.
Unlike most sail catamarans, our stainless steal railings completely enclose the boat deck, providing the utmost safety for our guests, including our little keiki (children).

We are blessed to live and operate on the Wai'anae Coast of O'ahu, Hawai'i.
We happen to share this pristine coastline with several resident pods of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins.
They live and play on this side of the island and we are honored to be able to witness them in their natural environment.
Sadly, over the years we've seen a growth in swim-with-dolphins tours here on our coast.
These tours insist on dropping people directly into the path of these wild animals.
Scientists say this invasive activity is the likely cause for a noticeable decline in Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin sightings and activity.
