Oahu · WILDLIFE
Good wildlife trips fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Review of Waikiki’s 2.5-hour snorkel cruise with turtles, dolphins, a slide, trampoline, snacks, and family-friendly ocean fun.
“Awesome trip. Beautiful location. Great team, they were knowledgeable and fun. Our kids had a blast on the slide and trampoline. The team was awesome, they were super kind and interacted/played games with the kids.”
Private Oahu boat tour for up to six with fast cruising, snorkeling, turtles, dolphins, whales, and south-shore views.
“Great way to spend time with your family and have a more intimate experience with aquatic life on your own timeline. The crew was great; knowledgeable, and friendly (but not loud and overly chatty like a tour guide). They were right on time and knew great spots to go to snorkeling. We got to see a large dolphin pod swim right next to the boat. We were able to stay as long or as little time as desired in each spot. Boat was in really good condition and parking was easy. We would definitely go again with this company.”
Snorkel Waikiki’s coral reef, ride a 20-foot waterslide, bounce on a trampoline, and cruise toward Diamond Head with wildlife sightings.
“The staff were kind, competent and knowledgeable. They helped us make our young child with swim anxiety find her calm.”
Review of MANA's private Ko Olina whale watch on a 32-foot World Cat, with hydrophone sounds, snacks, expert crew, and family-friendly service.
“Captain Mark & First Mate Marco gave us an experience of a lifetime. Our party had overlapped activities, and they thankfully accommodated us to fit this experience into our schedule. It's always been my dream to rent a boat to go swimming, and they made it come true. Not to mention, their patience with our children was incredible. My nephew wanted to fish and we almost caught a huge fish. If not for the fact that we had reservations for another experience, we would've extended our time happily. If you're looking for an intimate excursion with friendly experts, look no further. Thank you, MANA, Capt. Mark and Marco for memories…”
