Home to beautiful bays and quiet relaxation, set sail along Oahu’s Leeward Coast in search of dolphins, turtles and other tropical marine life. Snorkel at a calm anchorage and dive deep to seek out vibrant sights that exist below the shimmering surface. Refuel with lunch aboard your cruise, then enjoy a final adventure with the wild dolphins as they show you around their home. If you’re cruising between December and March, keep an eye out for the whales making their yearly migration!
