Oahu · KO OLINA & LEEWARD OAHU TOURS
28 reviewed
West Oahu changes the departure point, the sea conditions and the drive from Waikiki. Ko Olina suits resort-coast boat days; farther leeward departures reward an early start and fewer crossings through Honolulu.

“I’m local so kinda snobby when it comes to choosing a touristy excursion. But as a local, this was the perfect choice for us! I had friends visiting from the mainland so we made the trek from Kailua to the west side… and we had so much fun! We had some awesome wildlife sightings, including a brand new baby humpback with his mom, and a rare sighting of rough tooth dolphins - plus a couple of juvenile sea turtles. Captain Nick along with his crew of Caden and Quin took great care of us and were full of knowledge! Highly recommend this catamaran on the west side!!”

“No pickup available for this tour. Seeing the whales do their tail popping out and anticipate where they appear is exciting. Not a lot of snack option but it’s okay. Staffs are amazing. Boat is fantastic. Felt a little bit sea sick, it would have been better if they have meds that we can purchase on board. All in all, it was a great day.”
