Boat tours along the leeward coast offer some of the best wild dolphin and sea turtle encounters in Hawaii. Spinner dolphins frequently swim alongside and under the boats in pods of dozens. Several operators also stop at snorkeling reefs where sea turtles are almost guaranteed. The leeward coast is drier and calmer than other parts of Oahu making for comfortable boat conditions. Seeing dolphins leap and spin in the wild is one of those magical moments that stays with kids forever. Choose operators who follow responsible wildlife viewing guidelines.
