Wonderful experience with dolphins and turtles

Amazing experience and the best boat tour we’ve had by far! It was great way to culminate our trip before we fly off tomorrow. We saw spinner dolphins just within 5 minutes from leaving the harbour, then got to swim with pods of spotted dolphins an hour thereafter. The trip finished off with snorkelling with turtles and the small group experience is definitely worthwhile ! Both Shanti and Lucas were amazing!

Swimming with Turtles

Our experience was amazing! The small group size made it feel very personal and allowed for individualized attention. The crew was incredibly accommodating of everyone's different skill levels, abilities, and confidence, making sure each person felt comfortable and had a great time. This was the last activity of our trip before heading home, and it was the perfect way to end our vacation. It definitely did not disappoint, and I would highly recommend this experience! We saw dolphins, turtles, and puffer fish, in addition to many other fish. Captain Steph and Lucas were amazing; I could not have asked for a more experienced and friendly crew!

We had Lucas and Captain...

We had Lucas and Captain Stef as our guides. They were absolutely amazing! They made us all feel comfortable and explained every tiny step by step. We saw dolphins almost instantly and got to swim around with the pod 3 times! The reef experience was out of a movie. It was so majestic and magical. They ensured we saw everything we wanted to and more! I highly recommend this experience!

The absolute highlight of my entire trip to Oahu!

This experience was so incredible that I ended up booking it a second time just a few days later. Shanti and his team create truly unforgettable moments while searching for different species of dolphins, sea turtles, pilot whales and other marine life. Their knowledge, passion, and attention to detail are excepcional, and they always make sure every guest feels comfortable, informed and fully involved throughout the tour! All this while protecting and respecting the sea life! One thing that really sets Aloha Ocean apart is how much more private and personal the experience feels compared to many other tours on the island! Makes a HUGE difference. On top of the wildlife encounters, they also share really interesting insights about Oahu’s history and the coastline we were exploring, which added even more value to the tour. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. It was without a doubt an highlight, and I will definitely be back during the winter season for another adventure with Aloha Ocean 🤙🏼 Cheeeehoooooo!!

Great experience with dolphins.

Shanti and Lucas were great. They provided clear direction and we got to see multiple dolphins including a large pod. We also got to see some turtles. Both guides were knowledgeable about the area and animals. Thank you again. Oooweeee! 🤙

Great experience, top class crew, captain and boat.

This was a fantastic experience and I have nothing but positive things to say about the crew, the captain, the boat, the scenery, the time spent on the boat and in the water. The guides were great, we found lots of animals and swam with them. Highly recommend this captain and outfit. It's a small boat which I prefer.
