Ko Olina Snorkeling Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Picnic Lunch and Drinks / Sail & Snorkel Tour
Nice afternoon out on the catamaran
We took the afternoon dolphin watch cruise that set sail at 1pm. Saw some sea turtles and a dolphin pod from afar. The snorkelling was nothing great...lots of reef fishes and mostly dead coral. Being prone to motion sickness, I was elated at how wonderfully stable the catamaran was, and for once I actually enjoyed sailing instead of spending half my time being sick over the rails. In spite of my disappointment at not seeing dolphins up close, the afternoon turned out to be a really pleasant cruise along the beautiful Ko Olina coastline. The staff were attentive and friendly. My 3 year son threw a fit when I got him out of the choppy waters during the snorkelling session. Kudos to the staff who successfully quietened him down by giving him bread to feed the fishes from the back of the ship. Food was great. Pulled pork sandwiches, chips and fruit salad were delicious. All in all, a lovely afternoon.

Thanks Mary for the great review, and coming out with us! I'm glad you were able to enjoy our tropical waters and the hard coral that we have in Hawaii. Our waters are cooler than what you would experience in the Caribbean, so we don't feature the fanning type of coral- mostly the brain, and other types of more rock looking features. Did you know that 30% of our fish can only be found in Hawaii? Anyway, just thought we would share some fun facts. We love our jobs and glad we were able to share a great day with you. Take care and Aloha! Ko Olina Ocean Adventures
