Small groups joining our expedition allow for a personal and intimate tour.

Dolphins, whale songs and sounds of the sea provide a natural background to our naturalist Captain's Hawaiian folklore and history. Possible sightings of manta rays, turtles and other marine life add to the adventure as you bounce through the waves on this exhilarating and fun expedition. The quick moving and agile Zodiac rafts provide excitement that has made them recognized worldwide as the best way to explore the marine environment.
