Certainly, a trip to Oahu will not be complete without having to wholly enjoy the warm, crystal clear waters of the Hawaiian Islands.
Sure, wading in the waters by the shore is already a fun and relaxing activity in itself, but you can actually only get to experience the beauty of Oahu’s seas to the fullest when you partake of an ocean adventure tour package away from the crowds on the beach, and closer to the precious animals that call this pristine ocean home. Come and join Dolphins and You for such an activity, particularly its Swim with Wild Dolphins Tour!
As can be gleaned from the tour name, Dolphin and You – Swim with Wild Dolphins Tour is an exceptional tour package that lets you and your companions get an up-close encounter with precious dolphins! Dolphins are gentle marine mammals that love to enjoy themselves in the water, and that said, make sure you keep your safe distance so that they continually enjoy your visit and not feel alarmed by your presence. The trained crew, guides, and life savers and free divers of Dolphin and You will surely share with you helpful tips for when you go snorkeling and swimming with these creatures, and will also be with you every step of the way.
In Dolphin and You – Swim with Wild Dolphins Tour, you are definitely in good hands, and in the most thrilling Oahu adventure there is!
Of course, this tour offers not only a one-of-a-kind dolphin encounter, but it also lets you in on the most breathtaking underwater views of the island. After swimming with the dolphins, you and your companions will be brought to the next location, where many other marine animals such as green sea turtles and tropical reef fish frequent! Here, prepare to see Oahu’s well-preserved coral reefs and rock formations, apart from the sea creatures enjoying themselves down under. Truly, this is a sight that you don’t get to experience everyday and thus should not be passed up on!
What’s also great about this tour is that it has a lot of other inclusions, as if the snorkeling adventure and marine life encounter are not enough! The vessel has a 20-foot slide that you will definitely enjoy sliding in, straight to the open water! Apart from this, you also get to sit back, relax, and enjoy Hawaiian cultural entertainment on board, as well as a delicious Hawaiian lunch.
