For the adventurous, join certified safety divers in swimming with whales, dolphins, turtles, and snorkeling coral reefs. With a max of six guests, enjoy intimate wildlife encounters.
Aboard our 34 ft. power cat, "Alaka'i," wander freely or secure a front-row seat for iconic photos. Enjoy shade, a private bathroom, and a homemade lunch with local flavors. Snacks and drinks available.
Rest assured, our interactions follow federal laws and are certified by the Whale and Cetacean Alliance. Our biologists maintain long-term relationships with non-profits and government agencies, ensuring ethical practices.
