Hoku Nai’a, meaning “Star Dolphin” in Hawaiian, is a U.S. Coast Guard certified catamaran custom built in 2007 for eco-friendly dolphin watching. With her capacity and facilities, we introduced wild dolphin watching as a true Hawaiian eco-tour for all ages®.
Wai’anae was chosen as the best location for our cruises. Shielded by the tallest mountain range on Oahu , its waters are not dirtied by rain runoff, creating high visibility and one of the most ideal habitats for marine life. Also, its distance from the city keeps it a secluded and unspoiled snorkeling spot.
Dolphin Guarantee: We typically see a few pods of dolphins (40-70) daily, with a 98% record of sightings in 2010. In the case of no sightings however, you will receive a “Dolphin Check” to cruise again (meal, transportation and snorkel optional).
Our Crew: of Captains and Certified Naturalists love what they do, and are excited to share their knowledge and create a memorable “dolphin experience” for you! In addition, they are trained beyond requirements to ensure your safety. Meet our ‘Ohana!
Our Commitment: We work with local boards and marine and environmental authorities toward the best interest of the community and environment. Learn more about us. |
