We went on the Best of the West tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across a pod of spinner dolphins and shortly thereafter we were in the water with them. Later, we swam with sea turtles and spent time with pods of spotted dolphins and... more

This trip was incredible. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentative. Wish we could have stayed out all day. We did several activities while in Hawaii and I have traveled a variety of places. Can't think of any experience that will top this one! more

We really enjoyed the Best of the West tour that we took in mid-November. The guides were very knowledgeable, safety concious and respectful of sea life. We were thrilled to see the first humpback whale of the season, and swimming with the dolphins and sea turtles was amazing. The guides made sure everyone got the most from the experience. They... more

We took the Morning Wildlife Cruise with Wild Side on November 1, 2009. We had a great time. We were a party of 6 (Parents, 2 kids and Grandparents). Our crew was fantastic - great with the kids, very knowledgeable about the area as well as the marine life we would encounter. The dolphins were moving too fast that day... more

We were able to have a quick swim with the spinner dolphins before they moved on. We also swam near the reef where the turtles were and had a wonderful... more

very knowledgable and friendly staff, highly recommended, we swam with spinner dolphins, turtles, and got up close with spotted dolphins. Tres cool! Tori, Melissa, and Fitz were great. Very highly recommended. Very comfortable, non pushy atmosphere. my wife is not a water person and she loved it. more

The excursion was one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. The captain and tour head were friendly and fun. Their approach to the marine life and ecosystem was refreshingly respectful. We got multiple oppurtunities to swim along side the dophin pods, oberserve them, and listen to their sonar. Then we went to the reef to... more
