Wild Side Specialty Tours

Wild Side Specialty Tours

Experience intimate boat tours with expert naturalists, offering whale watching, dolphin swims, and snorkeling while supporting marine conservation in Hawaii.

OUR EXPERIENCES
Intimate 6-guest boat tours led by experienced naturalists conducting research efforts. These excursions provide a Jacques Cousteau-like experience. Three hour to full day blue-water tours provide opportunities for year-round whale watching, swimming with wild dolphins and snorkeling over coral reefs with giant sea turtles. Participation supports conservation efforts for marine species encountered, some highly endangered, all unique to Hawaii.

ABOUT US
Participants of our intimate, experiential and immersive journeys are considered our personal guests. By the end of their journey they should be joyful, enlightened, sensitive to the fragility of Hawaii’s marine environment, communities, and have a true sense of place.

OUR IMPACT
Working collaboratively with Cascadia Research Collective and other orgs we submit date gathered onboard to Malama Hawaii with citizen science. Photos taken of marine wildlife for abundance and distribution analysis, have led to the Hawaiian False Killer Whales, being granted endangered species status. We have given scholarships or otherwise donated to local organizations as Island Pacific Academy, Wild Dolphin Foundation, Hawaii Uncharted, Radiant Girls Hawaii, Make-A-Wish, Hawaii Ecotourism Association, Ma'o Farms and Kanu Hawaii, as well as sponsored school field trips aboard our vessels.
