What to Expect

Our Deepest Ocean Connections

Go farther. Stay longer. Discover more.

Wildlife In Depth is our ultimate six-hour ocean safari, created for guests who want more time, more range, and the opportunity to experience Oʻahu's remarkably diverse marine environment beyond the usual coastal tour.

  • Approximately 6 hours on the water, from early morning into midday
  • 10 guests maximum on shared charters
  • 4-guest minimum on shared departures — smaller parties are welcome and we'll do our best to match you with others
  • Private charters available for groups of up to 16 guests
  • Expert marine naturalists, biologists and wildlife guides
  • Extended range into nearshore and offshore habitats
  • Guided snorkeling when wildlife, conditions and guest ability allow
  • Local-style light brunch, snacks and drinks

With six hours to work with, our crew can follow the day's wildlife activity rather than a predetermined route. Depending on season and conditions, the journey may range from clear coastal reefs and sea turtle habitat to the deeper blue around FADs, underwater ledges, seamounts and areas of upwelling.

Our small groups sell out quickly. Reserve early to avoid missing out.

Food allergies? Please let us know the type and severity in advance. Guests with severe allergies should consider bringing their own food and EpiPens.
