Take Your Next Vacation On The Wild Side. Have you visited Hawaii, or encountered marine wildlife, where they live - in the wild? Wild Side Specialty Tours is located on Oahu, they offer personalized dolphin excursions, sea turtle encounters, and sunset cruises.

Best whale. dolphin watching, and snorkel adventure on Oahu.
Marine biologists who care about the wildlife and the rural host community make this an adventure that gives you a Hawaiian sense of place. They have chosen to keep the passenger numbers down on the
catamaran creating a setting for immediate friendships among strangers, and to ensure the best experience possible for both people and the wildlife encountered. Wildlife encounters? Magnificent, surreal, safe.
The crew was friendly and professional. The tour was, for us, an enriching and educational
experience. There were only 8 passengers on the boat for our tour.
The highlight of our tour was seeing the dolphins at play, of course, but snorkeling with the beautiful sea turtles, fish and coral reef was certainly a highlight of activities that we have experienced in Hawaii. That turtle cleaning station on the reef was absolutely amazing! At one point, we saw six adult sea turtles and one youngster on the rock, all at the same time!
"Breathtaking" just doesn't fully describe the experience. We would recommend this company to anyone looking for an eco-friendly, wildlife-friendly, and research-oriented tour company.…
