Far more than just a normal snorkeling tour provider, this Leeward Coast company provides its customers with quality marine experiences.. In Short
Headquartered on Oahu's quiet, spectacular Leeward Coast, Wild Side enjoys an ideal base from which to venture out on world-class snorkeling, whale watching and dolphin encounters. Trips often include breathtaking views of monk seals, sea turtles, manta rays and sea birds. Tour groups are kept small, ensuring a relaxed vibe and a personal touch. The crew includes many marine biologists and animal experts, all of whom are pleased to share their knowledge and provide a bit of education alongside some fun.

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. They take you out on their 42 foot catamaran for up-close and personal encounters with Hawaiian Spinner dolphins, maybe even a chance to get into the water and swim with them. The dolphins, turtles and tropical fish are not caged in an enclosure, you are actually with them in their own environment! If you are worried about disturbing their environment (like me) don't worry, WSST follows strict environmental business practices and rules to minimize disturbance to marine wildlife and habitats. While having your vacation with WSST you can also be contributing to the environment because s portion of your fees are donated to the Wild Dolphin Foundation for marine conservation and research. If a nature connection is what you seek, let Wild Side Specialty Tours take you on that journey.

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.
