About
Many of our guests who travel from the mainland find themselves waking up well before the Hawaiian sunrise with nothing to do. Being on the water to enjoy sunrise is a great way to start your day in paradise.
While we can guarantee fresh donuts and pastries and great coffee. Dolphins are special treat when they swim with our boat. Unfortunately, wild dolphins are not well trained and will only show up randomly to jump off our bow. Dolphins are more regular visitors on our Westside Oahu excursions.
This is a two-hour excursion that leaves the dock at 6:00AM. Boarding starts at 5:30AM – Trust me, this sunrise cruise is worth it and the perfect way to start your day!
Includes
- Fresh local pastries & fruit
