Morning
Schools of spinner and bottlenose dolphins, and, from November to March, pods of humpback whales are readily seen just off the Wai’anae Coast. Several cruise companies offer dolphin-watching excursions Several cruise companies offer dolphin-watching excursions in various craft usually with small numbers of passengers. The excursions depart from Wai’anae Boat Harbor or Ko Olina Marina. Most offer transport from Waikīkī hotels, though you can choose to pick up the tour at the harbor. You will have to get up early, because the boats usually depart promptly at 7am.
Wild Side Specialty Tours (www.sailhawaii.com, 306 7273) offers a whale-and dolphin-watching cruise aboard a 42-foot catamaran. It is operated by marine researchers who believe that sail-powered vessels are less disruptive to the animals.

Ko Olina’s lagoons
Afternoon
For a Mediterranean-style lunch after your cruise, try Azul in Ko Olina (see Roy’s Ko Olina).
If you’re traveling with kids who want to emulate the dolphins, you can spend the rest of the day at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park . Less energetic members of the party can relax in the café or lie in shallow water away from the screaming action.
