Pacific Whale Foundation - Lanai
The Pacific Whale Foundation offers a variety of trips that regularly spot dolphins. Dolphins unlike the whales do not migrate and are found in the waters of Hawaii year round. They normally travel in large groups called “pods” that can contain as many as two hundred dolphins. The Pacific Whale Foundation offers snorkel trips aboard their large power catamarans that journey over to the island of Lanai and they have a smaller catamaran just for sightseeing and spotting dolphins. Lanai is known locally to be one of the best places to go to see the dolphins and Pacific Whale Foundation runs into them about eighty percent of the time they go there. The Pacific Whale Foundation is known for their commitment to marine conservation and raising people’s awareness levels. You will find marine naturalists onboard their trips that are available to offer narration and answer questions throughout.
