Mahalo and Aloha Why choosing Hawaii Nautical makes a difference: We believe in delivering service, safety, and the spirit of Aloha day in and day out. We respect the ocean and the ecosystem, and follow strict guidelines so that all marine mammals and wildlife are protected. We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow, and for every tomorrow after. That s why we are Hawaii s first Dolphin Smart-recognized operator. NOAA s Dolphin Smart educates guests about dolphin conservation and harassment and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild. We also follow the guidelines of the Coral Reef Alliance, to establish lasting change and promote coral reef health around the world. That includes sustainable practices such as no fish-feeding. Coral conservation aims to save these valuable ecosystems and preserve cultural identity. We honor the host-culture and support the local communities in which we operate. A portion of proceeds helps many worthy causes, including the Hawaii Nautical Marine Life Foundation to foster environmental conservation across Hawaii; and E Ala The Awakening an authentic Hawaiian voyaging canoe is making its return to West Oahu. 4.712% tax applies to all rates.
