Ocean Trekker Expeditions - Epic Wildlife Adventures
NATURE - You've been apart from it, now be a part of it.
When three hour tours just arent enough (Trip too short!). In collaboration with the Wild Dolphin Foundation, Wild Side Specialty Tours' Ocean Trekker Expeditions offers a full or multi day journey above and under Hawaii's ocean world :
- Featured on the Today
Show, Jan. 21, 2004; Volunteer
Vacations helping wildlife, Organizations offer volunteers the
opportunity to get up close and personal with animals, while learning
about the world around them (look for the box listings.)
- To Immerse in the Natural Wonders of Hawaii, thereby Enhancing the Protection of Our Wild Lands and Ocean.
We accomplish this by inviting travelers from around the world to experience the whales, seabirds, turtles, and other wildlife of this place. - especially developed for the more enthusiastic visitors who want to observe and meet up with marine wildlife in an intensive way..
Studies have shown the health benefits of nature range from more rapid healing, to stress reduction, to improved mental performance and vitality - and that those benefits extend to a person's values and actions. Nature helps to connect people to their authentic selves.
- Relaxed snorkeling inside sheltered bays, home to vibrant tropical reef fish, many
 of which are endemic to Hawaii - found nowhere else in the world!
- A remarkable chance to be in the midst of "rare" (but common to us) dolphins, whales, turtles, and other exceptional marine life - Hawaii coastal waters are as an oasis in a huge oceanic desert.
- In what we like to call sight-doing, you're invited to participate “hands-on” in marine mammal surveys and photo-identifications in under-studied wildlife areas. Information gathered is passed on to research organizations and policy/decision makers.
-
Unique access to exploration of remote waters and island shores. So remote, that to ensure conservation and retain limited impact to wildlife, we don't list, nor advertise where we're heading to, but you'll sure know when we get there.
-
Data collection can include logs taken on dolphin behavior, photo id's, and as easy-as-they-are-fun surveys of coral reefs. With small groups of up to six people, each expedition is tailor-made.
-
There can be time available for individual discoveries and sight-sea-ing on islands visited.
- Nautilus' twin diesel engines provide a smooth superior ride. She looks beautiful on the outside and has all the comforts of home on the inside; air conditioning, stereo system, television, Flat-screen TV (DVD, satellite), full kitchen, beds and entertainment area w/ bar.
Life at Sea -
Boat, Crew and Living Details.... "How inappropriate to call  this planet Earth when it is quite clearly Ocean." Sir Arthur C. Clarke
