Eco-tour information The Pacific Whale Foundation is an active player in protecting the habitats of marine life and ecosystems endemic to Hawaii, including endangered and threatened species such as green sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Each crew member is a trained naturalist and offers insights into marine life behavior and habitat; plus, they play games with kids to entertain and foster interest in marine life. The cue card fish, coral, and mammal discussion is often as educational as the snorkeling instructions are useful, especially if you are new to snorkeling and swimming in Hawaiian waters.
