Overall this is a great snorkeling tour being able to see plenty of fish and turtles. The whole crew was very friendly and also provided some great entertainment and excitement. There is many more things to say but the main thing that I feel is missing is the fact that YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS SEE DOLPHINS WHILE SNORKELING and THE DOLPHINS WILL NOT GET CLOSE TO YOU WHILE SNORKELING. Anyone of these 2 could happen, in my case we saw maybe about 10 dolphins in total(they basically to go all around the bay until there are dolphins and stop to let you snorkel, and when the dolphins leave they just keep taking you to other places). The dolphins were pretty far away, maybe around 15 to 20 ft away. And there really aren’t many of them at a time. I brought my GoPro with me in the water and when I showed the picture I took of the dolphins he told me he thought it was completely fake because of how small and far away the dolphins were. I can’t really hate on the company though, everything was great and the dolphins are wild and in their natural habitat there is no way to control what happens to them, the company can’t make them swim to you. What I’m saying is that there is no guarantee that you will see dolphins and if you do that they will come to get close and personal with you. I felt that was not clarified enough while reading the reviews prior to booking this tour.

Aloha Michael, Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your feedback. As you mentioned, we have no control over how many wild dolphins come our way or how close they come because it is not a captive encounter. We are incredibly blessed that on frequent occasions we see groups of dolphins more than 50+ strong. And we are sometimes treated to the unreal experience of dolphins coming very close to us. But we can never guarantee this. We want this experience to be around for generations to come, and that means the interaction has to be on the dolphins' terms. We hope that your experience with the dolphins in their natural environment was still memorable. We also recommend checking out the 'Buy Photos' link on our website. The dolphins may look very small on your GoPro screen, but our professional photographers do a great job of capturing high-quality photos on those days that smaller cameras and GoPros cannot get. We would love to see you again someday if you would like to have a chance at seeing them closer in the future! Please feel free to reach out to our management if you head back to Hawaii. We're so glad to hear you had a good time with our crew. Mahalo nui loa, Dolphins and You

Highlight of our trip so far!! Highly recommend this tour, the crew were friendly and informative, the boat was in excellent condition and the food was great! We swam with about 30 dolphins, a sea turtle, beautiful fish and even saw 2 whales along the way! Shout out to Rebecca, Mel and Karen for being super hosts!!

Amazing trip! They were so well organized and fun! We swam with a huge pod of dolphins. The day was amazing- evening the lunch was pretty good. Highly recommended- one of the coolest parts of our trip to Hawaii.
