The crew was family friendly and a lot of fun. There were some great pictures captured on the trip and we were able to see dolphins right away. Had a good time with the slide, paddle boards, and snorkeling with the family. The swimming with the Dolphins part is a little chaotic since they are wild creatures in their natural habitat and you have to get in the water fast if you want to see them. Our first siting came as the dolphins played in the wake of the boat. Once the boat stopped it was a somewhat organized mad dash to the "spotter". Given that dolphins swim vastly faster than we do, it was some exercise to get to a spot to see them, but we did. Everyone had inflatable life vests and while it was hard to keep up with the dolphins, we had no problem keeping afloat. There is a jump off the back of the boat that made my 12 year old nervous at first, but after the first time he was fine. There was apparently a video on the bus, but we missed that since we met at the Marina.

I simply cannot give enough praise to do this group justice! This tour is the reason we traveled to Hawaii, to swim with dolphins in the wild, without disturbing or harming them. I was a little worried after a few recent reviews mentioned crowds/chaos, but most reviews are very good, and we decided to stick with our booking. So, so glad we did! The guides are young and energetic and so very friendly and helpful. I forgot to bring a hair elastic and asked Karen if there were any extra, by any chance - this young girl, without hesitation, reached up and took one of her own hair elastics out and gave it to me!! I was so touched and grateful! That is how everyone and everything was on this trip. I am a good swimmer and very comfortable in the water, but my husband is not. We were given clear instructions on safety and how to ask for help. During the first snorkel session, when we saw the dolphins, my husband got too tired - we signaled for help and within seconds one of the wonderful guides swam up with a floatation device and escorted him back to the ship. I can't remember her name, unfortunately, but big, big thanks to her, and also to Mike and Oliver, for being so careful and keeping everyone safe. The photographer, whose name I also can't remember (sorry) was just fantastic and got some amazing pictures! I absolutely recommend buying the photo package - well worth the price! The second snorkel session is very laid back and relaxed and I saw lots of pretty fish and a sea turtle! After all the lovely rocking of the waves and so much excitement, I was so relaxed on the way back! The entertainment was fun too, and the burger very, very tasty! Overall, just an absolutely wonderful trip - if you are wondering if you should go, don't think twice - do it! Note - I will say that we had a relatively small group - I think there were 32 people. I think the maximum is 70, and I can see that might have been pretty crowded, but I still think the terrific guides would have been able to make the experience just as wonderful with a bigger group. Just listen to the directions (given in both English and Japanese) and try to relax and experience it - this is coming from someone who has a very hard time relaxing - it's just a lovely experience all around!

This tour was fantastic! We did the early morning tour and Mel was the photographer. If you pre-purchased the photographer or video package you get 10% off the price. The tour boat was clean, well maintained and all of the crew were friendly. The snorkeling was fantastic- even for someone new who has never snorkeled before. The crew made sure i was the first off the boat at the second location as i hadn't gotten to see any dolphins at the first location. the lunch provided was adequate - not a huge lunch and you do work up an appetite but for a quick and tasty feed it was fine. I would definitely go again with this company and would recommend them to all
