We didn't get off to a great start when the bus came to collect, the team weren't expecting us which made us feel really bad, even though it was clearly an error on their side. The journey to the west coast took ages ( 1.5 hours)
When on board, the team were super fun, hats off to them all for really going for it. They were really approachable, plenty of them and they seemed to genuinely have a great time.
Dolphins; we only saw them for approximately 20-30 seconds, and in fairness they did do another drop near the dolphins again, but they are so fast again you only see them for a short period by the time you get off the boat. I would have much prefered to have spent more time looking for the dolphins and swimming near them than surplus time near 1 turtle.
The burger was delicious, and entertainment really fun and.. entertaining!
Overall, this is a great a tour, perhaps a little expensive. Would I recommend it? Yes, I would, I would also recommend buying the photos if you are in a group of 4+ as they cost $90, which I think is too expensive for 2 people on top of the cost for the trip.

Aloha and Mahalo for your 4-Star review! We wish we could spend all day with dolphins, too! But as a Hawaii Ecotourism Association certified tour, a big responsibility of ours is making the dolphins as comfortable as possible. If we do more than a few drops with them, it starts to make them a bit stressed out. So as much as we adore the experience, we also do our best to allow the dolphins to continue their regular resting schedule undisturbed as much as possible.
We're thrilled you had a fun time with our crew and enjoyed the lunch and entertainment! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have you on board again some day. The dolphins are different every day, so you might consider coming back again some day to see if you catch them on a day where they are a little slower or more curious. We'd love to have you on board again!
