It was fantastic from the tour guides, to the scenery to the wildlife. If you do anything in Honolulu, it better be this!

This activity and the staff of Dolphins and You are unparalleled! I took this cruise FOUR times! The first day was windy, gray, and misty. The ocean was rough. A few of the passengers had to make use of the plastic beach pails on board for seasick passengers. We didn't come across any dolphins, but it was my first time snorkeling, and I really liked it. The staff was unflaggingly friendly and accommodating. They have a "shtick" at the beginning of each tour during which they introduce themselves and engage the passengers, but none of the staff was cynical and they all clearly love their jobs. After the snorkeling part, the staff performs hula for the passengers, which was lovely. I was determined to see dolphins and I loved both being on the boat and snorkeling, so I took the tour three more times! Everyone told me it was exceptionally rare not to see dolphins, so I guess I was exceptionally unlucky to not see them until the fourth cruise! Nevertheless, I enjoyed each one of the tours.

Although my husband and I did not have a good experience, I would have rated this tour a 5, due to the amazing crew and itinerary of the tour! Unfortunately our tour got canceled due to rain/floods/choppy waters, and the next day we rebooked despite the rain forecast. Our tour guides did not cancel the trip on our second attempt, because it was expected to clear up by the time we got out to the water. Needless to say, the weather did not clear up and we did not get to see the dolphins, but what was so amazing was that our crew seemed more disappointed about us not seeing the dolphins then the tourists themselves (possibly because the choppy waters made half the boat sea sick and everyone was too busy trying not to lose their stomachs. I luckily bought the PSI bands which helped tremendously and I was thankfully spared the malady that struck our boat, almost comically.) Our crew was AMAZING! They staid upbeat, positive, and fun, despite the rain and chill, they did their utmost best to seek out the dolphins, and when we had no luck they still did their best to bring out the fun water activities and take great professional underwater pictures of us snorkeling with the beautiful fish and turtles. We also got to spot a few whales at least which was super cool. The crew did their best on the return journey to make it light and enjoyable by entertaining us with their best hula moves and music. I was definitely disappointed that we didn't get to snorkel with the dolphins but we accepted the voucher for 50% off on our next time in Hawaii, and I would of course try it again, with hopefully better weather and better luck.

Hadassa, Your review of the tour really made my day. :-) . We always say that our crew is one of the things that makes our dolphin swim tour heads-and-tails above the rest, and a review like this makes us super happy. I'm glad they were able to give you a great experience despite the weather issues. Definitely do please try to come back and swim with us the next time you're in Hawaii. And while you're at it, be sure to check out some of our other tours too. :-) . We love showing people the aloha spirit and the natural beauty of Hawaii, and would be honored to have the chance to do it again for you and your husband. Much mahalo!
