We loved being in a smaller boat where we were all welcomed and treated like ohana. We saw a large pod of spinner dolphins right out of the harbor and got great photos and videos. Snorkeling on the reef was amazing as well, and we saw several sea turtles. The boat was clean, the food was good, and the crew was fantastic.

It was the best outing of four different activities we purchased through Viator. The crew, boat, transportation and experience was the best!!! Worth every dollar. Mahalo for the genuine, humble and kind treatment.

I would not recommend it. It was expensive and unfortunately, no one got to see dolphins. We sailed non-stop for pretty much the entire 3 hours. I was told morning crews do get to see dolphins however afternoon crews don't. If afternoon crews don't, then they shouldn't offer it to begin with. It would have been nice if they informed me about it prior to booking this. They shouldn't charge an insane amount if not guaranteed. We got to snorkel for 30 minutes out of the 3 hours. It would have been nice if we got to snorkel for at least an hour.

Thank you for joining our dolphin watching tour. Sorry for you didn’t see any dolphins. Since dolphins are wild, there is no 100% guarantee and they are not fed animals, they do not stay in the same place all day. Unfortunately, on this day, we got to see dolphins on the morning tour, but we couldn’t find any dolphins on the afternoon tour. However, on this day, we encountered a family of two humpback whales. Mom and baby! After that, we snorkeled at turtle and tropical fish spots and returned to the harbor. Once again, sorry for you could not see your expectations but appreciate your understanding of Hawaiinei. Mahalo nui Julie
