I was extremely disappointed with the dolphin encounter package. They really make it seem like you will be swimming with the dolphins. As soon as you get on the boat the captain and employee tell you that you can't swim with them because they'll get a $1000 fine for each person. We basically spent $300 for a boat ride and to snorkel with fish for 30 minutes. All the fish at the reef were ones we already saw at Kikaua Point Park. When we were on the water we saw plenty of other tours going on where people were swimming with the dolphins. The company will not refund you or even email you back! I felt bad for the captain and the employee because they were put in an awkward place of having to tell everyone the bad news. The employee had said she had asked management to change their website multiple times.

Awful time. We were told we’d be able to swim with dolphins on the phone before booking. Every single person on our tour expected to swim with the dolphins and were told they’d be able to enter the water with them. Their website is literally called swimwithdolphinsandmantas.com. Right before departing on the boat the captain told us it was illegal to swim with the dolphins and we were not allowed to enter the water with them. The entire boat could not believe it. The captain claimed it was a $1,000.00 fine per person if they were caught letting us swim near dolphins. Regardless he went up and down the coast looking for dolphins. After a few hours of wasting my valuable vacation time we found three other charters in a huge pod of dolphins. Everyone on their charters were having the time of their life swimming with dolphins. Our captained refused to go near them fearing to get a ticket. He said we could get out and swim to them. He parked 1/4 mile away from them and told us to swim, without life jackets. Like idiots the entire tour swam towards them in 50 feet of water, but they were long gone when we got anywhere close to them. The other tours moved with the pods. He told us to get back on the boat. When we did he said there is no way to get near the dolphins. We watched as all three charters moved and got in front of this enormous pod of dolphins, then entered with them. You could literally see how much fun they were having as we drove off completely unsatisfied. He then drove another 30 minutes and told us to snorkel in 30 feet of water with huge waves and a strong current. It was awful. Overall I paid $300.00 for my wife and I to take a boat ride and snorkel in rough water for 30 minutes. Since then they have ignored my emails and calls. Looking at all the other reviews I see there is no chance I will be getting a refund. If you want to swim with dolphins book another tour. If you want to swim with mantas book with Aloha Kayaks. We used them earlier in the trip and it was amazing and the staff was beyond friendly. Ocean Encounters are thieves and liars, beware.

The crew were very friendly. They made several attempts to get close to the dolphins until they suceeded. It was worth seeing the dolphins even though I didn't get in the water.
