This activity was great but not what I was expecting and I am not sure I'd do it again. They pick you up in a nice big bus, windows have a weird tinting so don't expect to take pictures while on the road. The tours are a mix of English and Japanese so there is a translator for both languages. The crew set you up with snorkeling gear quickly when you get to the boat. I brought my own gear. Everyone gets a lovely life vest to wear when getting into the water. The boat was filled with people and it felt a little tight. If you think you might get sea sick sit in the open area, not in the shaded area. The crew kept us entertained while the captain looked for dolphins. It was sort of relaxing looking at the beautiful coast from the water. A crew member handed out a "snack" one small chunk of pineapple. We went up the coast and then raced almost back to were we started before finding dolphins. Then it was rush rush rush to get us all into the water and swimming to find the dolphins. We swam all around and able to see several dolphins swim along under us. The guide shouted "look down" repeatedly in English and Japanese. The dolphins are half asleep while we were watching them swim by. They do this on purpose since they are moving slower. After all of us got back in the boat we went over to the snorkel spot. They quickly inflated the slide and it was inflated for what seemed like 10 minutes before they deflated it and put it away. I saw few fish when snorkeling. Soon we were all back on the boat. The crew quickly handed out cheese burgers (tasted like meatloaf), packets of condiments and bags of chips. They quickly gathered the trash/wrappers, had groups take mandatory pictures, and then put temporary tattoos on everyone. I felt very rushed, maybe we spent too much time looking for dolphins. But we got to see wild dolphins swim, while being in the water.

Thank you for your review! We are sorry if the tour felt rushed towards the end. We swim with wild dolphins and somedays we find them very quickly, other days it can take longer for us to find them. We appreciate your feedback, aloha.
