This was worth every penny! Great guides, snacks, and sights! There were. So many dolphins - it was unbelievable!
The captain and Bri were both great. Very informative excursion and fun. We saw a lot of dolphins, some turtles, and heard a bit of history about Hawaii including local legends. Educational and wonderful trip. Highly recommend!
Very good activity. We appreciate all kindly help and service. We strongly recommend this tour. Our family very enjoy it.
Captain Zack and deckhand Cy were amazing!!! They were knowledgeable, kind, funny and my kids loved them!!! We booked this activity last minute and we do not regret it!! So much fun, saw tons of dolphins and even cleaned up some trash in the ocean!! If I could give 100 stars I would!
Outstanding trip: we saw late-season humpbacks (female, offspring, two trailing males) plus a dolphin escort, in addition to the spinner dolphins more usually seen this time of year (early to mid-May). The pilot and assistant were knowledgeable about these mammals and their behaviors, and knew where to look for them. And the assistant dispensed snacks and beverages besides--much appreciated!
Captain Jack and Nicole did an awesome job. They did a great job explaining the island and the sea life. We got to see whales and dolphins upclose. Captain Jack did a great job making sure folks on the boat were comfortable and not getting to green in the waves.
We had the most amazing time. We saw a pod of 200 hawaiian spinner dolphins. absolutely stunning the captain and 1st mate where great made the whole trip perfect
Well worth the price! Saw lots of spinner dolphins and it was the best ever! I recommend it highly! Saw a lot of dolphins! FUN!
The crew was fantastic. Very informative and funny. Was amazed by the number of dolphins we saw. So glad we did this.
Amazing experience. Saw many pods of dolphins and our tour guides were amazing and knowledgeable. I wish encounters were a little closer but with boat engines I don’t blame dolphins shying away. Had a really good time.
