Snorkeling and Dolphin sighting

This experience was absolutely wonderful! My amazing daughter requested something with dolphins and we found this trip as an option. Seeing dolphins was not a guarantee , as we learned on the ship, but we did see an amazing show of spinner dolphins playing with us and it was so fun to watch them. We wish we could have gotten in the water with them but it was too shallow in this location. Nonetheless it was still an extremely enjoyable experience! The snorkeling was crystal clear and it was super fun to go down the waterslide. Our crew members, Tim and Lucas, kept us entertained while going to and from harbor and they also answered any questions we had. Our captain, Shanti, was also wonderful. I would love to do this again, as would my daughter, and we highly recommend this experience to anyone interested.

The BEST experience & biggest BANG for your buck on Oahu!!!

Captain Stef was extremely knowledgeable about finding the dolphins for us all to jump off the boat and snorkel& swim near the WILD Dolphins… this was seriously the most action packed adventure, 100% worth the money spent, I would hands-down book swim and snorkel with the dolphins with this crew over and over again! The rest of the crew were extremely friendly, helpful & knew exactly how to make this a memorable experience for everyone whether you jumped off the boat or not. I cannot stop bragging about this being one of the best experiences I was able to share with my children and my husband —And we will be talking about it for years to come. We spent five days in Hawaii, and we booked this experience for an early Wednesday morning. Out of ALL the activities we booked through out our stay (and we booked a lot!) —this was my favorite activity, for the amount of money that we spent. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I seriously cannot thank y’all enough from the bottom of my heart. Huge MAHALO from the Rodriguez family, Carlos, Stefani, Isabell and Michael

it was a good experience, although we didn't get to swim with the Dolphins... however, my only complaint is I paid the money to get pictures and have yet to receive any pictures. The staff was very nice though.

10 out of 10. Would recommend every time!

Just book it. Words are not enough to describe this experience, you just have to do it! We thought we would just see a few dolphins… Swimming with so many dolphins was not something I expected! It was such an unforgettable day! Captain Shanti, Koa, Keona, Amelie, Ryan, Wylie and Kei were a well oiled machine and very informative! And Jess’ photos were breathtaking! Buy them!

Operator response

It was the best dolphin college ever.

I enjoyed swimming with dolphins and playing with sliders many times. Lunch and drinks were also delicious! My Japanese staff Kay was very kind to me. After the pick-up and drop-off, they showed me the way and I was very grateful. It was a great memory. Thank you very much.

Worth it!

I would tell anyone that this is definitely a trip worth paying for! We got picked up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and then traveled to the West Shore by bus for about an hour. You take your shoes off before getting on the boat and can sit either downstairs or upstairs. It’s a lot rockier upstairs so I suggest for those that get seasick to sit downstairs. You can see anything the crew spot from either levels. We were incredibly lucky and saw 2-3 pods of dolphins as soon as the boat left the dock. Once out in deep water, we saw quite a few pods again. We then went to the shallow waters for some snorkeling to see turtles and fish. No turtles for us but we did see a manta ray. The crew were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Minako. Words of caution - you need to know how or at least look up the basics on how we to snorkel before going on the trip. Even though the crew said they’d teach you, they don’t have a lot of time or are focused on other things. Minako was great in helping my 7 year old in the shallow water; he was so scared and nauseous during the trip he didn’t go into the water until she helped guide him to the floating mat. Travis was equally amazing by letting him go on the paddle board with him. All in all, well worth the time, money and seasickness!

Operator response

Aloha, thank you for your detailed review! We're so glad you had an incredible day seeing multiple pods of dolphins and enjoyed the help and kindness from Minako and Travis. Mahalo for joining us and for your recommendation!

View some dolphins

It was a lovely trip to find and watch the dolphin. The staffs ( captain Jef, Sarah, Tim and Bryan) were super friendly and helpful, they made sure that it would be safe and everyone have a comfortable time. We did see waves of dolphins far and near ( 2 types of dolphins included). And they are a wonderful experience. The last dive also include some turtles. I dotted down one star cause this might be out of control of the crew. The weather was too windy and not peaceful so the sknokel time was very limited. Me and my boyfriend vadely see a dolphin when sknokeled which was quite dissappointed cause we expected to be able to actually swim with the dolphins. Also there were around 17 people on the boat which makes the sknokle very crowded, easily bumped to one another and I definitely see majority feet instead of the animals. The boat is roomie, I suggest bring some food ( even instant noodle since they have hot water) sandwich was alright. There were hot chocolate, tea and some lemonade. Also checking the weather to book the tour, they will sail but of course not guarantee the experience you would have so gotta do our own due diligence. For the tour I have, better to just view the dolphins from the boat than having the swimming.

Operator response

Aloha Phuong, thank you for joining us and for your kind words about our crew. We're so glad you were able to see multiple species of dolphins and turtles, though we're sorry the windy conditions made it difficult to fully enjoy the snorkeling experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Mahalo!
