This was exactly as advertised. We encountered dolphins on the way out but they were the smaller variety that you are not able to swim with. Went further out, couldn’t find any dolphins so headed to an area to snorkel. Saw turtles swimming through the underwater caves. Went to the next snorkeling spot when the captain got word where there were some dolphins. Gave us the option of more snorkeling or to try to get to the dolphins. We chose the dolphins and glad we did. We found a large group and we were able to get in and swim as they swam past. A very memorable experience. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable.

We were so excited to have found this chance to swim with dolphins. The place was easy to find with clear instructions on timings and meeting point. I hadn’t originally reserved a wet suit but after advice they kitted us out without a fuss. The boat was fun and soon found spotted dolphins. We were so excited to be able to snorkel and watch the dolphins passing beneath us. Then we saw a huge shoal of spinner dolphins apparently sleeping near the shore. Our guides both being marine biologists didn’t allow us to snorkel with them as it’s not allowed as we might disturb them. But we could watch them playing around the boat. Two further snorkelling stops over reefs seeing so many varieties of beautiful fish and turtles. It was a trip of a lifetime for us. And we were so grateful at the care and kindness extended to us.

An amazing experience from the moment we were picked up to the very end. Easy process to get ready and an amazing crew who fulfilled all their promises on finding turtles, dolphins and other amazing marine life for us to see

AMAZING!!! That is the best word to describe this adventure. We signed up for this tour at the recommendation of our son and daughter-in-law who had attended previously. From the hotel pick up, the tour itself, all the way to the drop off, it was truly fabulous. While on the water, the captain was very knowledgeable. She was super helpful in getting us up close to the marine life without disturbing their natural surroundings. She had us enter the water respectfully and instructed us on how to best view things. We saw whales, multiple species of dolphins, and even sea turtles. The snorkeling was fabulous regardless of it you are new to snorkeling or a pro. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an up close interaction with marine life, but also a friendly, informative groups of folks spending the day with you.

What a great company! Felt very local and laid back. A great experience. Captain Lex and crew Liza were fantastic. Skilled, knowledgeable and just as happy to be out on the water as we were. We saw so much wildlife and the West Side is beautiful! Get out of Waikiki for the day and snorkel with dolphins and turtles. We even saw a Monk Seal! This company knows and respects the marine life, and keeps the animals and the people safe.
