Dolphin Watching & BBQ Lunch Snorkeling Cruise (from Kailua-Kona) Instant Confirmation
Take a Day Cruise with Body Glove

Dolphin Sighting Guarantee! (until 2018/12/31)
If you do not spot any dolphins during your tour, you will be given the chance to come out again for FREE!
What qualifies as a dolphin sighting is determined by a trained member of the crew. This non-transferable offer allows you to reschedule your tour for free; it does not entitle you to a refund.

Spinner Dolphins are often spotted en route. The whole family will especially love the 15-foot (5 meter) waterslide and the high-dive platform, both making a big "splash" with the kids and the "kids at heart!"
