Cruise along the Kona Coast and search for spinner dolphin pods. The dolphins come back to shallow waters in the morning after an evening of feeding in the deeper parts of the ocean, and the early morning is the best time to find and see these marine mammals in their natural environment.
Snorkel Adventure
The snorkel spots will depend on the ocean conditions, but no matter where your captain drops anchor, you will be sure to experience some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii. Kealakekua Bay and the areas surrounding it are home to Hawaiian green sea turtles, coral reefs, tropical fish and more!

We had a great time swimming with the dolphins. Wish we had not gotten sea sick and enjoyed the trip more but we did have fun!

First tour we had on our trip and it was awesome! The crew was very informative and friendly. Can’t wait to go again! The fresh pineapple they served us was a wonderful end to the trip. Scott definitely knew his stuff!
Fantastic trip!

We got to spend a lot of time watching the Spinner Dolphins swim under and around us as we were in the water. Captain Nick and Trevor were great guides!

FAQ
Q. Can I swim with dolphins on this tour?
A. Dolphins are wild so you don't literally swim with them. You will be dipped into the water where dolphins are swimming nearby.
Q. Do I need to be able to swim to participate?
A. You do not need to know how to swim since life jackets will be provided, but it is highly recommended that you do know the basics of swimming since you will be in open water.
