I participated in a dolphin snorkeling tour with my child on November 21. At first, my mother was anxious, but she was so happy to meet the dolphins! I think it's thanks to Daisuke, who guided us in a fun and kind way. Thank you very much! This was my first time in Hawaii, and I learned a lot, which made me fall in love with the Big Island. When I go back to the Big Island, I hope to have you as my tour guide again. Thank you so much!

I saw so many beautiful things on the dolphin tour. I was a bit scared because I can't swim, but thanks to Daisuke's help, I was really happy to see swimming dolphins and hear their mysterious voices. I was able to see a whale, which I thought I wouldn't be able to see, and it still feels like a dream.
I feel sorry for the dolphins in aquariums because they often have to adapt to humans, but the wild dolphins are so free and it's wonderful. Daisuke's figure diving deep into the ocean and swimming with the dolphins was very beautiful, and I thought it would be nice if I could swim like that too.
The dolphin tour became the best memory of this trip.

Thank you for the wonderful dolphin swim the other day. We have always wanted to swim with dolphins, and we were absolutely thrilled!!! It was the most enjoyable time.
We are very grateful for your kind guidance and support. When I told my mother about it, she, who loves dolphins, said she definitely wants to do it too.
We will definitely visit the Big Island again, so we look forward to seeing you then.
I will cherish the photos as well. Thank you so much.

I participated with my husband on November 22.
It was our first time snorkeling, and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. Everyone around us was young (my husband is over 60).
When we got on the boat, I had a bit of regret, but once we got into the water, there were so many dolphins. The instructor, Daisuke, pulled us close to them, and I quickly got used to being in the water.
I felt like a child again, and we had a wonderful time with the dolphins, squealing with joy.
Regardless of age, I encourage everyone to join in!

We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon.
Both of us were anxious since it was our first time snorkeling, but the captain and Daisuke were very kind, making it the best memory of our trip.
Even though they said there was a 99% chance of seeing wild dolphins, we were unsure if we would actually see them, but we were able to meet so many dolphins, which was truly moving.
Additionally, there were only eight participants, including us, so it was a small group. Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to see them up close!
I couldn't swim, but there were floatation devices available, so I didn't have to worry.
It's definitely worth participating!!

I participated on November 18th.
The dolphins swim so close that it feels like I could reach out and touch them. The ones in a good mood make eye contact and invite you to play with them. They show off incredible moves, including a seven-spin jump after gaining momentum, and even some things that are hard to describe.
Our guide, Daisuke, cheerfully declared, "Iโm going to have a great time too," which made the tour really enjoyable and uplifting. He kept the conversation lively and entertaining, so the travel time never felt boring. Plus, our reliable captain accurately predicted the dolphins' movements, allowing us to see them at every spot. Both of them were the best guides. Thank you so much for a dream-like experience.
It was such a wonderful tour that I would love to participate again, even two or three times. I highly recommend it!

I participated with my husband on our first trip to the Big Island.
We were really lucky that day, as we saw three manta rays before swimming with the dolphins. After that, we encountered dolphins that happened to be in a good mood, and we could hear their sounds and meet many dolphins. Our guide, Daisuke, worked hard to lead everyone to where the dolphins were, allowing us to see them up close, which was truly moving. The dolphins were also swimming around him playfully.
The weather was great that day, and we could see Maui and Mauna Kea as well. After the tour ended and we were returning to the harbor, one of the guides pointed out a whale, and when we looked in that direction, we saw a humpback whale spouting water and could clearly see its small tail.
Experiencing such a wonderful day on the Big Island has truly become the best memory. The dolphins are incredibly cute, and the guide was fantastic. I would love to participate again next time and highly recommend it to everyone.
Thank you so much!

I participated on November 22nd and was very nervous at first, but I had a great time!! I was able to spend the best honeymoon on my trip.
The guide, Daisuke, explained everything very thoroughly, and even as a beginner, I was taken to the point where I could touch the dolphins, so I think everyone can participate with peace of mind. I was really moved when Daisuke dove in and played with the dolphins; it felt like he was communicating with them and interacting like friends.
I will definitely participate again when I come back to the Big Island, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I have swum with dolphins many times, but this tour is exceptional. The process of getting to the point by boat is thrilling and feels like a little attraction, unlike a regular boat ride. Since they know the spots where dolphins appear, the boat speeds ahead to drop us off at the point before the dolphins arrive, so even just floating, the dolphins come towards you. Sometimes they get so close that it takes your breath away. Of course, for those who are good swimmers, you can dive in and swim alongside the dolphins!
If you get tired along the way, they lend you noodles, and there are multiple opportunities to dive, so you can enjoy watching everyone swim from the boat or see the dolphins jump, all at your own pace. If there are only one or two chances, you might feel pressured to push yourself even if you're tired...
Because Mr. Nawata is very friendly and knows how to have fun, he tries to accommodate requests as much as possible. If you're going to participate in the future, please feel free to ask questions and make requests actively!

The captain provided precise instructions based on years of experience and intuition, and Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to encounter over 150 dolphins with excellent teamwork! Not only did we get to see them, but they also created bubble rings and swam around me, playing a lot! I received so much energy from this experience! The two staff members were very friendly and reliable, and they responded flexibly and generously, which made me feel very at ease. Next time, I definitely want to bring an underwater camera!

I was able to see dolphins for the first time on this tour, but I felt a few things were complicated. First, there was almost no explanation on how to use the snorkel and fins, and during the actual event, we didn't have any practice before getting into the dolphin zone from the boat in the deep sea. Additionally, my husband's snorkel was attached the wrong way, causing seawater to flow back into the tube when he put his face in the water, making it very difficult for him to breathe and quite stressful. When we returned to the boat to ask questions, we didn't receive a solid response, so we had to figure out the cause and deal with it ourselves. We had mentioned that it was our first time, and everyone around us was inexperienced as well, so I felt that without a more careful approach, it wouldn't be surprising if an accident occurred someday. With 12 customers to one staff member and the captain, it didn't feel like a small group, and I was disappointed by the lack of attentive service.
Also, we participated without having breakfast, but we didn't receive the light snacks (like snacks) that were mentioned in the tour details; we only got one can of juice to share. Furthermore, at the location where the dolphins were, we didn't see any tropical fish or other marine life. Since it was just deep sea, I thought it would have been better to join another tour that mentioned stopping at a coral reef snorkeling spot on the way back.
While I did get to see the dolphins and had some fun, if I had the chance to go again, I wouldn't sign up for this tour... I would prefer to join a different dolphin tour.

I participated with my mother, who cannot swim. Thanks to the support from the captain and Daisuke, who helped my mother overcome her fear, I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest. Although my mother gave up snorkeling after a little while, she was able to see the dolphins underwater, and she was very satisfied watching the dolphins jump and seeing large groups of dolphins from the boat, while feeling the beautiful sea and breeze.
I saw dolphins playing with jellyfish, and when I thought one had stopped right below me, it created a bubble ring! There were dolphins coming towards us and suddenly appearing from behind... it was a dolphin paradise!
It was a very satisfying half-day, from cruising to swimming. Next time, I want to improve my free diving skills so I can play together with my mother and participate again!

I participated in a tour on October 22.
That day, the wind was a bit strong, so the small boat jumped quite a bit, which was thrilling and fun, but it took a lot of energy just to hold on. I think it would have been better if we had been taught how to hold onto the boat properly in advance.
Now, regarding the dolphins, I was a bit anxious because we couldn't encounter a pod for a while, but once we did, it was an extraordinary gathering. It seemed to be a baby boom, as we got to swim with many dolphins with their young. Seeing the pod of dolphins in the clear blue sea was mystical and moving. I got a bit seasick halfway through and couldn't get in the water during the latter part, but I was very satisfied to see the dolphins jumping and swimming gracefully on the surface from the boat.
The swim guide, Daisuke, is a self-proclaimed dolphin lover. His sparkling eyes resembled those of the dolphins we encountered in the sea. His thoughtful attention and polite demeanor towards everyone, along with his full-on "I love dolphins and Hawaii" aura, allowed all participants to relax and enjoy a happy time. Thank you so much to the cheerful captain and guide Daisuke!
Depending on the condition of the sea, some people may not be able to fully enjoy it, so I rated it a "4 stars," but I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island.

I am very satisfied.
I participated with a friend.
On the day, there were five of us: a couple and an elderly woman!
Since it was a small group on a compact boat, getting on and off was smooth.
During the three snorkeling sessions, we encountered large groups of dolphins each time!
The first time, there were about 150 dolphins in the group!
The second time, we even encountered a manta ray!
The water clarity at the third snorkeling spot was amazing!!!
It felt like a dream to see dolphins so clearly and so close. They were within reach (though touching is not allowed). The guide mentioned that such experiences are rare, so we were lucky to participate at the best time. I don't think this always happens... However, it seems that no one has ever missed seeing dolphins.
Our guide, Daisuke, was a very reliable and nice guy, and the captain was also quite a nice guy.
I really had a great time. Thank you very much.
For those who are not confident swimmers, there are helpers available, and wearing a wetsuit increases buoyancy.
It was truly a tour that made me want to participate again.
If you're hesitating, I highly recommend it!
However, I went without a pickup and drove to the meeting place, but I mistakenly went to the wrong restroom and ended up being late.
Since there was no detailed map or communication regarding the location from the booking through Alan1, I recommend checking the tour company's website to confirm the location properly. It can be a bit confusing.
Also, it mentioned snacks would be provided, but there was nothing in particular; just drinks after the tour.

Just seeing dolphins from the boat was exciting, but being able to get in the water and swim with them was amazing! It's a must-see. The boat is small, so it's not scary to enter the water from a high position, and wearing a wetsuit keeps you warm and helps you float well. If you're not confident in your swimming, they also provide floatation devices that you can hold onto. We were really happy and had so much fun when we made eye contact with the dolphins and found ourselves surrounded by them! I wonder if they were thinking, "Who are these guys?" Luckily, we also got to see a manta ray that day. The guides were kind and really helpful, and I definitely want to come back to the Big Island. Oahu is urban and too crowded for me, so I really love the Big Island. See you again!

I wanted to swim with wild dolphins on my honeymoon, and after researching various options, I found that the Big Island of Hawaii had the best conditions. The reviews on this site were excellent, so I decided to book with Aloha Kona Tours.
The staff were very accommodating, and I could really feel the passion from Captain Nawata and Daisuke, who dove with us, wanting the customers to enjoy their time with the dolphins.
Those who can swim are free to swim with the dolphins, and the staff diligently guide you to where the dolphins are located. For beginners, they provide flotation devices and assist in transporting you to the dolphin spots, which is reassuring.
The small group size allows for better individual attention, and because there are fewer people, the time spent getting on and off the boat is reduced, giving you more opportunities to interact with the dolphins.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone, from beginners to experienced swimmers, who wants to connect with dolphins and the natural beauty of Hawaii!

I was able to fulfill my long-time dream of swimming with wild dolphins!
On this day, we found a pod of dolphins while moving. As we entered the water ahead of them and waited, I could hear their calls getting closer, and the dolphins swam right beneath me.
Although the sea was deep, they provided flotation devices, so there was no need to worry! My husband was able to tread water and dive freely without borrowing one. I borrowed a flotation device because I was anxious, but I think those who can swim on their own can get closer to the dolphins without one.
We entered the water three times that day and were able to see many dolphins. The small boat made it easy to get on and off, allowing everyone to enter the water at the same time, which was great.
Our guide Daisuke was in the water, and Mr. Nawata was on the boat, both working hard to guide us, saying things like, "Just 5 meters out! There! Stay right there! Theyโll be coming in about 20 meters!"
I want to practice diving before our next trip so I can see the dolphins even closer.
I had a very enjoyable and precious time! Even after returning home, I look at the photos every day and remember the excitement. Thank you, Mr. Nawata and Daisuke.
I was able to take many dolphin photos with the digital camera I bought for this day.

My husband and I participated together. I can't swim very well, but they provided me with a swimsuit and floatation devices, so I was fine. We were able to easily meet dolphins without searching for them. The staff member Daisuke took us close to the dolphins. He also took photos for us and made the experience very enjoyable. Dolphins came right up in front of us. The bubble rings created by the dolphins rose up from the ocean floor, and it was beautiful. I was truly moved. There was also a baby dolphin. My husband said he saw a manta ray as well. The captain was friendly, and since there were only a few of us, it felt very relaxed. The boat was small, but it was comfortable enough. I took motion sickness medication, but no one got seasick. It was a dreamlike moment. If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I will definitely participate again. Thank you, Captain and Daisuke!

I joined this tour on a friend's recommendation. It was a small group, which allowed for flexible movement to dolphin spots, and I felt reassured by the attentive guide. We were able to see dolphins in several locations, witnessing them flying, sleeping, and playing multiple times. Since we didn't have to use floaties, we could dive or swim like the dolphins, making it a truly mystical experience. The guides were all very kind, and I was completely satisfied. I had no idea such a marine world existed! I will definitely participate again.

A group of dolphins swam gracefully by, close enough that I felt I could reach out and touch them! There were also adorable baby dolphins. While we couldn't play with them, I was so happy to hear their voices.
The dolphins' performance is a must-see! They followed the boat and surfed, showing off impressive jumps with twists, just like Kohei Uchimura.
For those who share a dream like mine, I highly recommend participating. My husband joined reluctantly, showing no interest, but he ended up quite excited, snapping photos with an underwater camera. Later, he said, "That was pretty good."
Are you afraid of swimming in the ocean? No worries! You can borrow a float called a noodle. Plus, the guide holds your arm firmly, so you can feel safe (they took great care of both of us).
Worried about not seeing well underwater? No problem! You can borrow a prescription mask. My husband has terrible nearsightedness, but he enjoyed it.
Both the guide and the captain were very cheerful and kind. They seemed to find purpose in making sure we had a great time.
We also observed an activity at the hotel where you can interact with dolphins, but I thought that if you're going to spend that much money, this experience is definitely the better choice.
I created wonderful memories for a lifetime. Thank you!

We participated as a family of three with our 10-year-old son. This was our first experience with snorkeling, and despite not being great swimmers, we wanted to swim with dolphins. After considering various options, we decided to join Mr. Nawata's tour! The reasons were the small group size of eight people and the five-star service from the staff.
Having actually participated, I can confidently say that choosing this tour was the right decision! Mr. Nawata took great care of our son, allowing him to see the dolphins up close, which made him extremely happy! We were also able to chase the dolphins without worrying about our son (though we were quite busy with our own excitement).
Here are the good points about participating in Mr. Nawata's tour:
- With a maximum of eight participants, we didn't waste time getting on and off the boat, which increased our opportunities to swim with the dolphins (larger boats tend to take longer).
- The boat was specifically for snorkeling, so we were close to the water's surface, making it completely non-threatening for us, even as beginners.
- The staff were very attentive. As mentioned, Mr. Nawata was dedicated to taking care of our son, allowing him to see the dolphins up close. Swim guide Michi and the captain also constantly pointed out where the dolphins were so that participants could see them well!
- Even as first-time snorkelers who couldn't swim well, we were able to use a floating device, which allowed us to chase the dolphins with confidence.
You may already know this, but my wife, who has poor eyesight, had no issues wearing disposable contact lenses. I was able to borrow prescription goggles, which helped me see the dolphins clearly.
I would love to participate again next year.
Lastly, thank you, Michi, for sending the wonderful dolphin photos. I'm using one as my phone wallpaper!

I participated on September 22nd. I have experienced diving and snorkeling in various islands, including overseas, but swimming close to wild dolphins and hearing their voices live was a first for me, and it was an emotional experience that is hard to put into words. The guides, Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako, were very kind and provided heartfelt guidance. They help ensure that even solo participants or those who are not very comfortable in the water can enjoy the experience. What impressed me the most was the enthusiasm they showed in wanting to convey the beauty of Hawaii to the guests. When we returned to the port, we took a moment to search for whales, as it was mentioned that they had arrived early in Hawaii this year. Unfortunately, we couldn't spot any, but more than anything, I was reminded of the "curiosity" and excitement that I often forget in the urban life of Tokyo. I heard that in winter, you can meet whales, so I hope to come back someday to see them.
It's a wonderful recommended tour that is small in number, homey, safe, and truly moving!

Thank you very much for your support on September 13th. Thanks to Mr. Nawata and swim guide Michi, I had a very enjoyable dolphin swim. Michi even said, "It's been a while since I've seen dolphins in such a playful mood!" I was very satisfied with how much fun the dolphins had with us! I believe even those who can't swim can feel safe swimming with the dolphins with the support of floatation devices and the swim guides.
The dolphin swim involves chasing after dolphins that are moving south, and itโs a repetitive process of chasing and swimming. Aloha Kona Tours has a capacity of 8 people (there were 6 during my time), so compared to tours with 20 people, the boarding and disembarking is quicker, allowing for more time swimming with the dolphins. While you can't know for sure until you go, there are many boats out in the ocean for dolphin tours, and some are quite large. Aloha Kona Tours is definitely a better deal!
By the way, the boat (about a 20-minute ride) can be quite rocky, so motion sickness medication is a must. If you get sick, you won't be able to enjoy it. Also, if you bring a hat, make sure it has a strap to keep it secure, or it will get blown away. On the way there, a swimsuit is fine, but on the way back, since your body will be wet and cold, itโs good to have a light jacket. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on watching the dolphins that I only managed to take one decent photo (๏ผ๏ผ). However, I think itโs more important to see them with your own eyes first, so I wish I had just recorded in movie mode instead of worrying about photos.
If you write your email address in Michi's sign book, she will send you the photos she took of the dolphins later (they're really well taken!). I'm grateful for thatโ
Next time, I want to be able to dive down to 3 meters for the dolphin swim (I've heard it gives you a greater sense of "swimming together"). Thank you so much again!!

I had experience with dolphin watching, but I joined the tour expecting to swim with them. I thought we would only see them from a distance in the water, but they actually swam right next to us. I was captivated watching a baby dolphin nudging its mother and two dolphins racing alongside each other. As I got distracted by the dolphins behind me, I noticed there were dolphins on the side as well! Before entering the water, our guides, Mr. Nawata and Ms. Michi, told us to constantly be aware of our surroundings, and I found that to be true (laughs).
I was amazed that we could see them up close. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "They might not come close because they have a baby with them," and Ms. Michi added, "They are swimming fast today." I was surprised to learn that wild dolphins sometimes swim closer and slower.
It wasn't just the dolphins that impressed me. On this day, we had a hard time finding dolphins and spent quite a bit of time searching, but the staff worked hard to ensure that participants could see as many dolphins as possible. Once we found them and entered the water, the captain pointed out where the dolphins were from the boat, while the two guides continuously signaled us from the water. After the tour, Ms. Michi kindly offered to send me the dolphin photos she took, so I shared my email address, and she promptly sent me some amazing, clear images. We had tried to take pictures ourselves, but we couldn't keep up with the dolphins' speed, so I was very grateful for her thoughtful gesture.
The conversations on the boat were enjoyable, and they shared various ways to enjoy the Big Island. I think the tour was even more enjoyable because all the staff were genuinely pleasant. There were first-time snorkelers and elementary school children on this trip, and the attention given to them was very detailed, making it a tour that beginners could join with confidence.
The boat was a small one with a capacity of eight participants, which actually turned out to be good for swimming with the dolphins. We would find the dolphins and then enter the water ahead of where they were swimming, waiting for them to pass by. After they went by, we would get back on the boat and repeat the process. If the boat were larger, it wouldn't be as maneuverable, and with more people, it would take longer for everyone to get back on the boat, reducing the number of times we could see the dolphins.
This time, my wife saw online that Mr. Nawata's tour had a good reputation, so we decided to join both the manta and dolphin tours.

I participated in several wild dolphin tours on Oahu. This time, I heard rumors that the dolphin tour on the Big Island is amazing, so I made a reservation. We chased dolphins on a boat that moved freely across the sea, taking us to a spot where the dolphins came very close. I was thrilled to see mother and baby dolphins and playful dolphins up close, but I was told that there were fewer tour staff than usual, which was disappointing. I wondered if I could really swim with the pod if I participated at the usual time! I decided that I would definitely make a reservation for the next time I visit the Big Island. Among the participants, there were beautiful underwater photos of dolphins taken with a 100% waterproof digital camera, so I want to bring a waterproof digital camera next time. After participating in this tour, I personally felt that while the recreational dolphin tours on Oahu are fun, I might be done with them...

Thank you for participating in the dolphin swim tour on the Big Island. The dolphins in Hawaii come surprisingly close to you. Please make sure to bring a waterproof camera next time, and remember the dolphins of the Big Island even after you return to Japan! If you weren't able to take good photos, please let the staff know, and we will send them to you via email. Thank you very much.

I was already satisfied just to meet the dolphins, but I even got to see a manta ray. I was really lucky. During the summer vacation, about four families participated, and there were three Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. They were very attentive. I would like to participate again.

I had been wanting to participate in a dolphin tour for a long time and did some research, but I decided to apply to Aloha Kona Tours for a couple of reasons: the small group size and the fact that they speak Japanese. Additionally, the numerous comments from past participants were decisive factors for me.
Participating in the tour was truly an amazing and moving experience. We were a couple not so young and complete beginners, but thanks to Mr. Nawata and staff member Tsuyako's thoughtful attention, we were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries.
Of course, we got to see dolphins, and we even encountered a manta ray, which was incredibly moving. They made sure we could meet dolphins multiple times by getting the boat ahead of them, and we could even hear the dolphins' sounds and saw a mother and baby dolphin.
I am truly grateful to Mr. Nawata and Tsuyako, who were always smiling. It was a reassuring dolphin tour for beginners.

I was thrilled to see not only dolphins but also manta rays! It was a truly unforgettable experience that I could never have in Japan, so I was very satisfied.
There were only two crew members, the captain and a guide, along with eight guests, which made for a more intimate atmosphere. I think it's great for those who dislike a noisy environment.
However, since it was my first time snorkeling, I panicked a bit when I jumped into the sea and swallowed quite a bit of seawater (laughs).

It was lucky that you were able to see manta rays, as they are not always guaranteed!
Our company aims for a small group, homey tour experience, so I'm glad it matched your expectations.
Please do come back for snorkeling again; we look forward to it.

This time we went to the Big Island, and visiting Kilauea and Mauna Kea was a must. I looked into what else there was to do and found out that you can swim with dolphins, so I joined this tour, which had great reviews compared to others.
It turned out to be a fantastic choice! First of all, the guide was really nice and amazing! The quality of a tour is definitely important, but the guide makes a huge difference!
The tour itself was filled with dolphins, and I was truly moved. I was surprised to see so many dolphins up close!
Apparently, the types of dolphins on the Big Island are different from those on Oahu, and they swim in large groups, which is why you can see this incredible sight.
I highly recommend it if you visit the Big Island!!

After searching online for family-friendly activities on the Big Island, I decided to go with Aloha Kona Tours, which had great reviews. My son (7 years old) and daughter (9 years old) joined me, and the staff was always attentive. The kids were able to see a pod of dolphins right in front of them while holding onto floating rings.
Although they took breaks due to seasickness, the staff continued to check on them, which made the kids very happy. It was also great that all the staff were Japanese, allowing us to snorkel without any stress. I never imagined I would see so many dolphins jumping and spinning right in front of me; it was incredibly soothing.
They were punctual and very efficient. A waterproof camera is a must. I highly recommend participating as a family. Our summer vacation diary was filled with dolphins.
I definitely want to be a repeat customer. Thank you for everything!

Thank you for participating in our tour.
We have never exceeded the capacity of 10 guests, so it seems there may have been a counting mistake. However, we sincerely apologize for your dissatisfaction with the tour itself.
While we usually have the opportunity to show tropical fish and coral, on this day, dolphins were swimming in deeper waters, and we were unable to show you the coral, which is unfortunate.
We will continue to make our best efforts to ensure our customers are satisfied. The Big Island of Hawaii is a wonderful place with abundant nature, so please do visit us again. Thank you for your valuable feedback this time.
