This trip to Hawaii was a long-awaited three-generation family vacation. To fulfill my 9-year-old niece's wish to swim with dolphins, we decided to participate as a family. Our family tends to be more indoorsy, and with many of us not being able to swim, we were able to enjoy ourselves safely thanks to the kind and friendly Nao and the handsome and fun Rei, who provided us with constant support. The sea conditions were terrible, and participants from other tour companies likely wouldnโt have seen any dolphins, but thanks to Nao, Rei, and the captain's persistence, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! They made our dream of swimming with dolphins come true, creating a lifelong memory. My niece was also very satisfied.
The driver, Mr. Nawata, was from Fukuoka like us, and we had a great time chatting about our hometown, making it enjoyable from start to finish! Mr. Nawata and Rei were just as handsome as they were described (laughs).
Thank you so much for the best dolphin tour! I definitely want to ask Aloha Kona Tours for help again next time!

I was led by guides who never forgot their respect for dolphins on a small group tour, and even though I can't swim, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins twice! My daughter seemed truly moved by the pod and managed to dive during all six of her attempts, seeing not only dolphins but also a large school of mackerel. My son, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling nauseous on the boat. It might have been because he wasn't used to the wetsuit. Additionally, wearing a rash guard might have been constricting for him. Even the experienced guides mentioned that they feel seasick when wearing a wetsuit, so for those who can swim, it might be better to keep things light.

First, we boarded a six-person boat and headed out to sea. There, we received instructions on how to wear a wetsuit and snorkel. Even though the sea wasn't too rough, the boat was still swaying a bit, and I started to feel a little seasick. After that, they took us to the dolphin point. Since this point is the same as many other tours, there were a lot of Japanese people there (laughs).
There were really many dolphins, and I was able to swim with one that came close. However, just floating on the waves made me feel nauseous, which was tough. After seeing the dolphins, we returned to the original shore for a 15-minute break. During that time, I felt better and really enjoyed snorkeling while watching tropical fish and coral.
Of course, I paid a little over 10% of the fee as a tip at the end.

On the day, it was quite difficult to find dolphins. The guide communicated with other boats and made every effort to search for them. As a result, we were able to see a rare bottlenose dolphin just in time, and I am grateful for that encounter.
However, it felt more like "seeing dolphins swimming underwater" rather than "swimming with dolphins." Also, when the search for dolphins takes a long time like this, there is hardly any time left to enjoy snorkeling. If you don't take that into consideration, you might feel a bit disappointed.
Additionally, I personally didn't have any tips prepared, which I regretted. While it's not something you have to pay, I think it's nice to give a little something to the guide and the boat driver who worked hard for us. It would be smart to prepare a tip in addition to the fee.

Since itโs nature, there are days when you might not see dolphins, but I was able to see them about three times! They were incredibly fast. Additionally, I also got to see a manta ray. My husband said he even heard the dolphins' voices.
Thank you, Nawata, Naoko, and Rei. Since I canโt swim, I was able to see the dolphins thanks to Naoko pulling me toward them. The breeze on the water felt so good. The time flew by. I also really enjoyed the stories about warriors and scary tales with Rei. By the way, Rei was quite handsome! I want to see whales too, so if I can go back to the Big Island, I would love to join this tour again.

A typhoon was approaching, and the dolphins were somewhat far away, so we had to travel about 45 minutes from the meeting point, which is a distance we rarely go. Thanks to that, we were able to encounter a pod of dolphins. It was very enjoyable to see the dolphins jumping and swimming right in front of us. The guides were all friendly, and the conversations on the way there and back were fun as well. Thank you very much.

About 30 minutes to an hour by boat, we encountered a pod of 100 to 200 dolphins. They were jumping and spinning all around, and I was already moved before even entering the water. Once in the water, I swam a little, and there were so many dolphins swimming right in front of me; it was incredibly touching. They were so close that I felt I could almost reach out and touch them!
Since I was in a wetsuit, I felt safe entering the water as it helped me float. Some people who were not confident swimmers were worried, but in addition to the wetsuits, they provided floatation devices, and the guide pulled the floatation device for them, which made them very happy to see the dolphins up close.
Our guide, Ray, was very engaging and considerate during the trip, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It would be a real shame not to participate in a dolphin tour while visiting the Big Island!

It was a day with high waves and quite murky water, but the dolphins seemed to be in a good mood, coming close multiple times, allowing us to see them both on the surface and underwater.
Also, the love that our guides, Ray and Daisuke, had for the dolphins was wonderful. They prioritized not making the dolphins uncomfortable, which I believe is a rule we must follow when interacting with wild dolphins.
Since the tour takes place in an area where you can't touch the bottom at all, you'll float in a wetsuit, and Ray and Daisuke provide maximum advice and support. However, to fully enjoy this tour, I think it would be more fun if you try snorkeling in shallow waters or have the guts to dive in without being able to touch the bottom.
Thank you to the dolphins who healed us, to Ray and Daisuke for the opportunity, and to everyone who participated! โจ

It was a large boat, so I didn't mind the rocking. It probably depends on the sea conditions, but last year, when my mother participated in a different tour, she got seasick and had to sit out. This time, she finished her hamburger for lunch. At the snorkeling point, we encountered a sea turtle. On the way back, dolphins chased the boat.
I recommend the pricing for accompanying passengers. Even if snorkeling isn't possible, it's great for families who want to enjoy cruising together.

Aloha! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience aboard our vessel. If you ever find yourself on the Big Island of Hawaii again, we would love to have you back out. We pride ourselves on getting those who might be fearful of snorkeling to enjoy the experience! Hope we can get your entire group to enjoy the ocean that way next time.

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon trip. Fortunately, we encountered dolphins shortly after setting sail on the boat! We were able to see these wild dolphins up close, which I thought I could only see in an aquarium. It was moving to hear the sounds of dolphins that I had only heard on television! There were times when the dolphins would swim away to take a break, but our guide, Ray, and the captain made an effort to ensure that participants had as much time as possible to interact with the dolphins. I think even those who are not good swimmers can enjoy the experience with the solid support from the guides. I could feel the love for dolphins from both Mr. Nawa and guide Ray, and I definitely want to join this tour again.

I participated alone since my friend is not comfortable with the ocean, but the other participants were friendly, and thanks to our guide Daisuke, I had a wonderful time! I wasn't familiar with our guide, but he is also a photographer for dolphins and whales, and the tour itself is a warm experience that values the feelings of the dolphins.
After about 40 minutes out to sea, we encountered a group of dolphins. The guide communicated with the dolphins and led us, allowing us to see them up close. When a dolphin slowly approached us at such a close distance and we locked eyes, I was so moved that I shed tears! We also got to see the spinning jumps of the spinner dolphins multiple times. This tour filled me with gratitude for the dolphins' kindness and the beauty of the ocean as seen from the boat. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. (Afterward, my friend was inspired by my excitement and wanted to join, but the reservations were fully booked for several days ahead, so be sure to book early!)

It was great that the pickup was close to the port, and we didn't have to go far from the port to see a large group of dolphins. I didn't expect to see dolphins so close to the port.
We were lucky to see dolphins multiple times, and it was so much fun.
Guide Ray and all the staff were wonderful in their thoughtfulness.
Thank you very much!

This was the most anticipated activity of our honeymoon. It was incredibly fun and an unforgettable tour that exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Daisuke, had a special connection with the dolphins and truly knew them better than anyone elseโฆ! He was so enthusiastic that he even bent the captain's instructions to let us try again, shining with joy more than any other participant that day (laughs). However, that enthusiasm made us participants very happy, and I believe we had a truly valuable experience! There were quite a number of dolphins, and I will never forget the view the moment I put my face in the water! All the other staff members were friendly and wonderful people! I was able to spend a lovely time with the other participants. Thank you so much! If I can visit the Big Island again, I would definitely love to participate again!!

I gathered at the port, which is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel in Kona! There were so few Japanese people that I felt a sense of relief in an environment where Japanese could be spoken.
At first, we had a hard time finding the dolphin spot and kept cruising around the Waikoloa area. Just when I started to worry, the boat stopped, and we entered the water!
When we dove in at the call of "Here they come!", a large number of dolphins swam towards us!!!! The dolphins, which I usually only see in the aquarium, swam towards us leisurely and happily.
They twirled around, jumped, and swam close together, and it was such a precious experience that was incredibly cute!!! Thank you, Lei and Aki, for sharing so many stories and for being such warm-hearted people. I had a wonderful time! Thank you very much!

We were the only Japanese people with an English guide. I communicated to our guide, Emi, in English that I didn't understand the language and needed support before boarding. Throughout the trip, she frequently checked in on our health and meal preferences, which made us feel at ease. It was unfortunate that there were guides in the Captain Cook area that I couldn't understand due to the language barrier. However, I was able to enjoy snorkeling at my own pace and had a meaningful experience seeing various fish and corals in two different locations. The meals were served buffet-style, and the hamburger patties were grilled live! The location and delicious aroma were fantastic, and the food was very tasty. Breakfast is provided, but since we gathered at 9 AM and arrived at the first point after departure, I felt a bit nauseous from hunger... In fact, one guest had to return to the port and disembark before heading to the second point due to feeling unwell after entering the water. It might be better for participants to have a little something in their stomachs beforehand.
My mother, who is not fond of water, stayed on the boat the whole time, but she seemed captivated and said, "If they lend out floatation devices in places like this, I think Iโll try going into the sea next time." Emi's voice was very pleasant, making the cruise enjoyable. Since we were staying at the Sheraton Kona, it was also great that we could walk to the meeting point.

I was able to swim with a lot of dolphins. They came so close that it was almost unbelievable. It was a little scary, as I thought we might collide. It was the most moving experience I've ever had. However, I was surprised that there was no guide; only the captain was present. The captain signaled from the boat, and I had to make my own judgment and move in that direction. I think this might be tough for first-timers. A guided tour where someone swims with you would definitely be more reassuring. I can speak enough English, so I had no trouble communicating. The captain's English was also easy to understand, so I recommend it for those with snorkeling experience. I was looking forward to snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but since we went after swimming with the dolphins, the intensity of the dolphins made the fish feel a bit underwhelming. However, I was lucky to see a whale on the way to Kealakekua Bay.

This was my second dolphin swim on the Big Island, and this time I challenged myself with an English guide. I arrived just in time and was told, "Park the car quickly! Quickly!" I didn't even know where to park, and the first place I stopped was for boat towing, so I ended up parking on the street. There was also a Japanese couple who seemed to be getting scolded in the same way.
Last time, I brought my own gear, but this time I rented a mask and fins. I think I misunderstood some of the instructions; I heard that we shouldn't chase or touch the dolphins, just hold onto the float and watch, and not to splash with the fins. However, once I got into the water, I was scolded with "quickly!" and I desperately tried to swim towards the dolphins, but in the end, I was told, "You are like a turtle," and I was exhausted. However, in the end, I was able to swim with many dolphins, and on the way back, they provided fruit and showed us places that we couldn't see by car.
There were many people snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but the water was very clear, and there were plenty of fish, which was satisfying. Last time, there was a Japanese guide, but there were many people, and it was quite chaotic. This time, there were only two of us, so I was able to fully enjoy the dolphin swim.
From this experience, I learned:
- If there is no transportation provided, I should confirm the availability of parking.
- Even with experience, I shouldn't respond with just a vague understanding when guided in English.
- Snorkelers should bring their own gear.
These may seem like obvious points, but since it was my second time participating, I had underestimated some aspects. Please be careful when you participate.

I participated alone at the recommendation of a friend, and everyone warmly welcomed me. I was anxious about meeting the dolphins, but I encountered a large group and was able to swim with them, which turned out to be a truly wonderful experience! I definitely want to come back again during summer vacation!

The guide spoke English and was very friendly, accustomed to dealing with Japanese guests.
Basically, it's a tour where you enjoy swimming with dolphins and then go snorkeling at the coral reefs of Kealakekua Bay. There were six guests on the Zodiac boat, but it seemed like that was the maximum capacity.
Light snacks included chips and fruits (pineapple, papaya, grapes), and drinks were also provided.
On the day I participated, I was very satisfied as I got to swim with pilot whales and manta rays. The snorkeling at the coral reef and the cave guide were included, and considering that they even chased after humpback whales when it was time to return, I thought it was surprisingly good value compared to tours that just do dolphin snorkeling and head back right away. It's also a plus that it's very close from the Sheraton.

Dear Kojokaru,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a comment and for sharing such beautiful photos. As you mentioned, our boats accommodate a maximum of six guests. While they are not large boats, we strive to provide personalized service to each and every guest.
I'm glad to hear that you were able to see whales and mantas. We aim to make our tours as fulfilling as possible to ensure customer satisfaction. We are located about a five-minute walk from the Sheraton Hotel.
Please feel free to contact us again when you visit the Big Island. Our entire staff looks forward to seeing you again.

It was the best experience!
The guide instructed us to get into the water when the dolphins arrived, so we were able to see them up close!
While we were on the boat, the guide also helped us look for marine life, and we got to see:
whales,
manta rays,
whale sharks!
I truly feel lucky.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Last year, I participated in a dolphin tour with a Japanese guide, so when I compare the two experiences, I felt a sense of neglect here. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't catch much anyway, and the explanations were brief, plus there was no guide who entered the water with us. However, as soon as we got into the water, there were a lot of dolphins. They came really close, and I could see even the little scratches on their backs clearly. After that, while moving to another snorkeling spot, they looked for whales, and we were actually able to see one. The snorkeling was in a very clear area, and on the way back, they shared stories about the Big Island of Hawaii. I think it would have been even better if I could speak English, but I had a great experience.

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. While we handle reservations and customer inquiries in Japanese, we do not conduct tours in Japanese, so there may be some language barriers during the tour. However, Iโm glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Itโs wonderful that the dolphins came so close, and you were able to see whales as well. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos.

Aloha krm,
We so appreciate your business! I can't imagine how BBQ cheeseburgers disappointed you this much, but we apologize nonetheless.
In terms of our snorkel site, I personally have never had a bad experience, and wish I could have been your personal guide. If anyone out there reads this review before they come out on a trip with us, just know that any crew member is happy to verbally guide you to some of the best areas to snorkel at our exclusive site.
Finally, sometimes the ocean is choppy. We couldn't run a company like ours if that were a consistent state of our shoreline waters, but it does happen, and is beyond our control. We are always ready with remedies for motion sickness though!
Thank you again for your feedback. We hope that you'll give it another try some day.
