I went directly to the meeting point since I had rented a car. On time, our guide Daisuke arrived. He was amazing!! He claimed to know more about dolphins than anyone else in the world, and he was right.
There were tours for foreigners, and the dolphin spots were crowded, but with his precise guidance, we were able to read the dolphins' movements from the agile boat and dive in!
We were able to see dolphins right in front of us during every dive. I had participated in several tours in Oahu, but this experience was on a completely different level in terms of encounters with dolphins, proximity, and enjoyment.
My middle school daughter was also very satisfied; it was a memorable tour. Thank you, Daisuke. This tour is definitely better than the more famous ones!

I had the boat take me ahead of where the dolphins were coming, jumped into the sea holding onto a noodle float, swam at full speed to see the dolphins, got back on the boat, and repeated this seven times (laughs). It was quite a workout for someone like me who doesn't exercise at all, but I was really glad to participate as I watched the dolphins swimming close enough to touch and saw a group of over 30 dolphins (I counted, laughs) swimming leisurely in a slightly deeper area. Although Kealakekua Bay wasn't as blue due to the clouds, the water was clear and filled with colorful fish, making it very beautiful. I thought I would need to give a tip, and sure enough, they politely said, "If you were satisfied, please consider a tip." We handed over $50 for the two of us, which felt sufficient. The tour cost $170 per person, so with the tip, it comes to over 20,000 yen per person, but considering they provided the boat, determined the direction of the dolphins, and let us enter the water at the right timing, as well as took us to another snorkeling spot, I think it's a reasonable amount.
On the way back from Kealakekua Bay to the initial meeting point at Keauhou Bay, they showed us the dolphins from the boat again, and we were able to see them jump out of the water and spin twice!!! Since they are wild animals, we might not see them every time, but with 30 dolphins present this time, it's unlikely to have zero dolphins.
I was a bit anxious about the English tour, but when they first asked, "Can you speak English?" I replied, "A little," so they didn't say anything too complicated (laughs). When they helped me get back on the boat, they asked, "Very good, yeah?" and said, "Dolphins come this way, go!" There were instructions at Kealakekua Bay to avoid landing on the shore, but all of it was in simple English. I could understand but couldn't speak, so I just expressed my enjoyment by saying things like "Woo!" when I saw the dolphins (laughs).
Additionally, there were many other boats from different companies in the sea, and we helped each other by sharing the locations of the dolphins. When I was swimming freestyle, a Japanese guide from another tour told me, "It's better to kick your legs!" which was very cooperative and nice. The only downside is that there is no pickup service, but if you stay at the Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, you can walk to the meeting point.
I had such a great experience that I ended up writing a lot, but I highly recommend it, so definitely consider participating!!!

At first, we searched for dolphins by boat but couldn't find any. After that, we moved by car and soon encountered a large pod of dolphins just off the bay! We saw dolphins swimming and jumping, sometimes so close that it felt like we could touch them, and we returned home completely satisfied. The guides were all very cheerful and friendly, and we are very grateful for their experience and judgment. Thank you for the precious memories with my family.

This time, I participated with my 12-year-old son, and we were the only two on the tour. Although my son couldn't swim, they provided us with a float (noodle), so we could enjoy the activities with peace of mind. They arranged a large boat just for us, and the female captain was very kind! She told us where the dolphins were and changed the points so we could swim with them. It was incredibly moving to see the dolphins up close and swim with them. Most importantly, we could hear the dolphins communicating (echolocation) underwater. According to the captain, the secret lies in the boat's engine (it's quiet, so the dolphins don't escape).
After the dolphin swim, we had a plan to enjoy snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but on the way to the snorkeling point, they stopped the boat and guided us to a lava tube, making it a very satisfying tour! Above all, the time spent on the boat was very pleasant and enjoyable, and the view of the Big Island from the ocean was exceptional. The fruit we had on the boat after snorkeling was also chilled and delicious. The captain's hospitality was wonderful, and Iโm really glad I participated in this tour, which allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. It was a valuable and wonderful experience for my child as well. Thank you very much!

I participated alone, and when I looked around, I was the only Japanese person there. I boarded the boat thinking it was a sightseeing cruise, and the view from the ship, including Kailua and the mountain ridges in the background, was incredibly beautiful. The boat went all the way to the cape in search of dolphins in Kailua Bay, then made a U-turn while the captain diligently searched for dolphins. It was worth it, as suddenly 6 to 10 dolphins appeared and swam around the boat for a few minutes. I was very excited to see wild dolphins up close. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, where we had about 2 hours for snorkeling and lunch. After that, we cruised around Kailua Bay in search of dolphins. I can't speak English, but the crew was very kind and friendly, providing explanations in Japanese.

Daisuke really loves dolphins, and that came across clearly. When I saw Daisuke swimming with the dolphins, he looked just like one of them (laughs). I have some snorkeling experience, but I was anxious in deep water where I couldn't touch the bottom. Daisuke was incredibly considerate, holding my hand at times and guiding me to the best positions. Thanks to him, I encountered many dolphins. When I was focused on looking ahead, he would quickly let me know if there were dolphins behind us, so I didn't miss anything! He was more persistent than other tour boats.
Even for someone like me who isn't great with speed, the veteran captain's driving was reassuring, and I didn't feel scared at all. I recommend this company's tour to those who might be a bit nervous.

I was so moved by my experience swimming with dolphins on Oahu that I made it my number one goal to participate on the Big Island as well. There were so many different types of dolphins, and they seemed to swim more freely and naturally than the ones on Oahu! The number of dolphins was incomparable!
With Captain Hitomi and guide Daisuke as a fantastic duo, the journey was enjoyable and I felt safe throughout. I was able to go into the ocean multiple times and swim with the dolphins! I will definitely participate again when I come back to the Big Island!

The boat is smaller than those of other companies, but that allows for more freedom in trying things out, which seems to increase the chances of encounters.

Unfortunately, the height of the waves affected our entire family, and even the motion sickness medication barely worked, so we spent most of the time lying down. We were able to see dolphins and managed to experience snorkeling, but the intense rocking created some memorable moments in a way, haha. This time we traveled in late February, but next time, if the weather is milder, I would like to participate again.

At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling or swimming, and I made a lot of splashing sounds, which limited my visibility, making it difficult to see the pod of dolphins swimming by. Once I got the hang of it, I was finally able to see the dolphins pass by, and it was an emotional experience. The key is to enter the water quietly, just float (don't swim), and look around curiously underwater.

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.
After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.
When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.
For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).
On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.
The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. Thereโs a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.
Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.

Wild dolphins & Kealakekua
Snorkeling
On Dave's boat, it was just my son and me. Dave searched for dolphin spots, and with his signal of "JUMP IN!", we jumped in multiple times. When the pod of dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot, laughing. We dove about 7 or 8 times and finally encountered a pod of over 50 dolphins! The snorkeling afterward was also amazing!

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to the hotel. The guide didn't speak any Japanese at all, so I had to figure things out on my own.

I understand that it was your first time snorkeling, and unfortunately, you couldn't swim with the dolphins because you weren't familiar with how to use the equipment. That is indeed unfortunate. If possible, I hope you can practice using the snorkeling mask in a pool next time, and we would love for you to join the tour again. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time next time.

This time, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and booked this tour. It was an experience beyond my imagination. It was so wonderful that I forgot to take pictures. Wild dolphins swam around us, performing three flips, and it was so mystical and amazing that I thought I was dreaming. Our guide, Daisuke, and the captain were perfectly in sync, and they were incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystem, providing detailed explanations to all our questions. They took us to the best spots to see the dolphins, and coincidentally, there were whales nearby that day, so we got to see not only dolphins but also whales. It was truly the best experience. I definitely want to participate again.

The wild dolphins were truly adorable, and I had the best time!! I was also able to see wild whales!! They were swimming side by side and showed us their faces, which was so moving. I would recommend this tour to any friends or acquaintances going to the Big Island!! Captain Daisuke was very friendly, and his love for the dolphins really came through!! For those who are a bit worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!! I usually donโt get motion sickness, but the rocking of the boat, the waves while swimming, and the tension and excitement completely got to me (laughs). If I get to go to the Big Island again, I will take motion sickness medication and join this tour again!! It was truly the best time!!

At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling, and when I jumped into the sea, I accidentally swallowed some seawater and almost drowned. When I saw dolphins underwater, I panicked trying to capture that moment in a photo and ended up swallowing seawater again...
After a few failures, I finally got the hang of it and was able to film the dolphins' graceful swimming. It was a lot of fun.

It had been since elementary school since I last entered the sea. Not even sure if I could swim, I bought a swimsuit and participated anyway. Before getting on the boat, I took motion sickness medication, applied sunscreen, and set sail with some anxiety.
However, the beautiful sea and sky that unfolded before me quickly blew away my worries.
Fortunately, I encountered dolphins at a reef where they only play when they're in a good mood. It was a wonderful experience. It was truly a playful interaction with the dolphins. They didn't just swim past me; I was surrounded by dozens of dolphins from all sides, even at my feetโit felt like a dream.
I dove three times. Even in the deep sea, I felt no fear when jumping in. I was surprisingly filled with excitement and anticipation.
I was also drawn to the personality of our guide, realizing that there are people who can live such wonderful lives. It made me reflect on the importance of being mindful of everything I choose to engage with. I expressed to my husband, who joined me, that I want to avoid things that harm nature or animals as much as possible. I decided to study nature more and see it up close.
Ah, if only I could swim betterโฆ! I definitely want to come back someday.

This was easily the highlight of our trip. Trevor and the staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they got us into a pod of 200+ dolphins. We left with amazing photos and an amazing experience. We will definitely be back next time we're on the island. Don't hesitate to book this trip!
Aloha! Thank you for participating our dolphin tour! We are really happy that you enjoyed our tour!!
We are looking forward to see you in this beautiful ocean again!!

This was my second time on a dolphin swimming tour in Hawaii, but the experience on the Big Island far surpassed my previous one. Following the guide's instructions, a pod of about 50 dolphins came close to us repeatedly. The location of the dolphins changes daily, and on the day we participated, the guide had confirmed in advance that they were near the harbor. Therefore, we didn't have to search for them by boat.
We encountered the dolphins shortly after departing from the harbor, allowing us to swim with them for a long time, even after other boats had left. I could clearly hear the dolphins' calls underwater.
Both the guide and the boat captain were very proficient in Japanese, so there was no language barrier. They provided wetsuits, fins, and masks, making it enjoyable even for those who are not confident swimmers. Our third grader had a great time as well.
I highly recommend this experience if you visit the Big Island.

Daisuke, our guide, was wonderful with his attentiveness.
The weather was drizzly and chilly, not typical for Hawaii, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins! We even got to see them jump, which was very satisfying.
I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but it didn't respond to swipes underwater. I was advised to start recording video on the boat, and when I tried that, it worked well.
While I was playing with the dolphins, I got a bit seasick (it's better to take motion sickness medication), but everyone was kind and helped me calm down.
According to Daisuke, "I am confident that we can get you closer to the dolphins than anyone else. If we couldn't see them, I believe other companies' boats wouldn't be able to either." His love for dolphins and constant attentiveness seem to help him know the best spots and share information with others.
If thereโs a next time, I would definitely love to join again.

I participated with my wife. The reason we chose this activity, as mentioned in the reviews, is that the guides (Daisuke and Ryo) genuinely care for and love the dolphins.
After actually participating, I felt even more that they truly love dolphins from the bottom of their hearts. We encountered dolphins multiple times and were able to swim with them. It was moving to see them swimming comfortably in the natural sea, including family dolphins and baby dolphins. We could also hear their voices.
On our way back to the port, we encountered a manta ray, and although it wasn't included in the tour, we were given the opportunity to swim with it. Thank you so much!!
When we returned to the port, I strongly felt the desire to protect the natural dolphins. I definitely want to participate again next year!

The weather was clear, the sea was very beautiful, and I had the rare experience of seeing many wild dolphins. However, the boat captain was doing multiple roles alone, which made things difficult. It seemed like he thought we didn't understand English, as there was hardly any conversation or explanation. For example, we were suddenly handed snorkels and told to jump in, which was confusing. We had to watch the movements of other tours to figure out where the dolphins were and decide when to move. It was disappointing that the service spirit was lacking, but overall, I was satisfied with the tour.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize that it did not meet your expectations.
As mentioned in a separate email, I have conveyed your feedback directly to the operating company. I have been informed that a discussion was held with the captain in charge, and they have promised to provide clearer guidance on the timing for entering the water, so that everyone can fully enjoy the tour in the future. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We are committed to working closely with the operating company to ensure that we can always provide tours that satisfy our customers. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
