This was an absolute dream come true!
Just my husband, myself, awesome trainer Sarah & 2 dolphins Malu & Ipo.
What an education & experience. Something I have dreamed of my entire life & it was more than I ever imagined... more.
There are not enough words.
Worth every penny!

Entertaining & educational emcee.
Wonderful food.
Very good dancers.

Excellent trainers bring dolphins right up to you to pet, splash, and swim with. The view of the dolphins underwater is amazing. The power and athletic ability of these amazing creatures is beautiful.

Seeing the Waipi’o Valley was a highlight of an otherwise already amazing week on the big island. The view of the sea cliffs is stunning, but so is the waterfall, river, taro fields, and other beautiful features of this ... morelocation that you can only see on this tour.
Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable and articulate in sharing his firsthand experience growing up and living in this valley. It was a culturally educational, and aesthetic experience to visit and I would highly recommend it.

After researching several options, we chose the Ultimate Hawaii Circle Island Sightseeing tour from Veltra for our mid-April 2026 trip, and it did not disappoint. Our guide, Marcus, was total pro, wWith 15 years of exper... moreience, his knowledge and storytelling made the 10-hour journey fly by.

The Highlights:

1) Coffee Farm: Stunning views and a great tasting session in the gift shop.

2) Punaluu Black Sand Beach: We were lucky enough to see sea turtles basking on the sand!

3) Volcanoes National Park: Seeing the steam vents and the scale of the active volcano was easily the highlight of the day.

4) Rainbow Falls: The best panoramic view is actually from the side of the park; the hike to the top isn't strictly necessary for the best photos.

5) Waipio Valley Lookout: Absolutely breathtaking photo opportunities.

The logistics were seamless with a prompt pickup at 7:20 am from the Fairmont Orchid. While it is a long day covering 2/3 of the island, Marcus kept us entertained throughout. Lunch, dinner, snacks, and water were all provided, making for a stress-free experience. Highly recommended!

My kids, ages 11 and 13, were thrilled with meeting and engaging with several of the dolphins! We were impressed by the care given to them and the expertise of their trainers. We will be taking part in Dolphin Quest upon... more our next visit.
