Snorkel the most popular and beautiful spot in all of Hawaii, Kealakekua Bay.

  We got very lucky with perfect weather, and Mike & Liz did an incredible job at getting us to the right place at the right time, and graciously putting up... read more with a couple horribly chatty tourists. We got to swim with dolphins, snorkel the most beautiful reef in the area, and even caught a whale on the way back. Do it!

  Excellent swim & snorkel. We would not come to the big island and miss our dolphin discoveries trip.

  We had a spectacular day on the water with Erica and Liz. Erica spotted a huge pod of spinner dolphins just as we set out on the open water. Off... read more we went, slipping quietly into the water to swim with 60-80 dolphins. A truly magical experience! They stayed in the area with us for a good 20-30 minutes and swam effortlessly around us, mamas and baby dolphins too. We even saw a bubble ring - so incredibly cool. After they swam out into the deeper water, we set off for some snorkeling and were greeted by a viewing of two humpbacks, flukes and all. When we made it to the Captain Cook snorkeling site, we were in awe or the clear, beautiful water and just so many colorful fish. You can see why it is one of the top 10 snorkel sites in the world. After setting off to head back to the harbor, we saw another two whales breach - one was a baby. What an unbelievable day out on the water! Erica and Liz were fantastic and it’s evident that they love what they do (I mean, who could blame them?!) An A++ adventure for sure.

  The tour was supose to be for 4 hrs, from 8 to 12pm, we enden "swiming" with the dolphins at 9.40am, even though the dolphins were right next to us,... read more we couldnt get in the water because the girl driving the boat said we couldnt be there because until 10am its aloud, which se didnt know, but its true, but still the girl driving the boat was always complaining about the dolphins making her job difficult, because she couldnt predict were they were going, while or the others tour were in the water with the dolphins. Its so easy to tell when someone is doing just the minimum and dont enjoy his job, i wouldnt recommend this company, the should know better who to put in charge of the boat, and not someone that its just waiting for the paycheck.

  First step:
All was set up online.
Next:
We showed up a little early to get a parking place and to find where to check in. It was a bit... read more confusing at first. The team arrived and all was good as they were accommodating and professional. There were 12 of us in the group all together. Not knowing what to expect, I felt comfortable with the orientation and every step of the adventure.
Finally:
Once in the water the only thing we had to do was watch with delight the Manta Rays swimming like sailplanes below us and making upside down summer-salts!

  Holly bologna batman they everywhere, just everywhere. That about says it all. These folks are true experts. We’ve been whale and dolphin watching throughout the western hemisphere... read more from Hawaii to Greece and these folks are really knowledgeable of cetaceans and how to spend time with them. They get you to where they are in their natural habitat (the ocean not a pool) and put you in the water so you don’t scare them off with your activity; tell you how to spend time with, approach (not touch) and observe them to both your benefit and their peace of mind. On our trip we swam with multiple pods of both spinner and spotted dolphins and had them swim almost right up to us as well as frolic, fool-around, jump and spin and play near us. This was somewhat unusual as they normally sleep during the day and when sleeping their swimming is slower, visits to the surface less often and you get them “half-conscious” while the other half of the brain sleeps. We were really lucky as these were behaviors using both halves of the brain so they were fully awake. Please, this is not one to take younger kids to, they need to be mature enough to respect the creatures and the experience.
