Snorkel two of Kona’s best spots on one trip!

  It is unfortunate that we cannot control the whales and it is disappointing when we don't see them. 100% agree.

Your captain that day is a very experienced captain. We know that you were given lots of facts and history as you traveled along the coast. We hope that you enjoyed that aspect of your trip. The Kona Coast is a spectacular thing to see from the ocean side, as you cannot witness it from the shoreline.

Mahalo for choosing Dolphin Discoveries and taking the time to tell us about your experience.

  WOW!! Best. Day. Ever!!! Swimming with dolphins is something I've wanted to do my whole life, but I waited until it was in the wild. We've been to plenty... read more of places where you could do it in a tank or a sea pen. It was magic watching them swim past, under, around...our Captains Erica and Liz were so awesome-they started the trip with good vibes and positive energy, could not have had better tour guides. They respect and instill respect for these amazing animals while making sure we had the best time and had the most personal up close interaction. We swam with at least 30 dolphins-Spinner, Spotted, and saw Bottlenose on the way back! Had a surprise "hello" from 2 flying fish along the ride! We felt safe the entire time-and they were extra encouraging with my little daughters who were a little nervous at first. They were extra patient and sweet with my 83 year old grandma too-This was a day our family will never forget. Mahalo!!!!

I was really happy with Dolphin Discoveries because they were so fast and efficient. We had very little wait time - it was all information all the time. Captain Bill was entertaining and Liz can recite the most obscure facts about manta rays. I have to say that I didn’t know how great this experience would be - this is not to be missed. You will be talking about it the rest of your life.

They were in contact with other boats and... read more found a pod of 100+ dolphins where our small group of 11 was agile (compared to 30-40 in other boats) and able to swim beside 100+ dolphins THREE times.
