A Day in the Life with Dolphin Discoveries

Come see what a day out with Dolphin Discoveries is really like. This short commercial gives you a feel for the crew, the boats, and the Kona Coast before you ever step foot on the water.

Private Charter: Swimming with Wild Dolphins

Watch a couple share an unforgettable moment surrounded by dolphins on a private charter. Calm and fully in the moment, this is exactly how a wild dolphin encounter should look, both above and below the surface.

Mugged by Manta Rays

Five to six manta rays surrounded our group during this Fourth of July night snorkel just off the Sheraton at Keauhou Bay. This is what a 45 minute manta ray encounter with Dolphin Discoveries can look like on a great night.

Dolphin Tours on the Big Island

Quality time with Hawaiian spinner dolphins along the Kona Coast, the kind of magical day on the water our crew gets to share with guests almost daily.

Snorkeling with Wild Spinner Dolphins

A day spent alongside Hawaiian spinner dolphins in Kailua-Kona, the kind of encounter that turns a family trip to Hawaii into a memory that lasts a lifetime.

Humpback Whales, Up Close and Singing

Every winter, humpback whales migrate to Hawaii's warm waters to give birth and mate. This clip captures a mother, her calf, and a male humpback singing in the background. Turn your volume up for this one.
