  This is our 3rd time with Dolphin Discoveries. Once again the crew was great, we swam with dolphins, spotted a whale and had a great time snorkeling! I... read more highly recommend Dolphin Discoveries!

  We had an excellent trip! Captain Erica and crew mate Liz were informative about the dolphins, whales and coral reefs. We were lucky that we immediately saw spinner dolphins AND... read more spotted dolphins 10mins into our trip! We swam with over 60 dolphins for about 30mins before they swam off. We saw calves nursing, juveniles blow a bubble ring, and adults peacefully swimming. We had extra time that allowed us to visit Captain Cooks reef, which was the BEST snorkeling I have ever experienced. We even saw 5 humpback whales while traveling to the different snorkeling sites. I highly recommend booking with Dolphin Discoveries!

  The staff in charge of the check in was not very professional. The snorkelling equipment was not ready to go in the water. The briefing given to justify that lack... read more of readiness wasn’t reassuring to a customer getting on a small boat during the night. Once in the water, the board was too small for the people around it and not very compatible with how unsteady it was in the water.
This experience was very overrated and not enjoyable for the expensive price you pay for it. No customer care, some of the staff was pretty rude to compensate for their unprofessionalism, in particular with one client in the water who was not at ease, it got handled very poorly.

  We had a great experience with Erica and Liz this morning on our dolphin snorkel. The boat was well taken care of and comfortable/perfect for this expedition. While it took... read more some time to find the dolphins, Captain Erica remained positive and told us facts about the animals. We found two gorgeous pods: one of spinner and one of spotted dolphins. Absolutely incredible experience and completely organic/natural. Once we got back up on the boat, we saw three humpback whales and were able to spot them over and over again as we cruised the ocean. A fabulous way to start our day - we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience!!

  We had an amazing time on this trip. We had beautiful weather and two swims near the dolphins. 6 of them swam underneath us at one point! Afterwards they took... read more us to Kealakekua Bay where we had the best snorkeling experience we’ve had in all of Hawaii (Oahu and the big island). As we returned to the dock 4 dolphins rode in on the bow of the boat with us! Captain Heather was fantastic! She was fun and informative and we really enjoyed spending the day with her. 2
What an amazing experience. Would absolutely do again!

  Captain Heather did a great job of getting us out for our first snorkeling trip. As well as giving us great tips and advice on where to look for sea-life,... read more she is a great steward of the environment as well, making sure that we knew the importance of what not to touch all the way down to making sure we were using the proper sun block to prevent any damage to the reefs. I would definitely come back and do another snorkeling trip with this company.
