Best Hawaiian Tour I’ve Ever Taken! - This is my 5th time in Hawaii and I’ve done several excursions: zip line, night dive with mantas, snorkeling, hikes, etc. this was the best one I’ve been on because of just how much you get out of the experience. Boat ride, wild life viewing, island scenery, food and above all else great snorkeling! We had a spectacular experience! Saw dolphins right away, but were also respectful and didn’t chase them (which I loved) and I think because of that we were blessed and the dolphins swam right by our boat! Then had a nice boat ride to our location where we saw turtles sleeping, swimming, and surfacing. We saw lots of fish including two flying fish which was so cool! The staff was stellar! We mostly interacted with Lauren, the official “paparazzi” of the tour and she was great. Very friendly to my kids. Also there was Ben and a few others I can’t remember names, but everyone was so kind, engaging of our lives, and helpful whenever something was needed. The captain was attentive and we all felt super safe! The boat was a great vessel, comfortable to travel on and handled any waves well, and spacious with plenty of shade on the lower deck. One or two people did get a bit sea sick, but they offer bands to help with that. Highly recommend if you’ve never been on a boat to just purchase these as you don’t want to feel sick on this experience if you can help it. Staff did the hula which was lovely and my daughter ate up! They have opportunities for photos with their photographer or by yourself. 10/10 recommend and loved every moment of this. Also at the end got some good local food recommendations. We tipped well because they deserved it! This was seriously fantastic and well worth the cost!

Dolphin Tour was great! - Tour was so much fun. The crew on the boat (Dolphin and You tours) were could not have been nicer. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a few hours out on the water. Seeing the west side of the island was an added bonus. It was beautiful.

Highlight of our trip to Oahu! - We had a fantastic time! We saw A TON of dolphins right at the beginning of the tour. They swam up close to the boat so we got a close up view of them. We even captured some great pictures of the dolphins breaching further away from the boat. The snorkeling was excellent and slide was a blast. The boat was big/comfortable and the sandwiches were delicious. The scenery on the coast was also gorgeous for the entire trip. In total, we saw countless dolphins, 2 turtles, 1 monk seal, and at least 20 different kinds of fish. The crew were extremely friendly, helpful, and fun to be around! Id give more stars if I could, would recommend to basically anyone!

Fun packed snorkel tour! - Cira, Tyler, Silas, danni and (konia)?Were amazing and so personable! They made our trip very enjoyable and they have such a passion for the wildlife. You get lunch, to see wildlife, snorkeling with fish and turtles, tattoos, a huge water slide off the boat that’s wicked fast, inflatable kyakes and body boards, and a little dance entertainment! So much fun in so little time!
