Absolutely unforgettable experience! - This was one of the most beautiful and special experiences we’ve ever had. The whole crew was amazing from beginning to end. Captain Peter was confident, calm, and made us feel completely safe. Tim, the first mate, was professional, kind, and super attentive. Amelie was truly special. She was incredibly generous and caring with my pregnant wife, and that meant so much to us. We will never forget her kindness. Ryan brought great energy, Gaylen was friendly and helpful, Ken was attentive and welcoming, and Yuya did an amazing job capturing the moment with photos. And honestly, we believe our baby was the one who brought all the dolphins closer to us! It felt magical, emotional, and unforgettable. Thank you to the entire crew for making this day so perfect. This was more than a tour. It was a memory we will carry forever. Highly, highly recommend!

Amelie & Katie Made the Difference! 5★ Experience from Start to Finish! - We had an absolutely incredible experience on this tour, easily one of the highlights of our trip. We got unbelievably lucky with the wildlife. We swam with killer whales and two different types of dolphins, which was surreal. On top of that, one of the sea turtles was just floating at the surface like it knew it had an audience, basically showing off for everyone on the catamaran who wasn’t in the water. It was honestly amazing. The crew is what really made the whole experience though. Captain Shanti and First Mate Koa ran everything smoothly, and the entire deck crew (Amelie, Ryan, Tim, and Minako) were incredible. Super professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about everyone having a great time. A special shoutout to Amelie, who went above and beyond when my wife wasn’t feeling well. She handled it with so much care and empathy without making it a big deal, which we really appreciated. Also, Katie, the photographer, was fantastic, not just taking photos but actively helping guide people in the water and making everyone feel comfortable. The whole team created a safe, welcoming, and fun environment from start to finish. You can tell they really care about what they do. Would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Hawaii!!!

First dolphin experience - I was more surprised to encounter dolphins than I had imagined. It was a great experience to see whales that were out of season. I really enjoyed swimming with dolphins for the first time and had my first experience. The staff were very cheerful and kind, with some Japanese guides who taught me carefully, and I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. It was a good memory of Hawaii. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

View some dolphins - It was a lovely trip to find and watch the dolphin. The staffs ( captain Jef, Sarah, Tim and Bryan) were super friendly and helpful, they made sure that it would be safe and everyone have a comfortable time. We did see waves of dolphins far and near ( 2 types of dolphins included). And they are a wonderful experience. The last dive also include some turtles. I dotted down one star cause this might be out of control of the crew. The weather was too windy and not peaceful so the sknokel time was very limited. Me and my boyfriend vadely see a dolphin when sknokeled which was quite dissappointed cause we expected to be able to actually swim with the dolphins. Also there were around 17 people on the boat which makes the sknokle very crowded, easily bumped to one another and I definitely see majority feet instead of the animals. The boat is roomie, I suggest bring some food ( even instant noodle since they have hot water) sandwich was alright. There were hot chocolate, tea and some lemonade. Also checking the weather to book the tour, they will sail but of course not guarantee the experience you would have so gotta do our own due diligence. For the tour I have, better to just view the dolphins from the boat than having the swimming.
