Wonderful day watching dolphins - It was an absolutely amazing day out seeing dolphins and turtles and fish alongside other wildlife. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and took excellent care of us. They were patient and helpful and reassuring to the customers on the tour hesitant to get into the water. The snorkelling tutorial was complete and helpful as it was my first time snorkelling. Would 100% recommend to couples and families or anyone looking to experience the sealife around Oahu

I would love to use it again. The children were very satisfied. - I went on a tour swimming with dolphins. Because of the small group tour, the transfer to the dock was very smooth without having to travel to various hotels. The Japanese guide was very considerate of us and we were able to participate in the tour with peace of mind and fun. It was very touching to see a group of dolphins in such a beautiful blue sea, not on top of the ship, but in the ocean. The children were very happy to see the sea turtles as well as the snorkel. I would love to use it again.

The ride over to our spot... - The ride over to our spot to see the Dolphins was absolutely amazing, gorgeous horizons, and beautiful blue water. We got to see several pods of spinner dolphins. We got to our destination site to snorkel and got to see an octopus. We got to wrap it around our arms and pad it. Got to see all kinds of wildlife and turtles. It was an exceptional trip for our family and grandkids.

Second time, and just as amazing as the first. - I've done this now twice. The crew does a great job. They are very kind and accommodating. They did a great job of getting us to where the dolphins were, and pointing out turtles along the way. I highly recommend this experience. You can't go wrong spending your money with them.

Incredible Crew and an Incredible Experience! - We absolutely loved every aspect of this experience!! We got to swim with dolphins multiple times, saw humpback whales and went snorkeling with tons of fish and some turtles. The crew were super fun to be around, very kind and fun to chat with and clearly very knowledgeable both in regards to safety for us and the animals as well. They were super great about communication with us and the boat wasn’t overfilled with people either. They clearly try their best to bring the most opportunities to swim with wildlife safely and provide the best afternoon possible. I would absolutely recommend these guys and we will definitely be back!

It was great dolphin watching. - The response from the staff was very friendly and wonderful, and we always had fun on tour. I was very happy to see many dolphins and turtles, including relatively rare seals. Both Japanese and English are available, so I could use it with peace of mind. Please let me revisit it again!

Outstanding! You’ve got to do this!! - Everything was great! We were booked for 12:30 & were picked up around 11:00. We loved that it was farther away from the busy Waikiki area (& we didn’t have to drive ourselves there). The driver was very entertaining. Once on the water, we saw dolphins within 15 minutes - lots of them. They swam right up to & beside the boat. So beautiful!! We went snorkeling in the same area. Again, amazing! The owner & crew were very friendly, knowledgeable, & professional. If we are ever in the area again, we’ll be back.

False advertising but still enjoyable - Great but no snorkeling with dolphins or turtles. I guess there are not that many fish, turtles nor dolphins around. After several hours on the boat with saw a few twister dolphins from the boats. The odd of actually swimming or snorkeling with dolphins seem very slim. Otherwise the all crew was lovable and we still had a good time.
