5.00This was a fun excursion in which we saw many Hawaiian spinner dolphins, one sea turtle, one seal. It was a lot more play on the slide and in the ocean than true snorkeling, but a lot of fun nonetheless!
Great crew and experience

5.00My daughter and I loved this excursion. The crew was so friendly and accommodating, especially the captain who let the kids sit with her and karaoke. Also, don’t skimp on the photo package! We are so glad we purchased the pictures.
A must if you love snorkeling!

5.00This experience is a must! The boat crew was incredible, keeping us entertained both during the bus ride and on the boat. We loved the great tidbits Lauren, Syre, Kai, Ben, and crew had to offer. We got to see a pod of spinner dolphins and several turtles surfacing from the coral reefs for air during snorkeling. It was a wonderful addition to our trip, and we could not recommend booking with Dolphins and You more!
