5.00This was the highlight of our Hawaii trip. We were able to see a seal, multiple kinds of dolphins, a humpback whale, and sea turtles! Every single person on the crew made us feel welcome. They were always checking in with us to see how we were feeling, making sure we felt safe and secure during the swimming portions, and I could tell they genuinely wanted us to have a great time. Shout out to Captain Stef, First Mate Tim, Travis, Laura, Lucas, Amelie, Gaylen, and photographer Yuya. Thanks for making our last day of 2025 INCREDIBLE. An experience I will never forget.
Scam

1.00It’s a scam. We didn’t swim with dolphins and they had no intention of having us Swim with dolphins. A complete waste of money!!

5.00I can't swim, so the ocean is my specialty I never thought about swimming with dolphins. However, the president of the Dolphin University, Dolphin, recommended it to me and I made a big decision! At first, there was fear, but more exciting than that, we won! The result. It was so amazing. Seen from land and from the sea are very different worlds Dolphin♡ Thanks for the push! The Japanese staff Ryuichi and the cameraman Yuya supported me as I was scared, and even I in "I can't swim, I can't speak English" had the best time. I hope to be back here again! Aiki
We met dolphins⭐️

5.00It was very helpful to have a Japanese staff. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused Mr. Liuichi. I was glad that they were kind to me. The photograph of Jake the photographer was so nice that I was glad I bought it 🎵I want to watch out for seasickness the next time I visit Hawaii! My husband, who is not usually drunk, got seasick. It is also recommended that you definitely take your medicine with you, as the waves will accelerate your sickness further when you enter the water.
Great experience !

5.00We had a fantastic trip with two dolphin sightings and swimming. We saw turtles and even whales from a distance. The crew with Captain Steph was exceptionally friendly, professional, well-organized, and created a great atmosphere on the boat. The captain knew exactly the right spots 👍 We also felt very safe. 10 out of 10 😄 Thanks Steph, True and the whole Team for that great experience. Panos & Veronika from Greece &Austria
