5.00This 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!

5.00We 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!!!
Great day on the water.

5.00I 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.
Fun

5.00A great day! Two chances to swim with dolphins, and as an extra highlight - being able to see a pod of pilot whales, baby whale included) swimming maybe 12 feet from the boat. Then swimming near shore with green sea turtles, and other fish. Lots of fun, with an awesome crew super willing to make your experience better. Would highly recommend.

5.0010 out of 10!!! We saw mama and baby whales with their escort. 2 different kinds of dolphins. Amazing! Loved jumping off the boat into the water and actually swimming with the dolphins. Peter and crew were super professional and friendly. Very safety conscious for those that were inexperienced to the advanced swimmers among us. Just the perfect day. Absolutely Magical.
Dolphins everywhere.
