The tour was amazing and I could not thank the crew enough, but disappointed that we paid $$ for photos from the trip on November 15th 2017 though still have not received them to either of the email addresses that we provided!!

Really enjoyed this small group tour, we learned a lot about the island and the amazing sea life. Saw lots of dolphins, turtles and a cute baby whale with his mom. Swimming with the dolphins was a unique experience.

This tour was amazing! Pick up and drop off on time. We saw whales, turtles, dolphins. We did snorkeling while the dolphins were swimming around and under us.
Review by: MIKE S, February 2018
Great view of whales and dolphins. Was disappointing not to be able to swim with dolphins but understandable crews was looking out for our safety.

Wonderful trip, in the water with a pod of dolphins twice during the trip. Knowledgeable crew, great breakfast afterward. I went on multiple snorkeling trips and this was the best!
Review by: Yogesh S, December 2017
Everything was great. We were able to see Dolphins right next to our boat. The team tried multiple times to ensure everyone got to swim with the Dolphins. We also saw Turtles and had a fun time at the Snorkeling place.

I was disappointed and did not enjoy this whole experience for various reasons and did not see a value for money and time spent 1 We were on a small power boat unlike Catamaran cruise. Therefore it was not relaxing at all. . Next time I will join a big cruise company for snorkeling on a big catamaran 2 We sort of saw dolphins fins on the way to the first spot where we first stopped for snorkeling had hardly any colorful fish let alone dolphins 3 stopped at the second spot briefly to get close to Dolphins but at my own risk of sharks as one crew member There were 2 female crew on board - one was the captain could not guarantee if there will be a shark or not - Not many went in second time 4 one person had a seasickness but did not have anything to offer like ginger candy to settle a stomach etc. I do not recommend this cruise.

This was absolutely the best tour I took in Hawaii! The staff was great, the group was small, we had a total blast, we saw dolphins and turtles. Would totally do it again next time I go.
Review by: Wendy E H, November 2017
Great tour and so wonderful to see dolphins in the wild - where they belong! Staff was professional and knowledgeable.
Review by: Kelly C, November 2017
Totally amazing experience! Awesome crew : The weather was perfect and we were able to see a lot of cute dolphins. I mean a looot! You'll probably find turtles too. Oh, and if you want to get some nice pics, don't forget to ask Paul. He's really cool! Overall, I'd definitely hop on again :D
Review by: Simon P, November 2017
Great trip! Lots of help from the crew. Swam among the dolphins and turtles. Felt very safe.
Review by: dchua777, November 2017
A smooth operation. Only had a few glimpses of the said dolphins, but of course it is nature and we don't always get what we want. Had a great half day though.
Review by: Jennifer C, September 2017
Got to swim with Dolphin's!!! It was great.
Review by: Sally H, September 2017
Love, love, loved this! The captain and crew were very informative and we saw turtles, swam with dolphins AND saw the first whale of the season!!
Review by: KIM M, September 2017
We had an amazing day. I would recommend this tour. Tour guides were friendly._br/_ Picked us up at hotel. Found the best spots to snorkel with the dolphins and the turtles._br/_ A great experience.
Review by: Nicole G, August 2017
Great seeing all of the dolphins swimming underneath us ! It was very special! Staff was great!
Review by: Mary P, June 2017
An ABSOLUTE MUST!!!!! During whale season, we saw several whales, snorkeled with pods of dolphin and also beautiful sea turtles. Trip of a lifetime. Team was upbeat, fun, knowledgeable and knew exactly where to go to see the most, amazing!
Review by: Dom, June 2017
Whatever you do, do NOT get seasick. The tour guide will coerce you to go back immediately to shore and you will NOT be refunded (Not even partially) because the manager considers sea sickness a "personal issue."
Review by: nick_kauffman, May 2017
This trip was absolutely fantastic. Our driver was right on time and provided good information about what to expect during our trip. Once on the boat, the staff was very friendly and engaging. They did their best to try and speak with everyone to get to know you a little bit better. Once in the water, we were in for quite the show. We were able to see almost 100 dolphins, which the tour guide advised was rather unusual. We were also able to see several turtles and some exotic fish. Just keep in mind that you actually have to go out and find the marine life. This may take quite some time to figure out so don't get frustrated. As for the whales, it was too late in the season to see them. From pick up to drop off it was about 6 hours.
Review by: Biogirl1967, May 2017
Absolutely amazing. The team we had were wonderful. It was easy to see they enjoy working together. They also have the well being of the animals in mind before the profit of the trip. That meant a lot to me. HIGHLY recommend buying the photo package. Paul, the photographer is very talented and knowledgeable. I'd give more stars if I could.
Review by: gcastle5, April 2017
We had such a good time on this tour. The crew, Jenna, Brook and Nicky were so friendly and great. Jenna drove us to some great spots where we saw and swam with a couple hundred spinner dolphins. Then she found a spot where we swam with the big green sea turtles. Even though it was late in the season, we also found two whales. We had pre-ordered lunch and it was very tasty. The zodiac was very comfortable. Just a fun day.
Review by: Paul F, April 2017
5-star experience!_br/_ Well organized, well run, everything provided as promised. The staff were all helpful and attentive, friendly and knowledgeable._br/_ We saw several large pods of dolphins on the surface and then we were snorkeling where two large pods passed below and around us as if choreographed.
Review by: Robin J, April 2017
Great fun! Weather and winds created some murky waters but the crew worked to find us suitable spots including a short swim with spinner dolphins!

Review by: Ben G C, March 2017
Absolutely amazing tour! Beautiful sunny day, crystal blue waters, friendly and knowledgeable guides and photographer, and above all, we were blessed with experiencing the trifecta - snorkeling with a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and seeing 2 humpback whales close up. Could not have asked for a better day out which made for a memorable lifetime experience for myself and my girlfriend. Highly recommended!
Review by: Bonnie H, February 2017
This is a chance of a lifetime to be a part of nature. Snorkeling and seeing the dolphins and sea turtles was breath taking. We were lucky enough to see the humpback whales. The staff made everything perfect. Would do it again in a heartbeat!!
Review by: Elena K, February 2017
Did not like the tour, boat does not have a place to change or hide from the wind, u have to sit in a wet suit for 3 hours and it was cold. Saw only one tortle and very deep on the bottom, can not even make a good picture. Boat was crowded, the snorkeling mask leaked horribly. no tropical fish there either, too deep for that. Three weeks later still did not get any pictures from the tour for which we paid 50 bucks, she only sent her bonus photoes from the last years, photos not so great. Waste of money.
Review by: Nicolas N, February 2017
Up close and personal with whales, dolphins and sea turtles. very personal and fun staff. The day itself was not as dolphin-packed as the last one, but that's not the tour company's fault but we had more whales. Nice very fast boat. very well organized. I live here and it's incredibly worth it to go on this tour, unforgettable.

This was an amazing trip and is on my to do list for our next visit!
Review by: Charles W, January 2017
A great tour. Friendly and knowledgeable staff conducted a well-rounded tour._br/_ The lunch was nothing to brag about, but that's not what we came for.
Review by: Nicholas B, January 2017
We Had an amazing day. We swam with the Dolphins and seat turtles and so lucky to get up close to the whales. The tour operators, in particular Brooke were fantastic and very knowledgable. The lunch afterwards was really good as well. Would highly recommend this tour and definitely do it again.. Kylie- Sydney Australia
Review by: Paul A, January 2017
We joined the cruise as a family of four 2 kids, 8yo and 10yo and all four of us had an amazing time. We would highly recommend this cruise. The staff were really knowledgeable and really friendly and accommodating. They paid attention the kids to ensure they were getting the most out of the experience. Everything was very relaxed. The equipment was all good. The boat was smaller and faster than other cruises we saw going around the same time, for me this was great as I felt we were a lot closer to what we were seeing in the water. We saw lots of whales and bottlenose dolphins. We were in the water with spinner dolphins although they didn't come too close. We were in the water with Green Back Turtles and loads of tropical fish. And the bonus, as the boat was preparing to leave a snorkelling spot we were paid a visit by an inquisitive, but apparently very rare, Monk Seal.
Review by: John N, January 2017
Absolutely perfect! The crew was great, very knowledgeable and skilled. We saw turtles, whales tails only but it was still amazing and two species of dolphins. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again.
Review by: Cassondra E, December 2016
Great activity! Whales, dolphins, and sea turtles! Amazing crew. Photographer was happy to do special pics. Included lunch at the cafe following the trip was really good. We ordered our food before we left and it was ready when we returned.
Review by: AlyssaLoren, December 2016
We saw HUNDREDS of dolphins, two wales, a sea turtle, and lots of tropical fish. TAKE ANTI-NAUSEA MEDS. I got very sea sick, but never did before this tour. It was SO AMAZING, it was still worth it! The guides are awesome, Especially Emanuelle. Paulfin Photography takes great photos that you buy.
Review by: meganhannahrolfe, December 2016
The best thing I have ever done! Swam with so many dolphins - so close you could touch them (but don and #39;t) baby dolphin doing flips in the air and swam with 2 turtles! Staff super friendly and knowledgable, helped with my first time snorkel nerves! Want to do again, really recommend!
Review by: samanthawilding686, December 2016
This was fantastic we saw Humpback whales, loads of Dolphins, turtles amazing. Was worried about the small boat but seeing these amazing creatures in their natural habitat made it extra special. This is a must do when in Oahu.
Review by: Dov R, December 2016
This was the highlight of our vacation, highly recommended_br/_ everybody involved were great.
Review by: Jason Charles L, October 2016
I was about 30 ft from the dolphins. When you are under water, you can sometimes hear the noises and sounds of the dolphins communicating to each other. After swimming with some dolphins, we headed over to another section of the ocean and snorkeled for a good 45 minutes is crystal clear water. There were a variety of fish and sea life we observed. The lunch was also very good when we returned back.
Review by: Rebecca S, October 2016
Beautiful scenery, fantastic snorkeling, all around a great adventure!
Review by: Toshikazu S, October 2016
It was a really great experience!! Kids are so excited to swim with dolphins and a turtle. In addition we could swim with a big manta. Staffs are also excited that there are very few chance to see wild manta!! All of staffs are so kind. When I come to Oahu next time I would like to join this tour again!! Thanks to all of the excursion staffs!!

Review by: Sarah L, September 2016
Such a great experience! We saw a pod of spinner dolphins not three minutes into the trip. We jumped in and spent a good 30 minutes with them. Amazing to be so close. We then went up the coast to a reef and saw colorful fish and a handful of sea turtles. The last stop was a few miles out to sea. I sat that one out but the folks that jumped in had a great time and swam with spotted dolphins. We saw bottle nosed dolphins on the way back in to shore. Three types in one trip was a treat. The crew and photographer were wonderful!
Review by: Steve M, September 2016
A great day out with a friendly and knowledgeable crew. We arranged for hotel pickup, and from the time we left to the time we got back, had an excellent day._br/_ There is no rushing and all the crew made sure that all guests were looked after and got the most out of the trip and are very experienced in finding both dolphins and turtles for you to swim with. The day we went, the waters were crystal clear and blue, and was one of the best days we had on Oahu.
Review by: Rachel C, August 2016
