    This is clearly a standout dolphin snorkeling experience that visitors are raving about, often calling it the highlight of their Hawaii trip. The enthusiasm in these reviews is palpable, with people describing it as a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and a dream come true. What makes this tour special isn't just the incredible wildlife encounters (dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish against a backdrop of stunning mountain views), but the crew who genuinely seem to elevate the entire experience. Captain Jason, Captain Steph, Drew, Ryuichi, Yuya, Yuji, Minako, Tim, Travis, Lucas, and Koa all get enthusiastic shout-outs for their energy, expertise, and ability to make everyone feel safe and entertained. Families love it here, including large groups of nine who all got to swim with dolphins together. First-time snorkelers consistently mention feeling well-cared-for and confident in the water thanks to the attentive staff. The speedboat option seems particularly popular for those wanting a more intimate experience with quicker access to dolphin sightings. Japanese-speaking visitors specifically appreciate having crew members who can provide translation and communicate in their language, which clearly adds comfort and enhances the experience. There's a recurring theme of people already planning their return visit before they've even left, which tells you everything you need to know about whether this tour delivers on its promises.

    Incredible time with Captain Jason, Cristen, Ken, and Yayu. We had a pretty small group that moved fast and ran into our first dolphins within a few minutes. We saw two species and dove 4 times with the dolphins before lunch and then snorkelling the reef. Definitely plan for the bigger boat if you are not a strong smimmer and comfortable in the water. The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly and they created a really fun atmosphere and did a great job of keeping everyone pushing to see more. The experience is intense enough that not using a gopro and focusing on swiming and looking around was a must. Buying the photo package at the end instead was the thing I'm most glad I did. My only regret was not bringing a dry bag with a few more snacks. The bus ride made getting to the harbor very easy, but driving and parking offers the chance to continue on to the north shore for sights and beaches afterwards. 10/10 will bring the rest of the family back next time.
