Reviews

“It was amazing! We got to be with he dolphins twice and they were so close and playing around us. You can hear their voices in the water. The snorkeling is pretty awesome too! One of the best memory in Kona. Plus, my son who is 3 didn’t want to go and he stayed with the screw. It was nice to have the opportunity to leave him on the boat.”

“Our family of four enjoyed a two week vacation on the Big Island. The dolphin encounter was one of the major highlights of our trip. Captain Glenn, Taylor, and JJ were excellent guides and helped us see many beautiful dolphins in their natural environment. Mahalo, The Johnson’s from Minnesota”

The best reference is a good word!

  • Whether its Dolphin or Manta, the captain and crew really took great care of me. I really enjoyed swimming with the dolphins. The Manta Rays are even better. The Mantas were the highlight. A must do for anyone coming to the island.

  • We had an amazing experience even though it took a while to see the mantas, but once we did - WOW. The staff was friendly and wonderful and stresses the importance of having an encounter that was safe for the animals.
    Kathleen O Awesome Customer
  • Captain Charlie took us out deep sea fishing. It was an absolute blast. Captain was very Knowledgable and we had so much fun with the Dolphins! We ended up catching a 400 lb blue marlin. It was honestly a trip of a lifetime.
