The crew was so awesome. They made the whole experience fantastic. We saw not only dolphins but got to see a large sun fish, which they said was a rare sighting and swam with the turtles. I would recommend the excursion to everyone. My husband was walking with a cane and they brought the boat up so he could get on easier.

Cannot recommend this enough! They were extremely dedicated to finding dolphins and ensuring everyone had a great time! We even spent extra time on the water trying to find them. We eventually found spinner dolphins that we couldn’t swim with, but spent a lot of time (more than allotted) to make sure everyone saw them!

I can not recommend this enough! The crew was amazing, knowledgeable, and SO MUCH FUN! It felt more like we were hanging out with friends than on a tour. Having said that, we (they) found many dolphins to swim with, we saw many turtles, and they even found a ramp for us! If you get the chance to take this trip, DO IT! You will not regret it and you will have memories of a lifetime!

We loved loved this experience! The crew was amazing and fun! From all the guys on the crew to our driver that shuttled us back to the hotel to the camera guy that made sure to take lots of great pictures! We’re so grateful for this experience. We saw loads of dolphins and snorkeled with the sea turtles. Would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu!

Hands down the best part of my Hawaii trip! I would go back and do this again 100000x if possible! Transportation is included as well as a professional photographer who allows you the option to purchase your photos once the excursion is complete! The crew on board was so nice, welcoming, informative and accommodating. You can tell they are super experienced and love sharing this opportunity with tourists! I felt safe at all times in the water and any wildlife that is spotted, they will MAKE SURE to point it out for you to see it! We were able to do two jumps into the deep blue with the dolphins - you are required to wear a life vest during this time! Then they take you a bit closer to shore where life vests are optional, and you can swim/snorkel with sea turtles, fish and whatever else they find (they found an octopus for us to see)! During this time is the best opportunity to get any photos you want in the water with the photographer because the environment is a bit more relaxed and you spend 20-40 minutes here before heading back to land! Highly Highly Highly Recommend! Do not hesitate to book!!

We were very lucky on a beautiful day in Oahu- the crew tried its very best and watched out precisely until we found the wild spotted dolphins! They made a huge effort so that everyone can see the dolphins and besides that you can even enjoy without stressing about photos- bc there is a professional photographer on the trip - He will take them all. Highly recommended!
