"Dolphin Adventures !"

Reviewed January 24, 2020 NEW

We wanted to thank Owner Bambi & Capt Keith for a Beautiful & exciting day of Snorkeling ,Site Seeing and Learning the History of the Kona Coast ....We found Dolphins in Kailua Bay and we're instructed as to how to approach them in the water so as not to scare away .....This was one for the Bucket List !! We also were taken to Kealakekua Bay and had the opportunity to swim and snorkel with an abundance of tropical fish ..... Definitely a 10 !! We enjoyed the day so much that we booked with them for an evening Manta trip next week .....Thank You for the Highlight of our Vacation ❤️

"A worthy adventure to be sure."

Reviewed January 24, 2020 NEW

I have been out with this company several times in the past few months. One of the many things I like is that they share the history of the region, and help one to understand and respect the ocean life. I've never had an unsatisfying experience.

"Too expensive for what you get."

Reviewed January 23, 2020 NEW

This was a very high-priced provider when compared to other companies. They have a 6-person zodiac boat, so they claim to offer a more personal experience. Well, my experience was that our boat captain would not shut up about his experience on other boats, and all of the people that he knew on the island, and how we should visit his coffee farm. He, seriously, NEVER STOPPED TALKING. It was exhausting. AND, we NEVER got to swim with the dolphins, because we could not find any. Then, when I asked about a discount on another trip to try again to swim with dolphins, I was offer $20 off. Seriously? This company already charges $30-$40 more per person. Ridiculous! I understand you can't control wild animals. But, you can control the captains that you hire, and the discounts that you offer people for returning after disappointing trips. Go with another company. Complete waste of $340!

We did the sunset tour. Captain was knowledgeable. We saw two manta Ray's and a bunch of maquerel fish eating the plankton. Cool experience with no feeding from.human to the wildlife which is good!

"Swam in a POD of dolphins!"

Reviewed December 25, 2019

Amazing tour! Island points. Kealakekua Bay! Baby Dolphins looking up at us while we swam right alongside them! Twenty two years visiting the Islands and living here. NEVER swam with the dolphins before! Was in warm wet suit. Best Snorkle gear. Expert Captain. MOST fun. Just the two of us on the boat. My great-Neice’s 20th Bday! Unforgettable!
